Tony Blair became "obsessed" with creating a British football league as a way of bringing the UK together, the former prime minister has revealed.

Mr Blair said he believed merging the Scottish and English leagues would strengthen the bonds between the two nations after devolution.

But he said a British national football team would have been a "step too far".

Mr Blair was speaking to BBC Scotland to mark the 20th anniversary of the devolution referendum.

I don't understand why this piece of shit still gets so much airtime. He should get Prison Time.

No offence but I hope not, we need politicians we can trust and we are a long way from that at the moment!

None taken buddy, politicians and trust are not words I would use in the same sentence.

Too true. Wishful thinking on my part. I believe someone also once said that anybody who yearns to be a politician should automatically be ruled out of the job as unsuitable.

Southern, are you a Bliar fan then? If so you are the first I have met in about a decade.

Not a fan. But any Prime Minister would have lead the country to the Iraq war. Just think there are worse individuals out there.

We shall just have to agree to disagree on your first point.

The slimy bastard should be tried for war crimes, don't even get me started about his wife defending human rights of those who shouldn't be allowed any.

I think it would be good to be honest, i also would like a Great Britain national team rather than England. Always considered myself British, not English.

I hate that we have to put British on forms..I'm English not British...ffs can't imagine the Scots, Irish or Welsh being happy to put British either.
Would actually prefer to put Mancunian on if I had the option.

Yes I think so. A Newcastle fan quickly pointed out that Milburn had stopped playing when he claimed to have watched him.

He must have been sat next to Ronnie Irani!
