Tony Blair has a complicated legacy. On the one hand, he plunged Britian into decades of war, scarring a generation, destabilising the middle-east and slaughtering countless innocent people. On the other hand, centrist bald men say he was great, actually. It's impossible to say who is correct.
Love that a bald centerist immediately showed up to get mad at this.
Tale as old as time
that sounds an awful lot like "Fuck Tony Blair" and "Fuck the centrist bald fucks" in equal measure to me
I saw a shocking job ad that suggested there are some 900 people who work for his institute. I’m sure many of them are nice people who go to work each day trying to help others. But—they have to tell people they work there.
Saddest thing is he's still arguably the best (well, least shit) PM of the last 5 decades.
No he's not, he inherited a growing low inflation economy from the Tories, then completley incompetantly increased spending beyond the ability of the economy to sustain it, he got taken for a ride by the city who then went on collapse and cause the worst recession since the 20's.
His entire thing was betting that the housing market would never crash and you could rely on increasing private debt and flogging off state assets to make it seem like things were actually improving. Useless bastard.
A fucking money grubbing war criminal, that hasnt got the punishment he so richly deserves. Im never surprised to see him pop up wherever there's suffering in the middle east to make excuses for the oppresors.
On the one hand, Thatcher called him her greatest achievement and he laid the foundations for the tory attacks on disabled people. On the other hand, Sure Start centres
Oh sure, piss on the bald guys
He's a war criminal, consultant to Saudi journalist shredders, Thatcherite privateer, property speculator, now advising Trump and the Fascist Israeli regime on how to ethnically cleanse Palestine and build Trump's death-camp Riviera. But hey, Centrists always see both sides, even of Genocide.
My family was better off under Blair, but then there's NHS PFI, war mongering etc and think he should be tried for war crimes. I would never describe him as great. But then I'm not centrist, bald or a man
Helped lie us ALL into Iraq with Little Bush. Unforgiveable. Impossible to ignore.
🤣🤣🤣👏👏👏
Allowing for the emphasis you've chosen, BOTH are possible.
He had a big mouth and a small brain.
