Tony Blair is now Sir Tony.

[Vinty]

I suppose if Jimmy Savile can blag a knighthood, why can't Tony Blair do the same.
The 'honours' system should be renamed the dishonours system.
Maybe its about time it was scrapped.

The queen should have absolutely no say in it or any powers to delegate. She has no democratic mandate whatsoever.

Recognition from the woman who may have allegedly raised a paedophile and has a history of giving special recognition to paedophiles. A true ‘honour’.

Tony Blair

reduced child poverty
Reduced pensioner poverty
Lowered NHS waiting times
Reduced class sizes
Increased number of police
Introduced minimum wage
Grew the economy more than Tory scum

Tories in last decade have

Forced a decade of austerity where the top earners have substantially increased their wealth whilst poorest have stagnated.
Pushed more and more people into food poverty (yes people starving)
Caused a housing crisis
Cut police employees by 43,000
Cut social services to breaking point
Cut criminal system by almost 40%
Enacted Brexit: the greatest economic damage of a generation


I’m no fan of Blair at all but he did a lot of good for this country.

Took a country to war on his own beliefs not facts. Which if i’m not mistaken flies in the face of everything you preach here.
A tad hypocritical.

 

[securespark]

Not hypocritical.

I marched against Blair concerning the war. But he did do great things in many other areas.

But since the Tories have been in, I haven't seen much to celebrate.

"Weapons of mass destruction"..........

 

[Munroast]

Big fan of tony - best leader in my life time, wish he could take over the reigns from the currant buffoon.

I still thing he was right to go into iraq, Saddam needed a good kicking, and after all it was saddam who kept telling the world he had weapons of mass destruction - we only took him at his word. Pity we sent troops in, we should have just nuked the place.

Then brought in 10 million grasping foreigners to make us all correspondingly poorer.

I hear the U Turn Tories are thinking of relaxing their own harmful immigration rules to allow more people in from India etc. Obvs not enough foreigners here.

Thought all you labour supporters say that blair was a tory in disguise
He certainly helped the housing crisis in the middle east by being responsible for the millions in population reduction and i wonder how many ex service personnel are living on the streets as a result of their heads now being mince because of him
And a good labour man, multi millionaire on the backs of others suffering

I suspect that TB was the only non-Conservative to have started a war.
I am including Whigs and Tories as more or less the same political creed.
The major difference being the support or opposition of the landed gentry (Royalty) to influence in Parliament.
