Tony Blair

[KS55]

Is this a multiple choice question?

Which 1 or these 3 statements is the true one?

As man of the people and socialist he certainly wasn't

He was asked if he was a socialist and he replied:"yes", while junking clause 4. For politicians, all words are flexible in meaning.

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 hous of lords, as despite his unpopularoty with a lot of the public he would overshadow the inept dicks in power

Fair points - Cameron was a bit soon to do anything.
Good point about him in the Lords!

He was simultaneously the best leader Labour have had in the modern age, the best PM we've had in the modern age and the man who did the most damage.

Our country would look very different if he hadn't been so far up Bush's arse.

Shame. But if Queeny rates him so highly and wants to make a dig at Boris at the same time, then I won't argue.

Another "Labour" man accepts a knighthood for services to the establishment.

I kick off about the current government methods of controlling the agenda. But this man, along with Campbell and Mandleson started the gaslighting of our nation's electorate.

The thing that puts me off voting labour most is Mandleson has his hooks back in and starmer has given him his ear.
The **** should be in court for many a thing not influencing politics

 

[hilts]

got to be a joke right?

Why?

 

[Blue Mist]

Why?

Because he authorised the kidnap and torture of innocent Britons.

His HUGE expansion of PFI was an absolute travesty. Still paying the price to this day.

I dont know how much say Her Majesty has in these things, but I would say she can blitz it if she totally objected. Tony Blair was PM for a substantial period of time. She has waited 20 years to do it, or whoever sorts it has. It is only right he gets knighted now. John Major has been and he was PM for no time compared. Alex Fucking Ferguson and Andy Murray are Sirs. Im not knocking it, I think the whole idea is silly personally, but it is only right that if others are then Blair is too. Just my view

And rightly so. Did one hell of a job. And still continues to do so. Fuck it, give one to Camron and Epstein also.

No shame at all by the Royal institute. And this is why I always say fuck em. Hope she and her fam burn in hell.

What a charmer you are.

You do know the Queen doesn’t just wake up and decide it and it’s the cabinet office that decides?
