Tony Blair returns to British politics
I thought I sensed a disturbance in the Force ....
No shadow cabinet return for Tony Blair - Telegraph Love him or loathe him, you can't deny he was good at winning elections. Should Dave hold off on re-decorating Number 10? |
Love him or loathe him.... |
I'm guessing that at least Cherie and the rest of the tribe are rather fond of our Tony. Or his bank accounts anyway.
On second thoughts, maybe we don't have to worry too much. I can't see him giving up the multi-million pound contracts he has with the likes of JP Morgan which will undoubtedly constitute a conflict of interests with regard to serious high level policy making positions. |

Who on earth could possibly 'love' that slimy little $hit? By the way, you forgot to use the word "oleaginous", which is customary when you're on a Blair rant. Ditto the very clever "Bliar". |
I think that you might be in the minority there L72 :)
|
I should imagine that has put a nail in the coffin of the Labour party's chances of getting back in
|
I'm with you Beags!
Maybe he will get the job of teaching the Team GB football team how to kick penalties! Afterall he earns more than the footballers so they might take some notice of him!!:D:D:D:D:D:D |
If this Champagne Lefty to end them all gets any appointment again in any Government it'll be testimony to the gross political ineptitude and short memories of the the British Electorate. Not to mention questionable moral principal and coherence!

Of course he's well rewarded - he did the same job as Churchill - lied to get us into a war at the behest of his sponsors.

Go on then I'll bite. Who were Churchill's sponsors and in what sense did he lie?

His next port of call should be a war crimes tribunal.
|
I'm prepared to follow him round with a sign reading 'Iraq'.
|
Met him once.Very briefly.
The most charming bloke I've ever encountered.But I still wouldn't vote for him.Not after the last time I did.. |
I thought that the pic in the link was strangely familiar.

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. |
What I find interesting is that in terms of elections won and time in power he is one of the most successful Prime Ministers ever. So I now ask the question? Why is he not Lord Bliar of Waltermittytown or even Sir Tony
|
He stopped Gordon Brown getting into No10. That shot his chances for a title.
mmitch. |
Shurely shum mishtake there mitch...if he had stopped Broon getting into either Downing St house...he would have been doing us all a favour...
Broon was even worse than Teflon Tony :ugh: |
It annoys me when they give these Turkeys power, they were not elected into Government, so should have no key role in it.... Period
Peter Meddlesome being a classic example |
Try not to be so self centred that you confuse your own opinion with that of the entire UK, dear old Beags. If the esteem in which he is held is such that he wasn't even prepared to go through with his own book signing, despite heavy-handed security requirements, or the later meeja event, then one can only surmise that very few people indeed would be prepared to tolerate him in public office again. |
The "Which" Blair Project rather than the "Blair Witch Project". What do you want me to be/do for you/me, unfortunately too many in this country years ago were "conned" by this slimy limey moron. And as for his wife, the "Blair Witch", who has the dress sense of a blind bat, I rest my case m'Lud. A long period of silence from that New Labour crowd would be most appreciated by all.
|
I'll give Tont Blair his due. In one respect he was an absolute genius. He succeeded in fooling most of the people most of the time!

racedo,
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. Yes there are plenty of Uk nationals that could do with a boot up the "harris" but to paint it as simplistically as incumbents sponging off the state is, as I say, a misconception. That is something that can be laid at the feet of Bliar, Brown etc, something that even they have admitted was a mistake. |
A man who used to spin and stall so often that he did HASELL checks every morning.
|
Maybe the Trillion Pound debt he and clown Brown left us with, whilst at the same time he and that harridan wife of his trousering millions, and telling us socialism was good, for them ? Biggest flim flam, snake oil salesman ever to ru(i)n the UK. I hated him using the term "Ruling Class", whenever he was describing New Labour. Typical wannabe President and First Lady with delusions of competence
|
The possible resurgence of Blair and the Blair Witch,should be sufficient grounds to actually form a" Star Chamber",as used by Michael Douglas,not the Morton of "Morton's Fork",as used by Henry V11.Maybe the Fork could be used for the Blair Mouthpiece,who ought to be another subject of the Star Chamber-one A. Campbell!!!I can think of a few others from the Dark Side,already mentioned.Food for thought and a constant wish if one was Terminal!!!
|
That appears to be turning into another popular misconception. Mrs CK's BFF (to use current terminology) is in a north central england job centre. The %age of non-UK national "clients" (not allowed to call them claimants any more) is now approaching the halfway mark. Yes there are plenty of Uk nationals that could do with a boot up the "harris" but to paint it as simplistically as incumbents sponging off the state is, as I say, a misconception. In certain areas I agree East European immigrants may end up on welfare and collecting but knowing many many Poles I know very few who wish to live off the state or are in anyway inclined to do so. |
He didn't fool me for a second, AGS Man! I took my optional retirement date in 1997 rather than be under that charlatan’s jurisdiction. I wouldn’t prostitute my Commission to that loathsome creature for anything.
|
Decent public school, Oxford degree, rich wife, wealthy, an obvious shoe-in for the Tories.

Odd thread in the
"Military Aircrew A forum for the professionals who fly the non-civilian hardware, and the backroom boys and girls without whom nothing would leave the ground. Army, Navy and Airforces of the World, all equally welcome here." Forum! :confused: |
[QUOTE]He stopped Gordon Brown getting into No10QUOTE]
Delayed, surely. |
The only thing I'd like to see Blair introduced to, is a rope round the neck and a trap door and if some of the others in his cabal were to join him in that position, I'd happily adjust the rope and pull the lever.
|
Gentlemen, gentlemen I would like to request that we do not discuss political personages on our forum as it is simply too depressing!
|
This reminds me of a phrase posted on the US politics thread.........
"It would be like backing up the Titanic for another run at the iceberg!" |
