  1. It is almost impossible to have a rational debate around something that happened 13 years ago because most of us have selective memories as well as hindsight bias The Guardian has a good piece https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/jul/05/tony-blair-iraq-war-chilcot
  2. Ref clearly a homer
  3. I think thats over dramatising it Blair played a big part in ending the conflict in Kosovo (saving thousands of Muslim lives) and probably thought he could do the same elsewhere
  4. Devolved power to the Scottish Parliament Introduced National Minimum wage
  5. Controversial but with the exception of the Iraq war i still like Tony Blair's time of Government regardless. He did a lot of good things (Please note the exception bit)
  6. The Iraq war was clearly engineered after the UN refused to give backing Engineering the Islamic Civil war that we are seeing now is debatable - i apologise for saying nonsense never mind not using IMO after saying it. Its undeniable that the West has been despicably playing Iraq and Iran against each other since the 60s but some blame must fall on the political and religious ongoings in these countries too - not forgetting Saudia Arabia.
  7. 2. Yep - unless you want to defend tyranny 3. Invading other countries can result in an uprising against the invader yes but civil war of this type ? What we are seeing is a war within Islam What does it say about us when the argument that the only way that this war could have been kept under wraps was to keep Saddam in power is used ? There is far more to the current situation in the middle east than the duplicity of Blair and Bush.
  8. 2. Clearly you dont know the history of the Saddam regime 3. Nonsense
  9. 1. There were no WMD of the type (Nuclear) that the West said existed. 2. That being said getting rid of Saddam Hussein was a good idea 3. Albeit a good idea nobody foresaw that after Saddam was ousted that a large proportion of Iraqis would start killing each other 4. In hindsight someone should have thought about 3
  10. Not to mention the complete subterfuge by the Tory party and the MSM that we will have to endure in the months ahead
  11. On one hand yes - on the other no. Davey Cameron continuing to be PM and the Tories retaining power was what this was all about so in that sense the manifesto bluff was worth it. It is all one big charade Surely everyone can now see that we are not going to leave the EU And our Democracy has always been a sham
  12. Not really We dont have a referendum on whether we go to war for example - Politicians have made decisions without asking the public that have cost this country millions of lives. We also dont have a referendum on the death penalty either - for good reason We elect politicians to work for us and make the decisions It should go through Parliament and once defeated have a General Election Any party can stand on leaving the UK as their manifesto
  13. She was on radio and TV during the Scottish referendum A total bitter harpie of the highest order that detests the SNP
  14. Appears Brexit is going to need parliamentary approval meaning a vote and the likelihood of the referendum being ignored http://www.mishcon.com/news/firm_news/article_50_process_on_brexit_faces_legal_challenge_to_ensure_parliamentary_involvement_07_2016
  15. Germany will probably play better without Gomez
  16. There is also the small matter of the beardy homophobe not being able to vote on English only matters as he is a Welsh MP
