To think Tony Blair must live on another planet

[Temporaryname137]

If he really thinks that what the current mess needs right now is him. A war criminal champagne socialist who couldn't lie straight in bed, whose time as PM ended ingloriously - and he thinks HE should make a comeback???

Only someone who helped massively to fuck up the ME and then thought he could be the peace envoy for the region (and trouser a hefty wedge too) could be so blind, surely!

I'd love to see TB in a war crime tribunal, he is utter scum, lying thieving bastard comes to mind.

I agree , total utter lying insincere SCUM.

YANBU. The cunt fucked this country over

Prometheus, in the case of many Labour supporters the vitriol is that they don't really want to be in power. They want a life of endless protest it's so much more meaningful.

At least he was competent. That places him head and shoulders above any of the available options right now.

Fuck me. I thought it was bad enough Honey G just got thru on X-Factor

Prom yes I do think we would have avoided invading Iraq with a different PM. The UN and the rest of the EU didn't support the invasion.

Prometheus - his Govt did a great deal of good, I agree with you on that. He also caught the mood of the country perfectly when Labour won its initial landslide election.

But he took us into an illegal war. Was it the right thing to go and sort Saddam out? Probably. Nobody is denying that the man was a shit and a tyrant. But it was ill-conceived and ill-planned and the ramifications of Blair's decision to follow the US at all costs, are still being felt today. Not least by the poor bloody Syrians and Iraqis who are trying to survive under IS.

Blair's problem was that he believed his own publicity. He became more self-important and grandiose as the months passed. Then when you consider his behaviour out of office - taking money from the Kazakh regime in return for advice on its image and PR, his buy-to-let property holdings, his wife's work for the Maldivian govt after they stage a coup to get rid of the last president - which is odd work for a couple who were so committed to socialism, democracy and the Human Rights Act.

God in heaven. Are things not bad enough?
I felt real rage when I saw him at the cenotaph on remembrance Sunday. I don't know how he Even had the gall to turn up.
I marched for the first and only time in my life against the Iraq war.I regard him as a war criminal.I can't see how he'd improve the situation we are now in.

I'd like him to get back into politics so that he once again appears at public events and then I can throw eggs at him.

Tony Blair may think he wants to make a comeback but no party would have him as a leader. Even Sarko who has failed to get the nomination of his party for the French Presidency is better supported.

Although I was very unhappy with him over Iraq I've come to the conclusion that anyone in power at time would've done it too. If he came back I'd vote for him. May's completely out of her depth.

Corbyn V Blair who would you choose? Imagine? Sounds like the UK's Trump V Hillary.

BTW what happened to that move to get Bliar indicted for war crimes that was flying around about a year ago. Anyone?
