Love hearing the Blair responsible for Immigration issues when 18 years of Tories made no difference to it then and now.

The he let in too many Eastern Europeans .................true but given overwhelming majority of those who came in actually work for a living and their taxes pay for the 7 million incumbents living here on the dole, welfare, sickness and other schemes then hard one to blame him on. Would economy have grown since 2004 if they hadn't come in ?

War with Iraq and Afghanistan...............no issues there but he not the first PM to bring UK into a war under a false pretence.....................nor will he be the last who interferes in a foreign country ala Call me Dave in Libya and Syria........and thats just at the moment.

Tony Blair no worse no better than other PMs because as much as the hero worship of Maggie T is, people forget she selling off everything just prior to that little incident in the South Atlantic, had Argentina waited a year then Falklands would be flying a different flag.

Blair no worse or slimier than anybody else.
