A palindrome for Tony Blair

 TWENTY years ago or so I had this letter (a palindrome) printed in the Hereford Times. All the letters started with 'MADAM,..." so it seemed an ideal opportunity to send in a palindrome. I wish now that I had pretended that my name was actually Adam. Oh well.

Buoyed by success I thought I would start work on another and after a few weeks I had come up with the following:-
 
Party rotten? Test on odd ones. Retaliate, disaster rages! Unite, gristle-bottom. So go let arise Tony Blair to do trial by notes irate. Logos? Motto-belt, sir? Get in. Use garrets as I detail a terse nod. Do not set net - Tory trap!  
 
I remember starting with "Tony Blair to do trial by not" and working outwards, and the rest sort of fell into place in the usual way. I have not attempted any more since!
