The only real arguement to have is whether he is a , a st, or a wker.

Or all, but a smart one.

Often said. If true, not in a good way.

To clarify for the umpteenth time Kelvin Mckenzie suggesting that Blair's chosen date for filing accounts is "suspect" is not evidence fact or anything other than tripe.

But you don't seem to understand, Tony Blair is is/still is a Champagne Socialist. Just LOOK at the WAD in his back pocket. A man who devoted his life to the Labour Party, the party of the common people.

G'wan, admit it, you think he's a as well..

I think as a person he left a lot to be desired. With regards to political views I don't think there was/is a huge gap between him and the current Tory party. In fact he's probably closer to Cameron than he was to Brown (politically speaking).

No st Sherlock, they are politicians.

Countdown said:

That doesn't mean that everything he now does must, by default, be dodgy or criminal though.

Hmm, don't think for a minute (sorry, shouldn't that be 45? ) WMD or the demise of Dr David Kelly is going to go away.

Countdown said:

It might well be but lets base any accusations on facts rather than media smoke and mirrors.

Ok then, I'm willing to give the treasonous fker the benefit of the doubt. From now on.

Everything? More irrelevant hyperbole. Not everything he does, just the bits in keeping with the odious nature of the individual.

Smoke and mirrors - nonsense. There are matters of substance to be addressed with Bliar Inc.

Giving so much of your important and valuable time over to discussing the merits of some words scribbled down by an offensive, low functioning spazmoidtodos the purpose of taking money off low functioning muppets.

You must be referring to Bliar and one of the apologists.

Realism over Bliar doesn't warrant any shame.

Oh yes nearly forgot

And there was of course a second motive for hiting the keyboard today, as it's a very good day for a PH 47th.

I'm on an iPhone as I threw my laptop across the room the other week. I can barely see the screen let alone a post count.

Blair the tax avoider.....the man is a total hypocrite.
Why is his tax avoidance not on the news more?

Compared to endless coverage of crusties and their attacks on corporates over tax paid, it's a very good question.

[Puggit]

I wonder how much tax Blair will pay on this tripled profits?

It's all so damn grubby.

Burgeoning global Blairism...it's about time the rest of the world was able to embrace Blairism.

Ah well I think this is fine because as a socialist he will no doubt be saving that tax money so he can make direct payments to the right poor people rather than allowing the Govt to give it away to the lazy/feckless....

He wouldn't be keeping it for himself....

Blair is many things, but never a socialist. New labour, whilst it might be same old crap, had little or nothing to do with socialism.

Out of interest how much money are "socialists" allowed to earn / keep?

Are you going to defend his right to avoid taxes too?

He is a politician -if the Tories had a vacancy when his time came, he would have joined them.

It's a very blurry line, I find myself categorised as a capitalist because I run a business, make profits and pay tax yet I have a mortgage and live quite carefully with very modest savings, Bliar on the other hand is classed rightly or wrongly as a socilaist and has many millions and avoids tax yet was leader of the Labour party, a party that was supposed to represent the common man.

No matter how you look at it it aint right that he could play everyone so well and then profit so handsomly from the network he built while supposedly representing our best interests.

Spot on. Hypocrite, him and Chereee CBE.

I'll give Brown his due, he is not making a mint on the back of high office, he remained an MP and although I disagree that he spends more time working for the UN than sitting in Parliament, at least it is unpaid UN work.
