I don't bother having emotions for people I dislike as it takes too much effort that could be spent on something pleasurable, but I'm willing to invest considerable resources towards hating Blair and his wife.

I read that same article this morning - quite depressing.

This doesn't surprise me, or even depress me anymore. What does depress me is people still believing that there was a justifiable reason for the UK to get involved in the Iraq and Afghan conflicts. Enriching politicians and their friends was not a justifiable reason.

Perfect summation.

"an extraordinary confusion of public duty and private interest."

Agreed.

As is often said "follow the money"

That is very sound judgment IMO.

Ah but of course he will be giving it all away, after all, he's a socialist......

I suppose I'm lucky in that I appear to have a natural talent in this respect...

why? it is no different from any of us using our networks in a current job to make it work in a different job or new business venture? he is smart enough to quit when the going was good.....leave the garbage for El gordo...and carry on making money for himself. It exposes a lot...but no different to any successful person in the real world. Only the scale is bigger, the networks more sensational.

So you don't see the hypocrisy of a man who took us to war with Iraq now being 'Middle East Peace Envoy'?.

The problem is that his "networking" and long term career ambitions cost the UK several £bn and the lives of several hundred soldiers. Complete scum.

[Puggit]

There is a reason that Blair and Brown concocted to remove the crime of treason.

Ohh yes I see that.....but that needs to be addressed by a legal prosecution. If we can not do that...then we cannot blame him for exploiting his chances.


the real culprits are us....for giving him the sainthood when we all knew he was a tt! We need to be caned so we never do this again. Dont hate the playa...hate the game!

Im with Bobby. Id be doing exactly the same as Blair in his position.

"Middle East Peace Envoy" ? Gimme a break, its a non-job, but a golden opportunity to make money. Id be taking "The Quartet", JP Morgan, Zurich Finance and the Kuwaitis for as much dosh as I could ferret from their pockets.

Indeed, although I do question our "Democratic" system when I read stuff such as this.
Deciding that it is not much diifferent from a past of Robber Barons.
