Tony Blair

[pdq1]

Could he be a help or a hindrance at the next election if he takes a prominent part in Labour? Would it change your voting position?

[Duncer]

I would vote for practically anyone who stood against this fraud and warmonger.

[Dodger666]

I think he would be the last person the Labour Party would want.

[tonyav]

Totally agree with Duncer.

[DTCwordfan]

I wouldn't vote for these ijiuts who can't count how much is in the Treasury at any point, sell all our gold, and even now can't admit that they goofed the economy up big time. Bringing back Toe-Nails is not going to fix their woes, just add to them.

Ah, yes, the usual in-depth analysis and reasoned debate.

[DTCwordfan]

What a learned response from you, rojash. I am so under-impressed; it's about the same quality of comment that came out of the No10 spin doctors that Blair employed.

I guess the positive news is that, with such erudite remarks, there is a job for you going at the Labour Party HQ.

[tonyav]

LOL.

[sandyRoe]

Alister Campbell would never have got into bed, figuratively speaking, with Rebecca, or any of her ilk, would he?
As far as spin doctors go he seemed fairly good at his job

[DTCwordfan]

And how often did Ropy Murdoch visit No 10 to see Tone?

[Arti]

The biggest hindrance for the Labour party is Ed Milliband. He seems to be one soundbite after another with no substance or any credible policy. I have always, and will always be, an anti-Tory but I would find it extremely hard to vote for Mr Milliband to be PM.

[tonyav]

Yes Arti, but would you vote for Blair instead of Milliband ?

[sandyRoe]

I think the great secret in politics is not to be found out. Campbell enjoys an honorable retirement while Coulson faces porridge.

[Sheenamf]

Completely with Duncer on this. The man makes me cringe, he's made millions from his time as PM and continues to cost the taxpayer a fortune for his personal security. He should pay for it out of his own pocket

[Deuteronanme]

Blair being re-aligned with the Labour(?) Party would merely ensure that Cameron and Co get back in again. In answer, a help to the Tory Party, a hindrance to Labour(?). Or a pain in the backside for all of us. 'Specially if SHE comes along as well

[tonyav]

He and Cheri make more money now than when he was PM.

[DTCwordfan]

That is true, sandy.....

[jake-the-peg]

//He and Cheri make more money now than when he was PM. //ument - is there

I would hope so he was a public sector employee then - everybody knows you don't become PM for the wages!

But this is a straw man argument - is there any statement anywhere that he intends to?

He's just said he never intends to return to parliament

[tonyav]

jake, he has said a lot of things in the past that turned out to be lies, wepons of mass destruction for example.

[Arti]

I sometimes think that I may have inadvertently hibernated during some of Tony Blair's premiership because, apart from Iraq, what did he do to make people dislike him so much?

[tonyav]

Run the county's economy into the ground maybe, Arti.
