basically His experience could be valuable in navigating the current complex geopolitical challenges especially at the moment.

he's a war criminal, so on that basis - no.

Hoydenish · 19/05/2025 09:40

No thank you.

No thank you, my dad had to take part in the Iraq war because of him. He’s a war criminal and deserves to be in prison.

IleftmybaginNewportPagnell · 19/05/2025 09:41

Aargh you made me remember Cherie 😭

x2boys · 19/05/2025 09:42

Are you forgetting the small matter of the war with iraq?

Fallenoutthewardrobe · 19/05/2025 09:42

He’s incredibly frail now. If you look at how he aged being PM and how much energy and vitality it takes, he physically couldn’t do it now, regardless of your politics.

justkeepswimingswiming · 19/05/2025 09:42

Of course he’s a criminal, there was no weapons of mass destruction! It was all because America wanted their oil! They even targeted the wrong country!

Scraping the barrel much?

but then the same logic could be applied to many leaders

not quite only some people presume he should be,

He was found to have misled parliament (Chilcot). He lied to drag us into war which killed huge amounts of civilians and increased terror attacks in the UK including 7/7.

He can get to fuck.

DeathNote11 · 19/05/2025 09:44

Goodness me, no!

Tbf,it was nearly 30 years ago he must be well into his 70,s now?

bigboykitty · 19/05/2025 09:45

Bring him to the Hague, that's the only thing he's needed for

FiveShelties · 19/05/2025 09:45

Hahaha, too funny, you cannot be serious OP

Blair is not a popular figure op, as you can see on this thread. If you think he would save the Labour Party, you'd be wrong.

LivingDeadGirlUK · 19/05/2025 09:50

No he shouldn't but I understand why you suggest it OP. The murder of 100,000 Iraqi children aside, it was the best time for the UK in modern history.

Sdpbody · 19/05/2025 09:59

He is the reason we have been overrun with immigrants.

He ruined the UK in my opinion.

bigboykitty · 19/05/2025 10:00

Starmer is Blair on steroids, and look how that's going down...
