Tony Blair: having a laugh?

[jomifl]

Just heard that our beloved ex prime minister and saviour of the nation is pulling in £9,000,000 including his £650,000 pension. This is the man that brought the country to its knees morally. This is an insult to most British people who have suffered the fruits of his incompetence and to the relatives of those who have died as a result of his ill considered adventuring in Iraq and Afghanistan. Comments anybody?

Some people believe that history will remember him as the greatest prime minister since Churchill...

[alexanderd]

Couldnt agree more but I have also heard he is giving the proceeds from his book to The British Legion so perhaps there is a little bit of guilt in there somewhere

Ha ha! Yes, Mr Blair is a wonderful advocate of the fine Labour principles that every proud working class man likes to think he aspires to.

[joggerjayne]

tb can afford to be a labourite.
h

he earned £20m last year.

the rest of us cant afford the luxury of socialism

[vulcan]

I fail to see the comparison with Churchill, Blair took us into a war, Churchill brought us out of one.

Some people live out their lives in padded cells.

[alexanderd]

I dont believe there is such a thing as a genuine labour politician these days

[sandyRoe]

Wasn't Peter Mandleson a horny handed son of toil?

[naomi24]

No, it isn't Butch. He's a statesman and a very clever one at that.

[Bobbisox]

he's a greasy slippery a$$-hole...!
just my opinion!

[alexanderd]

Say what you mean Bobbi, dont beat around the bush

[jno]

after taking us into war, he stood for re-election, as a democratic politician should. He was re-elected. So the British public were given the opportunity to reject him and his foreign policies, and didn't take it. The wars are now theirs, not just the prime minister's.

[Bobbisox]

I agree joss, war crimes for the Iraqi war

[alexanderd]

Yes jno there were a lot of foolish people out there

[Bobbisox]

I give it free Butch....errr and my opinion as well..lol

[jomifl]

I think that the labour party sold their soul to the devil but it was tony that got paid.

[askyourgran]

Thank you josstick my thoughts exactly.
