Apparently he's going to be a matador.......sorry mediator!

....must have fixed the middle east!

[dannyk13]

Depends what you mean by fixed.

[Prudie]

Matador or Bull?

[Bazile]

//....must have fixed the middle east!//

The Middle East is un-fixable

[ToraToraTora]

Well, Tony is capable, both items required for a bull fight.

Firstly, the article does not say Blair is on his way.
Secondly, there are no talks to mediate, yet.
Thirdly, seems to be a fantasy dreamed up by UKIP.
Fouthly, just an excuse for anti-Blair posts.

Not sure why you think some daft made up story about a yesterday's Prime Minister is worthy of discussion. Perhaps it is as a diversion from all the talk of today's Prime Minister (and how terrible she is performing).

"Fouthly, just an excuse for anti-Blair posts. " - ....and that's bad because....?

[Gromit]

Bashing Blair is not bad, and he deserves all the scorn that comes his way.

But the premise that he will be peacemaker in Spain is ludicrous and idiotic, and as an excuse for bashing, makes no sense.

[ToraToraTora]

lighten up gromit, it was meant to be a TIC comment!

[EDDIE51]

Perhaps he is worried about devaluing of his property empire?

[TonyV]

He's managed to make himself a millionaire a few times over in his diplomatic role

[DTCwordfan]

Are they sending Cherie, as well, to buy some flats?.....Mrs Clegg could do her conveyancing as well.

[TonyV]

DTC I'm sure his Mrs will find an investment for the boys lol

[DTCwordfan]

They could buy Gibraltar, Tony......

[TonyV]

Have they not got that little isle already

[TonyV]

Oh no it belongs to us

[Quizmonster]

I see, TTT, that even now you (and others) persist in peddling the notion that Mr Blair's former title as "Middle East Peace Envoy" was literally true...ie that it meant the entire region.
Despite its name, that post applied solely to the Palestine/Israel situation. Perhaps you noticed that, during his tenure, when problems arose in Yemen, Bahrein, Jordan etc, no one expected him to do anything about it. That was because they had nothing to do with him!
Granted, he did not solve the problem he DID have to deal with...but hey!...who ever did since biblical times?

[ToraToraTora]

"Despite its name, that post applied solely to the Palestine/Israel situation." - Right oh QM, that's all tickety boo then is it?

How long has Gibraltar been an island?
