BLAIR, his latest intervention. Should he shut up ?
Discussion
Tony Blair Institute carries out a poll on leave/remain.
Doesn't like result, so massages the numbers!

Thanks to all those who’ve gotten in touch to let us know our Facebook poll has been hijacked. Not trolls but #naughtynigel
However, he forgot to ask people to hijack our Twitter poll, which shows a genuine 81% of people would rather stay in the EU and think again #oops

should have been sent to the gallows years ago.I heard him interviewed on Radio 4 about his latest "intervention" the other day. He kept stating that if the EU changed the rules on immigration, the UK would be happy to stay in the EU. It seemed to again prove his arrogant, "I know what's best for people" attitude - most people who voted for Brexit that I have spoken to saw it as a question of parliamentary sovereignty, not immigration.

The Liar is still claiming a Reformed EU is possible.
His only involvement in Europe I want to see is his trial at the Hague.
The only reform the EU care about is more power to the EU. The fact that the people of the UK have never given approval to that loss of power escapes them. His only involvement in Europe I want to see is his trial at the Hague.
Alternatively we could grow up, recognise that he isn't a cartoon character, but an extremely experienced politician both domestically and on the international stage. You don't have to have agreed with all of his politics to recognise that his views are worth thinking about. The same goes for John Major. If she were still around, we'd do the same for Thatch.

We are talking about ex PM Tony Blair (not sure who you are referring to in the above) .

John Major has lost any residual credibility for me by getting into bed with Blair.
He can have his views on Europe, fine, but joining forces with that criminal is a step too far in my opinion.
Perhaps if people like John Major had actually considered public engagement/consultation rather than signing wide reaching EU constitutions without a referendum then we wouldn't be where we are.He can have his views on Europe, fine, but joining forces with that criminal is a step too far in my opinion.
People like him, Blair and Brown thought that they were putting their names in the history books with their beloved EU integrations but what they were actually doing was helping to so the seeds of Brexit.

Unfortunately, most of us probably feel that Blair has had a nervous breakdown, or a brain transplant, at some point since he was ever worth listening to.
