From Quiz Tony Blair: Wizard or Wonk?

Answer: 6 May 1953 in Edinburgh Scotland

An auspicious moment for us all, eh? Tony's astrological sun sign is in Taurus the Bull. Can you recall any stubborn decisions he's clung to?

For answers to these questions and much more peruse a copy of Phillip Stephens' biography, "Tony Blair: The Making of a World Leader."

Answer: Parsons

The "Guardian" did an article on Tony as a person to pay attention to within the Labour party. Tony was by then 42 years old. He discovered his original surname was Parsons.
