Do we want another dose of Blair in UK politics?
Discussion
Once a toadweasel, always a toadweasel.
"A source close to Mr Blair said: ‘He wants to re-engage in the UK. He has things to say and he thinks it’s the right time.' "
"He has even hired a communications advisor to help him 're-engage' with the UK. That is classic Blair. Rather than hiring a spin-doctor to re-engage, why not just re-engage?"
He needs to head off to the retirement home for ex-snake oil salesmen, by which I don't mean the House of Lords, or the EU for that matter.

Oh it was bound to happen as sickening as the thought is. Imagine the grin when Gordon gets a seat. He saved the country world after all.
Like the muppets in Oz who after a night on the piss, kidnapped a penguin from the zoo, I'd quite like to see some merry drunks kidnap BLiar & leave him naked, gagged & handcuffed, in Parliament Square, whereupon an enterprising type would sell rotten fruit at a pound a pop for the lobbing of. One can hope.

Of course there is! That's why we got Bliar, and why we currently have Bliar2.k did we do wrong?What did we do wrong?
We didn't go for the sea change. Perhaps we will next time... if it isn't too late.

Erm, the Tories made themselves unelectable not just once, but multiple times... That's why we ended up with Bliar. Anyone thinking the Tories won't make themselves unelectable this time round too is living in a fk did we do wrong?king bubble, quite frankly.I say that with my own hatred for Bliar/Clown running high too.
Removing the spin and bks from this:
Blair’s blood money lecture tour seems to be slowing down; all the companies that benefited from his illegal and immoral wars have paid him off over the past 5 years.
What better way to offset some of the decreasing “lecture” income, than with a part time, highly paid job, that will also increase his visibility on both the local and global political stage.
Makes perfect sense, why he wants to do it and if I were a megalomaniacal, blood thirsty traitor, it's what I'd do. . . . . It's also why he needs to be dangling from his neck, on a rope, by traitors gate, before he gets the chance to screw the country over again

He should be in the Hague as far as I am concerned.

Good to see a professional career politician back in the game, no pasties would stick to Tony's teflon suit.
I can't really say the government of the moment is even a step forward from the Blair years to be honest. He'll slip right back into politics.
There may have been an element of tongue in cheek there, given Bliar is a snake oil salesman per excellence and you mention he would 'slip right back' into UK politics. I can't really say the government of the moment is even a step forward from the Blair years to be honest. He'll slip right back into politics.
However, possible humour aside, this country needs competent managers and competent governance, not a competent and indeed accomplished shyster coming back to slither and spin like a top for a second go at bankrupting the country on the back of bankrupt ideology.

You and a helluva lot of others.He should be in the Hague as far as I am concerned.
I'm glad that Blair is not held in esteem by the British public because his legacy really mattered to him while in office and he's remembered as a self-serving liar who still hasn't admitted what everyone knows about the run-up to the Iraq war.
I'd honestly prefer Brown to be in the Lords. At least he's a deep thinker who generally keeps himself to himself.

Fixed for you.I'd honestly prefer Brown to be in the Lords.
New Labour planned to sell the UK down the river with mass immigration and the creation of a dependent underclass which would ensure perpetual re-election.
They almost managed it.
Treason.

They did manage it, look at the opinion polls. They set the Conservatives up for a fall and the Conservatives obliged. They almost managed it.
