im no politico..............but judging by what has EVEN BEEN SAID ON THE BBC.....................i think he has shown everybody what he really is and always has been (since mandelson crawled all over him)..........

 

and he has sunk his own boat........

 

 

What i do have A VERY GREAT RESPECT FOR.....are the people (remainers) who have finally agreed and more or less said ."its not what we wanted, but lets get on with it...and get the best we can out of it ,for the country".............

 

it was starting to worry me that this great divide was starting to happen between us and them.......but i am releived that we are going to start to pull together now....

He's hardly likely to unite anyone these days. Except against everything that he stands for. Even the Grauniad Luvvies are screaming for him to get the Hell out of this debate.

 

Only Mr. B. Liar could call up an insurgence against democracy after he totally ignored a couple of million marchers against the phoney Iraq war and another million plus marching against the fox hunting ban. :whistling:

From the Guardian

 

 

 

It might have been the slap, but the eyes seemed more sparkly and the face less cadaverous than the last time Tony Blair appeared in public, after the publication of the Chilcot Report. This was more the Tony we used to know and love. Or hate. When the former Labour prime minister is in full-on messianic mode, he doesn’t particularly mind which. He is happy to let history be his judge. And on Brexit, he may be judged rather more kindly than he was over Iraq.

Tony looked out at his invited audience at Bloomberg. There was Cherie. And there was at least he had two people he could count on. “Rise up,” he cried. “People of Britain, rise up.” No one appeared to budge from their seats. Undaunted, he tried again. “Rise up. The road we are going down is not simply hard Bregsit. It is Bregsit at any cost.” Still nothing. His faith in the willingness of governments to listen when people rise up was touching, if perhaps misplaced. Two million people demonstrated against the Iraq war and changed nothing.

But that was then and this was now. Let bygones be bygones. When Britannia called, Tony was not to be found wanting. He may not succeed, but he couldn’t sit idly by while Theresa May drove the country needlessly off a cliff. Yes, people had voted for Bregsit last June, but that was then and this was now. People had voted without knowledge of the true terms of Bregsit and, as these terms became clear, it was their right to change their mind. His mission was to persuade them to do so. Tony likes a nice mission.

Like Theresa May for example? She voted to remain but has accepted the majority verdict and more importantly has realised the implications of failing to honour it. She has so far played a blinder. Her speech on ths subject was a master stroke. When the British PM puts her neck on the line and says for all the world to hear that the UK will not accept the Four Freedoms as part of any trade deal and that they will not pay one penny into the EU pot to access their markets, then the world knew that the UK was on the front foot.

 

The other day she addressed the issue of the so-called 'divorce bill' that the EU have indicated may be in the region of £50 billion. What about all the infrastructure that the UK has contributed to over the time it has been a member? Look at that shiny new EU Parliament building in Brussels. We partly paid for that. And the new European Court of Justice building. And all the motorways and bridges and dams and loads of other stuff we have paid for all over Europe and won't be using. Surely we are due reimbursement for those things? It is like a wife demanding half of the husband's future wages and the husband saying: "OK. But I'm due half of the house."

 

Then yesterday TM gave an interview with a major French newspaper 'Le Figaro'. She told them that the UK would not be cherry picking parts of the EU deal as the EU politicians claim. We were leaving and shutting the door behind us. No Freedom of Movement, no European Court of Justice, no contributions to the EU budget. But if you want to trade with us we are happy to continue without tariffs just as we are now. If not we will forge trade deals elsewhere. After all, the USA and China don't have to comply with EU policies to trade with them.

I can't abide the "man" as you may have guessed. Lied to get us into a ridiculous war, his smarmy smile can't hide what he is. On another continent he would be sanctioned by the UN as a war criminal. The worst type of champagne socialist ever.

He is judged by his deeds and cares not. I hope when he's truly judged he burns in hell for eternity.

Hope that clears up any misunderstanding about my thoughts on the slime ball 😊

you'd think that the remain campaigners would've picked someone more socially acceptable to take up the gauntlet, like piers morgan :lol:

Digger, you hit the nail on the head, "odious", there's something truly scary, almost evil about tony blair

 

I don't think anybody chose the pillock.

 

 

 

he seems to firmly believe he has a role in the whole bloody EU in/out set-up.

 

 

 

Someone should remind him that he left public office in 2007

no way, it improved for a while, greedy breweries and supermarkets are killing it for sure, I cant believe smoking went on for so long in public places.

This ^

 

It's nice to be able to get up the next morning without your clothes reeking of the foul stench,

 

People in restaurants lighting up in between courses regardless of anyone else........

 

Sorry......going off topic.....nothing to see here, move along now and get back to Bliar

 

:shaun:
