I absolutely fucking loathe Tony Blair with every fibre of my being. I honestly do not possess a sufficient lexicon to describe the intensity of my hatred for that escutcheon on the face of humanity.
I remember when I was a kid, photos of him and John Major came up on the television and I asked "Who are those men?" When I heard they were competing to be the leader of the country, I pointed at John Major and said "I hope he wins."
How fucking right I was.
Under 'New Labour' we got
>Privatization of the NHS under the PFI scheme
>Selling the gold reserves at market bottom prices in an amateur mistake a 1st year economics student wouldn't make
>Opening the doors to unrestricted unskilled migrants in 2004 to deliberately rub the Right's face in multiculturalism and to import state-dependent voters
>Creating a revolving door between corporate lobbyists and government
>Destroying University education
>Scandalous levels of bribery
And that's just what I remember off the top of my head.
Of course, he wasn't alone. Thanks to the efforts of his spin doctor, Alistair Campbell, 'Teflon Tony' was untouchable. In his 1st year as Prime Minister, there was a story about his accepting a bribe in exchange for a Government contract. What should have ended the career of any other politician didn't even phase him. Oh, and there was Peter Mandelson as well - resigned twice for corruption and rewarded with a peerage for towing the line.
20 years of Blair

And let's not forget deliberately lying to Parliament about 45 minutes and chemical weapons before taking us to an illegal war in Iraq which left 179 British soldiers and over 500,000 Iraqis dead. All for oil reserves and regime change.
And in what I can only describe as the sickest joke in human history, he went on to become the Middle East Peace Envoy. What other proof do you need that democracy is a failure and our species is completely and utterly fucked?
Of course nothing can be done about it. All of his residences and properties are guarded by armed security 24/7.
And the worst, absolute worst part of it is that yesterday on LBC, people were calling in and saying that, my God, they would vote for him again if he were to run for office again despite his being a War Criminal.
If that happened, I would move to Alaska, build a cabin in the woods and fuck off civilization completely
Hear hear friend. He's as evil as it gets. I hear he got funds from CIA to hijack Labour, similar thing they did to Dems in US. He always had hi level protection and funds and acted as untouchable. whats worse is he destroyed the only significant opposition party from within.
Well he obviously acted in collusion with the US at every stage of the process. I remember him being referred to as George Bush's lieutenant on multiple occasions.
Obviously I'd like to see him brought up on charges as well but Burgerland is pretty protective of its former presidents.
here's a redpill for you:

Also, someone told me they know first hand a victim of mental programming (MKULTRA) slave who was handled by Blair. Complete with all the child murders and rapes that entails. So the guy is as close to evil as we get to see on TV. Scary shit
It's sickening that he still operates
Still, it's a testament to our complete and utter failure of morality as a civilization. Money is king and if you've got enough you can do whatever the hell you want. Genocide, war, torture, all of it.
Vote Labour so Corbyn wins. All we got at the minute.
Honestly, I don't see that there's much point. They're all as bad as each other.
On the one hand, I think that I should vote because I owe it to the people who went before me and died so could enjoy the privilege. But on the other, it's endorsing.....hell, I don't know what to call it. A nepotistic oligarchy masquerading as a democracy, I guess. And I don't want any part of that.
Corbyn is all we've got, which is why they're attacking him so hard in the media. He's a pillar of integrity and a little bit of hope. If he's ousted I am out of politics, it's all lost.
I understand your cynicism, it's fucking bitter innit
Well, what's it like there in the Netherlands? Is it equally as grim or are there still glimmers of hope?
Im in UK
All that wibbling over democracy and where does he turn up? Running PR for an ex Soviet Party Boss turned President-for-Life in Kazakhstan.
That information was one of the things that killed my idealism.
Then you know how bad it is.
You know, they say that inside every cynic is a dead idealist. How right that is.
Blair is to blame for the large amounts of students going to university with large debts, I'm thankfully glad I never went since throughout my years of secondary schooling under Nue Labour I kept hearing "IF YA DON'T GAH TEE YOONI YA'LL HAVE A SHITE LIFE" drilled into us over and over again.
the worse is seeing kids on the freest corner of internet voting for May who is of the party that wants to kill (and started to) internet freedoms
Corbyn is scum.
My parents fell for that meme and drove me into it. Luckily I didn't stay for the whole course so aren't in an enormous amount of debt.
And yeah fuck Blair. Almost as bad a PM as warmonger Churchill.
Agreed
Blair is scum of the earth
brainwashed poppet
Blair is a neoliberal shill, a Tory lite politician.
To sweep away neoliberalism in this country we need a politician who hold real socialist values. We need to vote for Corbyn in the upcoming election
We hate him here too m8, he was fully supporting bombing us to help subhuman muslim albanians. They love him so much they name kids by his name lulz.
Google 'Tonibler' and look on wikipedia.
Don't remind me. Over and over and over with the Uni line. And what does it actually get you now? £27,000 worth of debt and a piece of paper that gives you absolutely no advantage in the job market over the thousands of others who have them
To be fair, they all want to. At least in the US it's guaranteed in the 1st Amendment but nobody in Europe has that, hence the constant 're-interpretations' and censuring of anything that constitutes 'hate speech.'
>Churchill
>warmonger
....................................................................Nah, too easy
I really hate him too. When I was a young kid despite knowing nothing about politics I always liked Michael Howard more for some reason.
>I honestly do not possess a sufficient lexicon to describe the intensity of my hatred for that escutcheon on the face of humanity
Well yes, that much is obvious.
Churchill pushed hard for war at every instance he could. He then destroyed the empire to save communism.
>We need a politician who hold real socialist values
My dad likes Blair, Muh minimum wage.
Minimum wage keeps pay low Imo
How does he keep getting away with it?
Also sorry to tell you, but because of all your shitty politicians and your posturing with America all over the world the Anglo is disliked for his policies. Too bad the only guy I know of that was likeable never had full power in the UK - Enoch Powell. Isolationist, conservative, nationalists FTW.
There's only one good 'Blair'... and she's a trap.
Get fucked toothpaste.
Destroy Labour. If we can cause them to implode, which they probably will after a loss as Corbynites and Blarites will cause a massive split when Corbin inevitably doesn't resign, then there will be the possibility for a new right wing opposition party to form. Remember UKIP got 3rd largest vote share last time round.
If you live in a Labour safe seat vote Lib Dem. if you live in a Tory safe seat vote UKIP. Any marginals vote Tory.
The leftist tears will be delicious.
>if you live in a Tory safe seat vote UKIP.
I do, but why? Ukip stand no chance here.
Corbyn is a horrible lying bastard like the rest of them. May as well vote conservative as right wing economic policies will be better at keeping foreign investment ect in a post Brexit Britain.
>Remember UKIP got 3rd largest vote share last time round.
Honestly, it's impossible to imagine the Lib Dems ever recovering after showing their true colous during the Coalition
>Corbyn is a horrible lying bastard
Worse than that. He's a Trotskyist
Exactly, he'd probably put us in a gulag for even looking at this site
Shit, when the Tories and Labour both want to lock us up for this you know shit's fucked
