Tony Blair

[urban genie]

Not as if any of the Conservative PMs since would put him forward for anything!

It puts him at a similar level to Thatcher who also was in the Order of the Garter. John Major is also a Knight of the Garter.

Cameron much admired Blair and gove says his policies on health and education funding have inspired him.

He isn't as disliked amongst tories as people like to think.

They would never recognise his legacy though and would be scared to see him anywhere near the house of lords, as despite his unpopularity with a lot of the public he would overshadow the inept dicks in power

Miles more eloquent than most of the other cunts that have since come to pass. Ultimately a torie In Murdoch’s pocket like the rest of the moralless scumbags that have come to pass.

Iraq says high you money grabbing fucker.

Utter ****, IMHO of course, the man who declared war and sent the army underfunded to Iraq, soldiers not properly equipped, young men and women in service sacricing their lives and futures. One man who should be in prison for war crimes, not knighted. Shows how misused/corrupt this system is

A fucking socialist? Really? Like Hatton, a complete fucking tosser

Cant validate the article, not UK Daily Star though

A war for oil #6: Of a taxi driver and Iraq invasion

“45 minutes from doom”, the most significant dossier that Tony Blair produced to convince his country that Saddam Hussein actually possessed WMD and that he could hit British mainland within 45 minutes of an order, was completely false.

Nailed it

The honours list is a joke. Plenty of people who actually carry out charitable work miss out. Cronyism and a popularity contest.

Kate Garraway has an honour, what for? Famous for her husband having Covid and spreading hysteria on the televised equivalent of the daily mail...

He won three elections , minimum wage etc , he didnt just take us to war

Strange to think that Blair would likely be a minor footnote in British public life were it not for John Smith’s heart attack. A terrible and tragic loss for British politics.

Bush’s embarrassing little poodle.

He sold off the schools and hospitals to private firms and created an underclass with shite like ASBOs and a culture where shaming people was seen as better than dealing with the causes of crime and anti social behaviour.


Minimum wage, the good friday agreement, devolution were all great steps made by him, and after nearly 2 decades of tories destroying the nation you can easily make you forget that blairs small steps didn't stop the drift in the nation from the have sand have nots

****.

That is all.

Tony Blair was instrumental in the kidnapping and forced removal, from one country to another, of an innocent man. The poor man was then tortured because they thought he was a terrorist.

Abdul Hakim is his name and he was totally innocent. How many more were treated this way ?
A so called civilised country led by Blair kidnapping and torturing innocent people...... and 'we' Knight him.

Fucker should be in jail
