Anthony Lyndon Blair.

Been a while since i last dropped on this site, life gets in the way.

My take on Blair, i was in the royal engineers and proud to serve queen and country.
However, we went out to iraq (I went over in 2004) on arguments based on lies.
Blair wanted his name up there with Bush (who was itching to finish what daddy started)
The fact he comes back and patronises the public again after a democratic vote tells you all you need to know about the man.

to be blunt, i wouldnt piss on him if he was on fire!

Can someone please explain where the difficulty in this question lies?
Although I can see that both the 'Remain' and the 'Leave' campaigns served up so much tripe, the question itself is very simple.

I had the dubious pleasure of being up close and personal with New Labour for a week, in a work capacity, during their '96 party conference in Blackpool
What a bunch of arrogant, self serving, power hungry a**holes they were and they just KNEW that they would win the following years general election.
The sight of Tony and Cherie Blair, John Prescott et al drunkenly singing and dancing, arms in the air, to the New Labour theme, D:Reams 'Things will only get better' in the early hours of the morning on the last night of conference at the then Stakis Hotel, is something I will never ever forget

We need to build you a bad memory erasing machine Carl.

I just can't hear that song without having flashbacks.

I think I might have PTSD!

What you need to do is play it for something good.

Its an attempt to try to subvert the result by some who dont wish to abide by the rules of a democratic society, that road lies dictatorship and it must be resisted at all costs.

Here, here.

I don't think 95% on either side had the first clue of the full implications, in terms of economics etc. It's going to be a fkn shit storm. Largely, old people voted to leave because they are old and sour and remember the war and don't like a lot of europeans, and young people voted to remain because the are idealistic, inclusive and naive. Can't win. Democracy.
