Send this war criminal to jail
The only crime there was over Iraq was not finishing the job off properly first time round - I don't care what the UN said, we should've taken Saddam out when we had the chance!
He was suckered into the Iraq war by GW Bush and his gang of venal, military industrial complex fanatics. It badly tarnished his legacy.
Yawn. Irrelevant. This isn’t about Iraq.

Why isn't this man behind bars?

From an outside perspective I agree with other dude, Blair was popular, Iraq was fucked tho, but I can see if he were a skilled domestic politician, him making a mistake on foreign policy.
@@SlowhandGreg He did it with debt.
No! I wasn't even here during his premiership but no one can match the selfish tory beasts for that honour.
Send him to jail!! Along with Bush!!

And Aznar
You do know that someone has to be convicted before you can do that?
Well, if you like it or not, he's absolutely right about UK and EU.
to punish blair would be stupid as the whole of parliament decided to declare war he didn’t use his perogative
Jail him
Tony Blair should be in Prison and anything he says should be ignored
He should be put on trial, however, what he says here is the objective truth and we should take note.
Since when have you people given a crap about Islamic lives?
The smug look on his face when he explains things is evil
That's not snugness that is confidence!.
What he said wasn't wrong though
@@20quid Possibly the most effective politician the modern UK has seen yet he has been demonised by many there and this unjustified view towards him is unfortunately reflective of the state the UK has allowed itself develop into.

Isn't it about time that Blair was arrested and sent for trial to the Haag?
Yes for sure
Lock him up and throw away the key . Or better yet drop him off in the middle of Iraq
Best advice ever
i would happily contribute to the price of doing it.
Go away Blair!

Why isn’t this criminal in jail ?
Because he hasn't been convicted of a crime
He is not from Africa or Eastern Europe.... too many Western criminals ,to list here, roaming free ..
@Inkyminkyzizwoz That's because he's protected by his elite chums, not because he's not guilty of war crimes. Chilcott, who headed the inquiry, was barred from making any verdict against bLiar. In his summary, Chilcot stated that the whole thing was 'inadequate' in the planning and execution. Chilcot went on to say that bLiar had not 'exhausted all other alternatives to war' - that's a war crime, whether you like it or not. bLiar also incriminated himself in his (disgraceful) book. Asked if the invasion of Iraq would have been stopped if parliament had voted against it, he replied 'No, I would have found another way'. bLiar should have been hanged until dead, which was why he went out of his way to end the death penalty for Treason. He knew exactly what he was doing & had done...

Yes all started with him
@@tonycruzman162in what way?
@@indibhart5731it is a bit more nuanced than that. Blair and Brown were good at the start when they continued the successful policies of Major which had set the country on the right path. But as time went on and Blair focused on military adventures Brown started to duff up the economy. This meant that having taken power when things were on the right path, they left a big mess for the Tories to clean up in 2010. The Tories then proceeded to create their own mess with the shambles of Brexit and the disaster of Johnson. I don’t envy Starmer taking power with a super majority.
Britain should sit alone and let every other country get on with it.
Problem is Britain’s didn’t leave any country alone!
He started the East European immigration tsunami.
The Clinton’s started that when they took out gadaffi. He bragged to the UN that if he was ever touched, Europe would turn black, America killed him just after that.
And then Brexit started a Nigeria, India tsunami. What a win! You must be thrilled those terrible Eastern-Europeans are gone and are now earning money in their own native country. Win - win.
Nothing wrong with the Eastern Europeans tbf
... and introduced P.F.I., loading hundreds of millions of debt onto the economy.
The immigrants were mainly from Central Europe, and they are going back home.
10 times worse than Boris ever was, but the media have always given Sir Tony Blair an easy ride 😂

@@karlosthejackel69
The world is certainly in the process of realigning. It always is.
The first real period of ‘globalisation’ was the British Empire, then it was the American Empire.
Soon, hegemony will have to be shared. The Americans will remain in situ but will have to share with China (obviously) and the India. A powerful, united Europe could conceivably occupy a fourth spot at the table.
Those four - +Russia - will be the five seated at the UN Security Council table in the Global Chamber.
We just have to adapt as best we can and prepare. For instance, my two sons are learning Mandarin. And our country is not short of either Hindi speakers and Indian goodwill.
Pipeline? Don’t give a monkeys who did it. Don’t know who did it and neither do you.
We WILL be rejoining Europe within the next fifteen years, by the way, whether you like it or not. I’d like it to happen for the sake of the young but ultimately, I’ll be pushing up the daisies.
Pip pip
How’s Brexit going?
As somebody who voted for Brexit and would have no hesitation in doing so again I have noticed no difference whatsoever. There have been external factors which have changed things such as COVID and the war in Ukraine. But old Blighty is still old Blighty.

He needs to shut his gob
The biggest Blight upon humanity !
He's right
Andrew Bailey, Governor of the Bank of England admitted that claims made during the negotiations after the referendum - about the UK economy crashing because of Brexit and people being poorer as a result - were all wrong.
He said: "If you go back to the period after the referendum, there were pretty dire predictions about the consequences of Brexit for the financial services world, for the City of London. And I think so far those effects have been smaller.”
Brexiteers knew this all along !
Uk business has been unnecessarily damaged by Brexit. That’s fact.
He is literally the reason for every single problem we have in the UK today. Every single one.
Blair the war criminal. This man should be I jail
I dont buy this argument. Norway and Switzerland both operate successfully outside the EU, we are not alone in being a wealthy country without EU membership.
Absolutely.
Norway is in Efta-yu stiffed them before-thwey will not accept you back in, Switzerland is in the middle of the EU and has special trade deals/ has to adhere to EU rules. You simply are either uninformed or the arguments are consciously insidious.
Neither country has EU membership. And could you please learn to type correctly?
They both have great standards of living too.. this country doesn’t anymore
Norway and Switzerland have associate membership of the EU and enjoy far better trade arrangements with the EU than the UK, Norway and Switzerland are nimble sophisticated productive modern economies and both show consistent growth, the UK economy is unproductive with little or no growth and rests on the laurels of it's legacy. Norway and Switzerland are twice as wealthy as the UK in relative terms so comparing the UK to these countries is naive furthermore Norway will ultimately join the EU and it is possible that Switzerland will do so also.

As a European, we need a free and independent UK just in case our experiment goes wrong. Britain has never failed the cause of freedom, and we know it can be strong on its own. The UK should create strong relations with other commonwealth nations and attempt to create an economic Union of free movement of people and goods among commonwealth nations.
You missed the point in brexit entirely. It was all about immigration. Now people from commonwealth countries are comming to the UK in rubber dingis. They are called illegal immigrants, blamed for every misfortune and missmanagement, and abused as an instrument in political debate. The common"wealth" are the states the UK stole from. Think again.
1900 has passed some time ago and there is nothing left of the commonwealth. Basically England now is the poor land of that commonwealth. Or commonpoverty, to be accurate.
@user-kn6et8bb2d If the UK can be completely free of the wretched EU, it'll bloom stupendously regardless, but not while they can still steal fish from British territorial waters, latching and poncing on Britain in many ways
One of the best PMs we ever had. That's why the British people elected his government 3 times. The US would have gone into Iraq with or without Blair's backing. So the war would have happened anyway. Those Blair years in the UK were a darn sight better than the miserable rotten Tory governments we've all suffered under these last 13 years that's for sure.
Blood on this rich man’s hands. He has no authority to lecture anyone. Lowest of the low.
