Tony Blair

[mushroom25]

he's back, allegedly
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/tony-blair-returning-to-politics-comeback-jeremy-corbyn-nutter-theresa-may-lightweight-a7427676.html

is there really a need for Mr Blair's services in british politics? does the british electorate want him even if there is?

[jno]

"He’s not impressed with Theresa May. He thinks she’s a total lightweight. He thinks Jeremy Corbyn’s a nutter and the Tories are screwing up Brexit."

Which bit do you disagree with?

[mushroom25]

did I say I disagreed with what he said? I asked if there was a need for mr blair - as in (if you like) a lying warmonger?

[Peter Pedant]

I voted for Bliar ...... for it was he
in 1997
I dont think I will be repeating that mistake in 2017

but these politicians who think they are indispensable
they have bedded in
and think the country cant be run without them

welcome back bliar
he will try all the usual rhetorical tricks
and instead of being greeted with inspired looks of 'we can do it'
he will be met with sardonic laughter
and Bliar will depart with the bitter words - 'they just dont understand - they just dont understand how good I am for them'

If the Country accepts his return there there is truely no hope for us.

The parasite returns,

[gulliver1]

Well done Tony , come and sort this lot out . The country needs you!.

[Bazile]

Well he is no worse that this current crop

"Is there really a need for Mr Blair's services in british politics?

No he's did enough damage to this country with his US cohorts to starting worldwide wars and increasing terrorism and threats to us whilst he swans around the globe protected.

"The controversial former Prime Minister is engineering a comeback because he feels he can fill a political vacuum caused by Theresa May being a “light weight” and Jeremy Corbyn being a “nutter”

Not because he's ran out of money or knows that with Trump in power he can ride his coat tails into securing mega millions in secret arms deals?

I think that this is his real agenda here.

[Jackdaw33]

His first problem will be finding a seat in parliament. Labour won't touch him with a bargepole.

[Lunol]

No doubt after a few large FREE brandies in the House of Commons bar he'll convince a few with his loose lips that if he can gain a seat he'll make this country "Great again" and correct his mistakes as well as put in a heap of cash in into the countries empty coffers as well as the Mp's who have "Helped him" if you catch my drift.

Dirty politics by an even dirtier blood stained handed man.

[jourdain2]

He's done more than enough damage here and in the rest of the world already. Could he be sectioned and put away somewhere, burbling happily into a dead camera? Probably not :(

[Lunol]

" Could he be sectioned and put away somewhere, burbling happily into a dead camera?

I heard that Guantanamo Bay has "Vacant Suites"

Perfectly fitting for Nazi war criminals,fallen dicators, corrupt mp's goverments and the Bush and Bliar families I would have thought.

Maybe those above could have Isis supporters flown in where they could be tortured all day and all night in cells with bright lights and loud speakers where they could hear 24 hours a day the droning warblings of the above mentioned as they read their memoirs to them or justify their illiegal and immoral actions.

Then again giving them a captivated audience would probably be more like heaven so scratch that idea.

@ Baldric....15:40 (20 Nov).....how absolutely right you are...!

[agchristie]

"He thinks there’s a massive hole in British politics that he can fill.”

Yes, I think he could pass a sheol test.

[ichkeria]

A bit of an airy-fairy story this. Blair himself suggested a comeback several months ago, but this article only quotes 'a source'
It's hard to see in what capacity he would return to party politics. He may just mean a higher profile - if indeed he means anything.

[jno]

I think his time is past; but I can't fault the reasons he's (allegedly) given for wanting to return.

[ichkeria]

Indeed jno. I just don't see Blair as the natural first choice to fight back against the Mays, Farages and Corbyns of this world. Not to mention the Trumps and Le (Les?) Pens

[Just-Jude]

Tony Blair was an excellent Prime Minister, people forget that things really did get better. Cameron was and May is a total lightweight, pygmies on the world stage. Tony's biggest mistake was giving the job up too, his policies created wealth and ended division in the country.

[Jackdaw33]

No comment!!!!!

[ichkeria]

Blair started off ok and indeed there were many fine achievements but he damaged his party by his cavalier attitude to the members.
Iraq of course was the disaster which he still seems in denial about
