Tony Blair is Labour’s most electorally successful prime minister, but his legacy has been the source of bitter rows ever since he left office. Now he is back, and making a series of impassioned interventions on Brexit.
I have always liked him, even when I disagree with him.
Once a Criminal always a Criminal!!!
No remorse, no excuses - no rehabilitation
Rehabilitation usually comes AFTER a prison sentence. I'm still waiting for him to appear at The Hague charged with war crimes. The ethics-deficit Guardian sinks lower by the day.
Really? Is he going to bring the people he sent to die back to life? Or is he going to stop advising despots while claiming to run a good governance foundation based on religious principles? The guy is a hypocrite and a charlatan. I don’t think that’s going to change anytime soon
No thanks. War criminal who get rich helping dictators suppress human rights. Evil man.
Just one more political charlatan at the party.
Nah
He will never realise his own irrelevance. Lost cause.
No. He has always had a band of loyal blairites, including a lot in the media. But the general public will never forgive him for the Iraq War. Additionally I will never forgive him for his constant undermining of jeremycorbyn and the UKLabour
War criminal,Tony Blair is the last person you could trust.
Hi Tony. Eat this..
Just in time to declare war on Iran?
The spiteful grudge bearing hatred of far left-wing politics, is precisely why I despise The Corbynite cultists as much as Boris Johnson
No. When Brexit is delivered, he will crawl back into his hole...
Doon he can serve Boris as a consultant on how to join a useless war that your population doesn't want.
Good luck with that.
When is the Guardian going to shut up about Tony Blair?
Idiot.
Rehabilitation? So he was off his tits during his tenure?
The best rehabilitation for Tony Blair, (GW Bush & John Howard) is to send them to trial for the WMDs lies & the subsequent deaths of millions of Iraqis.
No. Not for the man who sold his soul for oil profiteering
Unlike the right wing, who would sell their own mother and lie to their family for power, the left never forgive, and never forget. What a betrayal of the UK and it’s armed services.
The problem for Tony Blair is that people were misled into backing his illegal war. Nobody likes being conned but isn’t it easier to blame the conman rather than admit a failure to do due diligence on one’s own part? I did which is why I protested from the start. Did you?
Hey, he's the national advisor of Serbia's president
The guy who knew he was lying about WMD in Irak getting back his reputation ? I’ll believe in unicorns before that happens
As much as the left-wing media would like that, evidenced by them constantly giving giving him a platform... toxic Tony is in no way on the road to redemption.
blair meat on yesterday's hook , eternal life is available thru Jesus everyone invited
Aided by the Guardian of course
no
Place tony on the bench of a military tribunal!
Another war criminal to be rehabilitated?
If Joe Biden can be rehabilitated, despite voting for war with Iraq and making it near impossible to declare personal bankruptcy, why not Tony Blair? Compared to Boris Johnson and Trump, they now appear to be world historic statesmen. Q. Can our standards get any lower? A. Yes.
only if that rehabilitation centre is the fucking Hague
Until he acknowledges his error, I don't see how that's possible. Events have proven him wrong & backwards on nearly every occasion. I mean, even Pope Benedict burned him, & with good cause.
Funny thing is that so many will get riled up for somebody saying a naughty word
Blair is a demon of British politics. Margaret Thatcher referred to him as her best achievement, which says it all.
Ummmm NOPE
I don't think he can ever be rehabilitated, however, he's bang on the money vis-à-vis brexshit
HisLiterallyBloodyLegacy
No. Never
I mean...an apology about Iraq wouldn’t hurt
HES THE IDIOT WHO SAID WEAPONS OF MASS DISTRACTION IN A APEECH AND HAD THOUSANDDS OF AMAZING BRITISH MEN WOMEN MURDERED FOR HIS TAX FREE BIZ WITH RETARDES GUPF ARABS I GIVE IT TO YOU FROM THE END
In a Fair World system, he should be in jail for Crimes against Humanity in Iraq; paying fines from his Arab Oil consultation money for the British soldiers who fell during this war, giving lectures -not for money- about how not to mix Islamophobia with politics
Thousands of deaths and profiting from the oil sales isnt really something you can come back from
Never
no
Better to take us into an illegal war with a liberal use of inventive thinking than allowing the UK to leave a trading bloc via democratic means.
