Tony Blair Says Britain's Eu Exit Can Be Stopped

[naomi24]

//Mr Blair, speaking to the New Statesman, said the single market would be the key issue in the negotiations, and that securing maximum access would mean accepting fewer restrictions on immigration, paying into the EU budget and accepting the jurisdiction of European judges.//

Precisely the reasons that Leavers voted ‘Leave’! Tony Blair penchant for holding the views of the electorate in contempt remains – and by all accounts he’s on his way back on to the British political scene. Will you welcome him?

jno - //perhaps the fact that - unlike the armchair heroes of AB - they have actually had experience running a country? //

The fact that they may have once been in a position of power makes them loathe to admit that they are no longer relevant.

But just because someone has done something does not preclude the rest of us from having, and expressing an opinion about it - I can't dance a jive, but I have an opinion on how Ed Balls does it, and so do millions of other people.

I am a voter, and that is all I need to be to have an opinion on any politician - and I have, and I have expressed it. the fact that I have not been a Prime Minister does not mean that my opinion is wrong.

She hasn't said, but I'm guessing jno will welcome Tony Blair back.

Well, that hardens opinion against staying in then. I am reminded of Henry II
and his request about a 'turbulent priest'; where is Shoota these days by the way?

It's like a horror story; one might say it's the sequel to the Blair Witch Project o:(
