I can't think of a more loathsome, self-centred and ego driven individual. It also says little for Macron.

That’s no surprise. He always cared more about his place in the scheme of things rather than his Country’s.

Just like all of them, self interested, egotistical, megalomaniacs.
As Billy Connolly said many years ago, "Nobody who actually wants to be a politician should be allowed to be one!"

Not quite sure how that would work out, but you get the gist. smile

It is, but not for the first time for this file odious creature.

Funny how he scrapped it...

Ha! I actually watched Billy in concert saying that very thing along with “Don’t vote! It only encourages the bds!”

Changed his tune recently though; although he’s an ex pat, living in the USA, though owning property in Scotland and elsewhere he called the decision of the referendum ‘a crime bordering on a sin’ based purely on his fear that it may lead to the break up of Europe.

Seemingly oblivious to the damage that’s been done to millions in many Countries, including the UK, by the EU and the respective governments.

I guess it’s OK if you’re a very wealthy ex-pat living at the other side of the planet.

I'd go out on a limb and say I believe he did what needed to be done in March 2003.

I'm a little bit confused by Blairs stance on Europe.

In 1983 he campaigned to leave the EEC or at least have a referendum on the subject. He claims to be a huge Europhile and lover of all things EU and wanted us to join the Euro.....yet during his whole tenure he cosied up to the US and GWB putting a huge emphasis on the special relationship.
Despite protestations he then completely ignored the EU/commission and went to war in Iraq with the Americans?

We've been stuffed at Eurovision ever since! hehe

I reckon you may be onto something there.

He was on telly earlier, and if you really concentrate, and focus on him and what he says, you can just about spot that he really is a massive

Very early in his career, I can remember thinking "I suspect this guy has a touch of the about him". It's fair to say I still have my suspicions.

He made the absolute gargantuan error of trusting our ‘ally’. The USA.

How does someone in his position and with his reputation not have the self awareness to think to themselves.

"Actually, I've done pretty well for myself. It would probably be best if I just keep out of this one and spend the rest of my days quietly enjoying life"

He just can't stop himself. It's got to be some sort of mental illness. I mean what possesses him to get up each morning, dress up in some godawful suit and drag himself down to a radio or TV studio just to confirm to the world that he is indeed one of the most narcissistic pillocks ever to draw breath.

Tony, we don't care what you think any more. Take up fishing or something, FFS

He reminds me of Les Mcqueen from the League of Gentlemen. A sad has been who never was
