The Independent is now a completely Zionist owned , run and operated mouthpiece of the IDF and Israel, ANY criticism of Israel will get you banned from their online rag owned by the Russian and operated by Geordie Greg. The Independent is complicit in genocide by shutting down valid criticism
The many comments about Blair being a war criminal are correct but blaming him is targetting the wrong people. The stupid lazy English people allowed him to commit his crimes in their names. Even now they could crowd fund a prosecution to put him in prison. Look in the mirror. Did, or do you, support the war in Ukraine.? Did you allow your government to assist the massacre of the people in Gaza? It took the Palestinians themselves to use our courts to force the government to stop sending arms to Israel. Did you know that? If not you were complicit in the crime of genocide.
You should only come into power if you can change things for the better and improve peoples lives. I think Machiavelli nailed things on Leadership better than Tony.
Machiavelli was just a theorist and an observer. The Prince is a good read but it's only a blueprint if you want to rule like Lorenzo de Medici. Still, Lorenzo has nothing on Tone, one of the most venal and amoral politicians of the last 500 years, including You-Know-Who....
Before Blair, the workers in shops, pubs, clubs, restaurants, factories, on farms, building sites, etc. were British workers. Because of Blair, now most of those jobs have been taken by im migrants, that are in many cases living 5-10 per house! And working for ££ per hour lower than British workers would be able to live on!
And you'll find it was his wife advising private firms on cherry picking the NHS for it's most profitable assets. Blair belongs on the same plane of existence as Judas Escariot.
I’m assuming your solution to this is a very high minimum wage with incredibly harsh punishment for anyone violating that alongside much higher business taxes? Or….
Because most of the jobs that migrants do are only theirs to take because not enough local workers will do them. I should know. I use to work with them. Most local workers wouldn’t last a day.
@@HaydenS2024 We are all acutely aware he was surrounded by data that we were not privy to. His policies on Iraq, Afghanistan, deregulation of the banks, privatisation were all major disasters for the country. In particular his data regarding WMDs was falsified. I'm claiming his decisions were evil and self serving. Others are claiming he has a skewed world view (probably his support of rules based policy bs which is now falling apart) - nobody is saying he didn't know enough. Seriously, your comment is the worst I've ever read. We live in a democracy... that means we choose who represents us in government. It is obvious you are severely limited (to the point you are unable to think for yourself) if youre happy having politicians make decisions on your behalf go ahead but don't criticise others for critiquing the government.
He has been one of the worst, as italian I think that just for the fact he has surely inspired Matteo Renzi, he should be canceled, never more interviewed, disappear.
@@Mattsavage69 his grotesque neoliberal rules based ideology is coming apart at the seams: Economic stagflation, western backed genocide, deprivation, rise of far right, rising of "enemies' china and Russia who oppose the rules based system. He's back thinking he can fix things because he's a zealot who cant digest the fact that is ideas are garbage and have destroyed the west.
It is very hard to hear Blair talk about the fragility of the life , of his own parent (sympathy), plus how concerned he was about it, and then to try and reconcile that, with the death and destucuction that his own action's caused to so many other parent's and their children. How does that add up? I cannot make sense of this. Feel free to enlighten me.
One thing I do not like is men (or women for that matter), forcing their will over mine, especially when they are wrong! As an ex-board Director of a successful IT Company and a person who is a 'free thinker', I believe I am entitled to a view without being slapped down.
Blair Should have all his honour's revoked as well as his citizen ship due to all the death and destruction he caused not just in the middle east but all the soldiers lives that were taken, injuries suffered and the families who lost loved ones. In my opinion he is a Terrorist. UK definition "Terrorists use violence and threats of violence to influence the government or an international governmental organisation, or to intimidate the public" I think he fits that definition.
Yet another newspaper that I sent a 'sound byte' to, pointing out that if we changed too many of our traditional conservative 'Western Values' Putin wouldn't like it. I was right! It would also appear that I upset John Rentoul by telling the truth about Tony Blair. And it would now appear that I have come under the 'gaze' of Putin, making a change from being spied on by my own compatriots. Perhaps MI5 would now like to defend me!
very interesting remark on #Bureaucracy '' ideal in a crisis but an obstacle for change'' (paraphrased in my words) also about ''working in countries were a lot of work is to be done, and not in developed democracies'' (idem)
Ah the war criminal speaks. The fact this peace of human excrement hasn't been arrested is sickening. Not surprising mind you. I should be careful though im not sure if such things are allowed to be said of our great leaders under our lovely new stasi leader.
The title of his book should be - 'How I killed a million innocent people in Iraq in an illegal war.' The total devastation I left behind could be a sub-script.
Blair should be in prison for the rest of his life and sure got the ball rolling on the demise. But Cameron-Osborn are the real architects of our downfall.
@@MrDesmondPot That's true, but I think you could go back to Thatcher. That's where the rot set in. She said she regarded Blair as her, "greatest achievement"! Says it all...
he was susceptible to the exact same culture war rhetoric, and one assumes it wasnt all a one way street. he shifted things toward the center based on the same bs arguments, arguments he openly and willingly parroted. and became part of the attack on the state and our relationship with it. i have much to say about this person.
for a moment i could have sworn he said "private business doesn't appoint ppl with no experience, but democracy does" (sort of) its the little things isnt it.
Interesting interview. But re legacy ( as George Orwell wrote) ‘he who controls the past controls the future. He who controls the present controls the past’ I think it’s too simplistic to be blinded by hate as many are posting here. As, if you shout enough, you’ll not hear what someone is saying.
@ Thanks, some of what he said I thought was good and was being drowned out by hatred. Don’t get me wrong - the Middle East debacle was a mistake imo, but I’m sure he realises that now. I wouldn’t be a politician as you’re damned if you do ….., but the country can recover after a mistake. It won’t grow a leg back though. Post budget today and I think people can see how things will pan out over this term. I hope they succeed in growth but , we’ll see
I've only clicked on this to post and do not intend to listen to anything he has to say. This capitalist, who masqueraded as a class warrior, was recently photographed on a billionaire's yacht wearing a pair of £820.00 loafers. I have nothing against capitalism but everything against rank hypocrisy and he is the personification of the term. The damage he did to this country is incalculable and the way he sold his own country out by encouraging mass uncontrolled immigration for a few votes was despicable. 'Things can only get better' alright and they did but only for him and his family.
You’re not the only one. He did a lot of good for the UK; I have great respect for him. The comments are the usual suspects; unhinged and not as firmly in the majority as they think they are.
@@dreamer2260 you are right about him doing good things tho I can't lie and I don't like him solely because of the Iraq war If that didn't happen he would have been one of our best prime ministers
True leaders do not see themselves as leaders and do not gain obedience by force or backroom deals, true leaders inspire by their actions and in so doing they acquire disciples and are emulated. I think Blair's statement that you shouldn't go into politics unless you want to change things reveals all. He desires power, fame and a place in history so much he can taste it. This motivation has grossly blinded him to his very obvious shortcomings, I'm sure there would be a Jungian explanation for this. In truth he is a narcissist and a war criminal, but one that is sufficiently politically adept to be able to control even this narrative.
Won’t watch but I am assuming you didn’t ask him about his lies and war crimes? Stop trying to launder this man’s reputation. Nobody is going to buy it. Btw how is his obscenely wealthy landlord son?
