How does he propose to challenge Saudi and Qatari atrocties in Yemen? (Which gets so little attention even though it's as bad as Syria and the blame pretty unambigously lies with the Gulf states and Western enablers such as, it now turns out, Bozza).<br /><br />Unfortunately the return of disgraced former defence secretary Liam Fox roves that neoconservatism isn't dead, but we can confront such reactionary attitudes by getting behind Tim Farron, not bringing back that tit.<br />asquithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14246701347539264295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486641877026778105.post-36597658170304411262016-10-11T19:42:04.786+01:002016-10-11T19:42:04.786+01:00He may indeed, surrounded by sycophants, "thi...He may indeed, surrounded by sycophants, "think" that - but it merely shows how delusional and even deranged he has now become.<br /><br />Even polls - now routinely used as means of manipulating public opinion rather than merely reflecting it - consistently show a Blair led Labour would do (even) worse than under Corbyn.<br /><br />And rest assured, Chilcot would no longer be "forgotten" if he really did attempt a serious comeback......Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486641877026778105.post-58087684231763385162016-10-11T17:07:15.684+01:002016-10-11T17:07:15.684+01:00The chilcot report is today's toilet paper!

Instead of demanding his arrest the British people, well just carry on consuming as if it has a zero footprint. And these values are to be spread to every corner of the globe! <br /><br />Cripes, and they say ISIS is a poisonous and dangerous ideology!<br /><br /><br /><br />BCFGnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486641877026778105.post-73788526914042236152016-10-10T23:10:10.746+01:002016-10-10T23:10:10.746+01:00What I find amusing is that any Blair comeback has...What I find amusing is that any Blair comeback has to be premised on the 48% - but that brings him into direct conflict with Uncle Rupert... just not going to happen...Metatonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00175633633918800979noreply@blogger.com
