Anti-Blair hysteria partly explains why we no longer have a credible opposition. It’s that kind of unthinking bandwagon stuff that caused Labour to elect a dangerous moron.

As opposed to voting Labour regardless, because that wouldn't be unthinking bandwagon stuff.

if Mr Blair hadn't gone along with Mr Bush and kept his distance whilst expressing sympathy perhaps things might be quite different.

Arguably he could have been supportive without doing what he did... allow use of UK bases in UK/Cyprus. Provide intelligence, etc... every thing short of boots on the ground. The outcome would have been the same, we would still have a "special relationship" and the British public would probably have accepted it more comfortably?

I’m not saying this is your point but it is often said that we painted a target on our backs to the Islamic terrorists by joining Dubyah in his money making scheme to invade Iraq. However the French have I believe suffered more attacks and more deaths through terrorism in the subsequent years to that foray, and they were dubbed the ‘cheese eating surrender monkeys’ at the time on account of their non-participation.

This is what it's come to, in The Guardian of all the papers.

He’ll still get 30% or more in the next General Election, assuming he survives until then.

We still seem to have ignored all the evidence that a substantial minority of the public is utterly immune to facts.

He supposedly avoided Glastonbury this year due to falling support amongst the young, so who knows!

My bet is he's gone by Xmas. I think 30% is very optimistic and there isn't a party who would work with them. Labour are screwed with him at the helm.

Wonder if that bint that did the sham report will have her peerage stripped.

She has gone awfully quiet hasn't she ?
Used to be a very vocal media fest politician. Very seldom heard now.

The frenchies have spent the last decade or so fighting a series of ghastly bush wars in north africa against Boko Haram and like-minded travellers, they were balls-deep in CMD's Libya escapade, and they have long had involvement in Syria and Algeria; plenty of material for the islamo-bullstters to ginger up some grievance politics from.

I think the SNP would work with him - in exchange for allowing a second independence referendum. The Lib Dems might offer outside support too in exchange for increased public spending and reversing Brexit. They’d call it a “progressive alliance” and tell their supporters they’re doing it to keep the evil Tories out.

I think either of those options are necessary if Labour are too take power. Neither will happen with Captain Intransigent in charge...

Just as you thought the spectre of a Labour administration couldn’t get any worse, along comes a prospective coalition of Labour and SNP. . . . . . . .

I do sometimes wonder if traditional anarchists practiced the purest politics.

Labour in bed with the SNP... , I know Politics is in a bad era just now but that stoops to new depths.

Isnt deceitful liars something we want to rid politics of rather than multiply them?

Pedantry, but it wouldn't multiply them, merely combine them...

And, look around at the present crop of deceitful liars. We are about to elect one as pm!!

I would have been 20 years ago, but not in the IndyRef/marxist current era.
