jackdaw, yes indeed.

[emmie]

undamaged, hardly....

[emmie]

history will tell the story on his premiership. His stance or lack of on immigration won't go down well.

[naomi24]

emmie, oh, I don't know. He's not done too badly for himself since he went.

[emmie]

i don;t mean on a personal level, he has done very well for himself in that regards.

The difficulty with any discussion on here about Blair, is that our right-wingers on AB, a majority lets not forget, cannot bring themselves to admit how popular Labour was from 1997, to 2010. In 2015, 9,347,304 people still voted Labour.

Its up to me and the few active left-wingers, to point some historical facts, facts that others find a little to inconvenient to acknowledge. The 1997-010 years are in danger of being airbrushed from our collective memories.

You're just typing stuff, mikey.


''Does Blair Have Any Credibility Left''


Is the question emmie posted ... well?

[emmie]

he wants a second referendum on Brexit, what's not to like, yawn..

//"Blair was voted in three times!" - yep, by people like gulliver! enough said.//

If you don't believe the majority can make the right decision, why do you keep getting annoyed when some don't want to listen to the majority?

[mikey4444]

Talbot....yes, just typing stuff....just everybody else, including you !

If you want an answer to Emmies question, then yes, history will say that Blair does have some credibility left.

[-Talbot-]

I voted for him but didn't see any great change and in hindsight his premiership has left a toxic taste in my mouth. I don't want to see his stupid grinning face on my TV because imo Blair Doesn't Have Any Credibility Left

.

[mikey4444]

Emmmie....Blair is not the only one to want a second Ref......and I don't agree with him, if that helps, and I voted to stay !

[emmie]

i don't think many have looked at the link.......

[mikey4444]

Talbot....very interesting ! How many times did you vote Labour....just the once in 1997, or again afterwards ?

You don't have to answer that if your would prefer not to.

[emmie]

i voted out, as perhaps you have guessed.

[mikey4444]

Many people did Emmie ! ....its not a crime !

"The 1997-010 years are in danger of being airbrushed from our collective memories."

There's no danger of them being airbrushed from my memory, Mikey - unfortunately.

[mikey4444]

NJ...then I take it you would have been prepared to accept another 5 years of the shambles that would have resulted if Major were to have suddenly found a few hundred seats from somewhere in 1997......remember he only managed to get 165 !

Blair's mantra was Education, Education, Education - wonder what happened there, so many promises broken, even by a Labour politician =

Saint Tony slaughtered all the sacred cows of old Labour and became Tories MkII.
