Blair Still a Hero, To Some

Tony is off to Kosovo today to receive the Golden Medal of Freedom. He will meet leaders and address their Assembly. No expense is being spared for their hero’s welcome, although he won’t be offered honorary tribal membership as he was in Sierra Leone. While unwanted and still hated by swathes of his own country, the Blair magic is undiminished on the international stage.

‘Tonibler’ is a popular name for young Kosovans, and he has streets named after him. Guido is racking his brains as to where in the world his successor would receive anything other than polite applause…

UPDATE: While Blair might be popular, a Kosovan co-conspirator notes that he has a long way to go to beat Clinton as a local hero:

Blair doesn’t even have his own scrapyard in Pristina named after him yet.

            Well I wish he’s just fuck off to the bloody international stage and live there, preferably about half an inch from the edge, so he can fall off.

            They should give us all a convertible Bond for 30,000 in UKFI that is locked in for ten years. If the banks value goes down the amount goes up, meaning our price to buy goes up, if the banks value go up the amount goes down.

            At anytime you can buy the bond outrite at a 20% discount.

            This would generate money, keep every UK citizen on the right track to push the bank recovery in the right way and participate in the bank shareholder meetings and force changes

            Until Taxpayers feel the pain of what those Hunts at labour did to our country the country will stagnate and strikes will become the norm.

        This is interesting.

        I’m not sure how children born in the USA can become “the first British children” but I do understand that the Church does not observe conventional boundaries…. However the story has interesting implications…

        I postulate…

        If children born abroad can become British (not just citizens but by nationality) through some quirk in the legal system, can we reciprocally agree to nominate a formerly UK born individual as being deemed now to be a foreign national?

        I hadn’t been thinking specifically of Mr. Blair, but now I see there are creative ways to get rid of an old problem…. perhaps many problems.

        Anyone?

      Tony Blair’s sole talent was for acting. He was otherwise a chancer with no idealogical base, no understanding whatever of the people he purported to represent, and no integrity. He was the biggest con-man to gain high political power in living memory. His greatest sins were to allow Gordon Brown to rampage unchecked through the Treasury wrecking the nation’s economic standing and credibility, his willingness to allow the liars and cheats Campbell and Mandelscum far too much rein, and his determination to “secure his legacy” on the back of a very dodgy enterprise in Iraq – he has the blood of many people on his hands for that.

      May he rot in a particularly unpleasant pit in hell.

        A prog on R4 last year, Case Notes, gave a lot of info on his heart condition.
        It’s atrial fibrillation (irregular heartbeat) and he opted for a treatment that
        avoids the need for medication but has a serious risk if the condition changes.
        They destroy some of the cells that generate the trigger signals. The trouble
        is those cells may become necessary if things alter.

          • OK – deny if you will that the Fabians embraced eugenics enthusiastically, only for it to fall out of fashion in the 1940s for some unfathomable reason. It’s alive and well in the multi-culti PC green wanker attitudes that Blair represented, except that it’s the indigenous population who are being slowly stifled.

            And deny if you will that the Kosovo (and the Bosnian) situation was influenced by the Fabian-eugenic aspirations of all sides in each conflict.

            Shorthand is not the same as strawman – simples!

      It was obvious that Gordo’ would take over half way through the third term (and it was 3rd, not 4th)… At the time, for a lot of people, that didn’t seem so bad; his economic sins were hidden to many, and trying to be fair on Gordon (for a change), at least he didn’t drag us into any more wars.

      Lesson from America says:

      How is Obama doing ?

      Pretty fucking badly.

      Yet he was left a shit bowl of two disasterous wars and a fucked economy by Bush.

      So why isn’t a strategy of blaming it all on Bush working ???

      The voter always says, “yes, but what have YOU done for me lately ?”
      ALWAYS.

      When Cameron finally realises this he’s going to start panicking.

      • 84

        Because Obama started off with consensual politics. He offered his hand of friendship to the Republicans and tried to run a platform of reforming the country, together, united.
        Republicans told him to piss off. By the time he started blaming them he had made his own cock ups.

        DC learnt that lesson. Brown’s Labour and all who steered them are to blame.
        That will buy him more time.

        • 117
          Lesson from America says:

          You’re right! Totally unlike Dave.

          Who started by forming a coalition between the Conservatives and Liberals of consensual politics and is trying to run a platform of “we’re all in this together”.

          Labour’s told him to piss off. And Obama never tried to blame Bush at the start. (except for all the times he did.)

          Couldn’t be more different.

          The U.S. voter didn’t even give Obama a full year before he owned the economy and this is a guy they liked at first who got a clear majority.

          DC’s fucked if he thinks he can sit back and pretend he’s not in charge for five years.

          You win it, you own it.

          • You’re right and wrong.
            The coalition has actually helped. 2 vs 1 on all battles. 67% on side instead of 38% or whatever it was.
            And the libcon have attacked Labour constantly, about its poor record.
            People, except the most tribally biased party hacks, know that Labour was to blame for over spending and a scorched earth final year once the game was up.

            The issue that the country will turn on the conlibs is not in doubt. what is, is how quickly and for how long. Without growth its all over. With growth Nicky Cameron needs only to convince 40% hes got it right and hes back in.

            And labourites who think they have picked up 2 million extra votes from disgruntled Lib dems are going to be very surprised when it makes little difference, as these were their tactical supporters already.

          • Lesson from America says:

            If the public really all thought Brown and Labour was to blame for absolutely everything Dave would have gotten a landslide like Blair did.

            He didn’t even get a majority.

            Because the public knew, like those who aren’t Partisan hacks, that it was Brown AND the Bankers who BOTH fucked the economy.

            Cameron only needed to convince 40% he was right when Brown was actually in charge of the shitheap at it’s worst.

            Again, he didn’t.

            I don’t actually give a flying fuck what Labour do as I will never vote for them but some Conservatives are actually deluded enough to think they can just sit back and the public will hand them the next election because Brown was shit.

            To be fair that WAS the entire Cameron strategy for the last election so some have just failed to realise it didn’t really work, Brown is gone and they are in power now.

            As for the Libs, they are currently at 15% before the cuts even take effect. Their grassroots might be giving Clegg the same honeymoon Dave is getting but the voters aren’t. So they might be dumb enough to be Dave’s human shield and fall guy for the next 5 years, but then again they might not.

            After next May we’ll find out just how stupid they are and how strong the coalition is.

            It still all comes back to the voter asking “yes, but what have YOU done for me lately ?”

            If they don’t like the answer, that’s it.

        And Blair is still busy in (international) politics. The Queen might expect him to make a domestic comeback! Next time the monarchy needs saving, perhaps? She knows a good un when she meets one.

          had there been WMDs and sadam really was posing a threat other than internal supression the second war might have been justified but Blair comes out as being a lightweight more driven by ‘being a big boy’ with bush and lost sight of reality once he sunk to the manipulation of intelligence reports that were at best fuzzy and at worst very short on reliable content. Sending our country to war is a extremely onerous undertaking not best set out upon under the pen of people like alistair campbell et al.

      • 169

        History won’t show anything – by definition, it cannot compare the utter clusterfuck that was post-invasion Iraq to the alternatives, because those alternatives (of an Iraq held in check by sanctions and threats, and allowing the natural death of the Saddam regime) were thrown away in a fit of evangelical pique by Bush and Blair, with their lies and distortions of intelligence at the heart of the matter.

        History, as written by the ‘victors’, will of course reflect the prevailing viewpoint – I am not convinced that it is possible to rehabilitate a character so utterly repulsive as Blair, so I fear you may be disappointed in your hopes.

        • 181

          It’s fair to say that we can’t compare a negative. So we cannot prove how much MORE of a danger Iraq would have become if Saddam was still running things there.

          His regime’s “natural death? Like Mugabe he probably had at least another 20 years natural in him!

          Having flouted the UN’s rulings for over 12 years, having killed his own sons-in-law when they tried to oppose him, having gassed the Kurs and attacked the Iranians, his history didn’t promise a calm peaceful future.

          A fit of “angelic pique”. You really need to stop the Daily Maul /Guardian regurgitation.

          I am not convinced that it is possible to recalibrate the twisted and brainwashed thinking of those who love to comment so knowingly on the value, worth, integrity of others.
