@@@Rayblondie . . . I believe Tony Blair never lost an election.

@@MubzxayStar Neither did Thatcher. In hindsight I think Tony Blair is a traitor to this country. I used to think he was alright but now he doesn't acknowledge democracy and some of the laws he passed had a corrupting influence on our country.

@@MubzxayStar He ran away to his war criminal Blair lair instead of fighting the 2010 election.

Macron is far from a social democrat dude cmon

@@sm7baller435 Only in the same sense that his mentor Tony Blair is far from a social democrat. Macron left the Socialist Party because he thought it had gone too far to the left and brought a number of Socialist deputies with him. It was a successful reply of what David Owen tried to do in the 1980s. Today, a group of Blairites have left Labour to set up Change UK.

@@nickd4310 change uk is boomer politics to the core , its the same old re vamp of the status quo with a few adjustments around the edges

@@sm7baller435 If you watched the video, Blair explains how social democratic parties like Labour and their politicians can win elections by moving to the centre. My point was that while that may work sometimes, as it did with Blair and Macron, if they do not improve people's lives, voters will abandon them.

@@avilahugo But before you put a regime down you need a replacement. That didn't happen and Iraq became a place of terror with thousands fleeing to Syria. The same has happened in Afghanistan.

@@Rayblondie What you suggest would be great. I'm genuinely not sure to what extent nation building without a period de-indoctrination would be successful. What I'm seeing in Afghanistan, the speed of the Taliban recapture of the levers of power, even after 20 years of occupation would suggest that those attempts are unlikely to be effective, not impossible I guess but, unlikely.

@@avilahugo We have seen the west crush power in other nations. However the power vacuum in Libya, Iraq and Afghanistan has always left room for something worse to come in. All I am saying is that we must learn from this.

@@Rayblondie It's a reasonable conclusion. I agree, a power vacuum was created and filled by extremists. The problem I see is that the strongmen in those societies are the guys that carry the most guns not those that win over the population with the best ideas. Until that's not the case sadly I think we're destined to trip over the same stone time and time again. There are bad guys in world, from time to time their power has to be checked, we don't have a consensus in the indigenous population, they just want to make ends meet, we go in, we leave and bad things rush in to fill the void.

@@sarfaraz.hosseini Tony Blair's mission was all about winning elections. It was not concerned with political achievement. I think he went to war with Iraq because he thought, probably wrongly, that there more to be had in war than in anti-war.

@@adampowell5376 He followed focus groups religiously, because he had no ideology. Polls show he was losing trust on the NHS? He went on an ill thought out spending spree.

Daniel Clark Clark shut your dumbass up

You are absolutely correct. This excuse for a man took this country into an illegal war where our soldiers lost their lives. He also got lots of innocent civilians killed in his quest for false Glory. He became the Puppet to George W Bush another criminal. He ignored Parliament and also his Defence Chiefs who advised against war. He thought he knew better as he did with everything else! A murdering Scumbag who now thinks he can dictate to this country what to do just because that is what he wants! He took this country to war on a total lie. Why he is given air space is beyond belief! If he were to die tomorrow that would be the very best thing he could do for this country he almost destroyed!

No Humbug - Because it’s the BBC! - the propaganda machine for the power house and it’s sycophants!

Because he is not, by any stretch of the imagination, a war criminal.

MrTMarshy - Perhaps technically not. But he and Bush are responsible for the wars. And therefore responsible for the cost both financial and lives. What more do you need to call this man a war criminal? Oh yes a technicality!

@@OMGAnotherday I would be very concerned about calling international law a mere 'technicality.' Is this not the great failing of our times: that people are happy to throw insults and make accusations based on their strong feelings, rather than on the facts of the matter (on both sides of the political divide)? So for example, we call the Conservative minister a 'Tory scumbag,' we label Jeremy Corbyn as a 'anti-semite,' and so on, when the truth is far less sensational in each case. In the case of Tony Blair, people simply don't like him because of his political views, because he's rich, because he's successful and so on (we Brits love to hate an unashamedly successful person). And the Iraq War was a catastrophe. But people turn all this into 'he's a war criminal.' I spent a year living in Kosovo immediately after the 1999 war. I saw war crimes in vivid technicolor: the deliberate, attempted extermination of a people group. Iraq is a different planet. If Iraq was a war crime (the deliberate removal of an aggressive dictator) then so was Operation Overlord, which we've been celebrating throughout Europe earlier this month. But of course it wasn't a war crime and neither was Iraq.

Exactly; the right has used this tactic to divide the working classes for decades, and probably since the dawn of politics.

@HMQ Thanks Tony.

Because the BBC is peopled with cretins just like him.

@@shamteal8614 A fair point. But I suppose its just them reeling out enough rope to hang themselves at this point. When they are deploying a figure as loathed and discredited as Blair to fight the remain corner, you know they have become truly desperate and know they are losing.

@@lesigh1749 All the same type of low life swimming in the same pool.

Why is he given air???

Hardly, he increased welfare in the UK, allowed for greater democracy in Scotland and Wales, increased spending significantly on education, health and other public services.

@@boulevard14 True. To his credit he did many good things in government. The National minimum wage and so on

He gave the over 75s tax free tele but murdered over a million innocent children, women and men in Iraq based on a pack of lies.

While I was against the Iraq war they did actually give Saddam the option to step down and hold free and fair elections to avoid war. He chose not to do so. Still not a justification to go to war obviously but the leadership were actually given the option of social democracy so what you say is actually not 100% true! Why Blair still insists on giving his opinion on politics I just don't know, he is universally hated by almost the entire country and every time he speaks it just renews and increases the calls for him to stand trial and be held responsible for his lies and war crimes. He just can't keep his mouth shut and his nose out of the countries business. I think his love of his own voice will end up being his ultimate downfall! He comes across as so pathetic and is desperate to get over what he has done. It's like he is hoping that one day he will do an interview and somehow magically people will forgive him for all the blood he spilled and all the innocent children he was responsible for killing! When in fact what is far more likely to happen is he will end up pissing off every future leader of the country and at some point someone will decide to have him stand trial so they can get all those political brownie points for doing so!

@@justincase5825 you are wrong. For more than 10 years they where strangling Iraq with sanctions and Iraq had many democratic party's before they choose Saddam as their puppet...you really think they wanted social democracy for Iraq is just absurd....why you acting like they want "social democracy" for Syria, Libya or Venezuela who had a legitimate government....sorry if my English is bad.

🤣🤣🤣

He won three elections, one of which even after an extremely unpopular decision regarding the invasion of Iraq. Seems like he might have at least some knowledge of democracy and it's workings even if you don't like him or his policy.

@@tehrealfake it's amazing what you can do with financial and media backing behind you. He used the liberal buzzwords and the masses lapped it all up.

@@jameswhiteley6843 Oh so it would appear even from your clearly very right-wing perspective, he knows his way around a democracy enough to get people to vote for him? I've got a secret for you. Every political candidate has financial backers, and everyone has backers in the media. It's called a campaign. It's how well you use those tools that determines how far you go. You can't reach the top of politics just by having policies that people like. Farage is the polar opposite of Blair in policy. If you deny that either of them don't know what they're doing strategically you're not seeing the big picture.

@@tehrealfake I'm not right-wing, I'm a nationalist.

Blair knows political science better than any other politician. I agree that out of all the PM that came after him Blair was the best. The country was doing economically much better. After Blair it has been a steep slope for UK politics and economy and currently there are 14 million people are in poverty in UK.

@@alistairpaul5746 He became PM of Britain just after the fall of the Soviet Union, in those circumstances even the incompetent seem competent, the opening of markets and sudden access to abundant resources in the east caused a global economic boom. Then he dismantled large parts of the welfare state Thatcher hadn't dismantled and proceeded to get Britain stuck in eternal and costly war. He's a war criminal who should go to the same courts that Milosevic went to be sentenced, Blair did after all send him there.
