Funny how the Lefties voted for this man three times yet now he has gone from British politics he's a pariah...Did they not spot he was a self-serving, vacuous, American-led, machine who had absolutely no commitment to the values that the Left espoused.
Powerless but now extremely rich. That's no crime, of course, so long as you're doing a good job for your pay...Ghastly, odious user now loathed by the people who supported him for so long.
An envoy has the power to represent his government fully (plenipotentiary). Unfortunately MrB's present government happens to be the opposition. Both of them.
And the people who supported him, and his Party, for so long should be contrite. Try to read his dreadful autobiog (inevitably entitled "Journey") -though wouldn't even wish it on my worst enemy.
You can only judge a politician on his record. Comparison with others is meaningless. It depends on so many variables that it's like saying Elton John is better than Joni Mitchell. It is a subjective, and ultimately, nonsensical, comparison.
//What's he doing/saying about israel?Gaza and Iraq? //
Whatever he does or says, why should the Israelis give a stuff about him?
The Iraqis? Do they remember him as a leader who rescued them from Saddam's tyranny or as a leader who sent troops and tanks and planes and killed a bunch of their relatives? They have even less reason to pay attention.
My apologies if my question came across as the Israelis etc should listen to him, that wasn't my intent.
I'm curious as to why someone who was spouted as being a Peace Envoy (excuse me whilst I choke) has nothing to say in the media.
Not that anyone would really listen anyway.
Just awaiting the Chillcott Report on the Iraq invasion, when it's finally published. It will have been a long time coming and way behind promised publication date.
scooping i always thought he was a snake oil salesman, i never liked him nor respected his Labour credentials, now he is filthy rich, strange that, from what exactly, his wife's dad is or wasn't wealthy - and he was a barrister, so deals within deals as they say
