“Sir Tony Blair: I thought Iraq invasion was the right thing to do” – Former Prime Minister Sir Tony Blair has admitted he “may have been wrong” about the decision to invade Iraq and Afghanistan, but insisted he thought it was “the right thing” to do, reports the Mail. Aah, give him a break. He meant well.And he’s suffered enough, what with people saying nasty things about him, and him having to wait years for his honours and all. Gee, I wonder if Putin thinks attacking Ukraine might be “the right thing to do”? No, I’m sure Anthony Lynton Blair is a basically decent guy who genuinely thought waging an illegal war based on lies wouldn’t result in any deaths of people who didn’t deserve what they got, and anyway all the deaths would be a price well worth paying for the goodness it would bring into the world. whereas the evil Vladimir Putin was just sitting stroking a white cat while planning how to kill as many innocents as possible, for the sheer hell of it. And that’s why the Russians are so unreasonable to pretend they think NATO might attack them at some future date, because everyone knows the… Read more »
A very reasonable summary.
I said it when he was PM and I haven’t stopped saying since – the most dangerous man ever to occupy the post of Prime Minister and the damage he has done to this country will take fifty years to recover from.
On the last part I was wrong. Bliar is hell bent on destroying this country and I don’t think we will ever rectify his damages.
Seems to me the coherent Working Class that was destroyed during Blairs time in power.
His attacks on the ‘privileged’ largely passing them by or becoming redundant.
One of the very few people who I’d describe as actively, knowingly evil.
I could cheerfully pull the level on Blair and Alky Campbell, then sleep the sleep of the just.
Personally, as above, I would happily do so for all PMs since – and most of the cabinets and MPs! {Oh, and don’t let us forget all the scientivist scum!}
And I’d consider that Major removed the rocks from the field that Blair ploughed, then everyone since just dug the same furrow deeper.
I would be happy to join you.
And, be fair, ALL PMs since have done their share (and, in Bozo’s case, much more than their share) to contribute to this!
They’ve all been “Blairites”, and I’d suggest that Major was a Blairite before we knew what one was.
The last decent Premiere we had was defenestrated in 1990.
“Thought it was the right thing to do . . .:
For who?
He’s certainly done ‘alright’ out of it. Money spinning books, still in the public eye (well Press eye) so lucrative interviews decades later.
Guess he ´thought’ vaccine passports and digital IDs were the right way to go. Will he ever admit he was wrong on that subject as well?
Don’t be kidded that Bliar has given up on digital ID or bloody vax passes. The Davos Deviants are having a break to reassess. Problems will really start once their malignant new Bill of Rights and Online Harms Bill are on the statute books – it’s all for the public good.
Bill of Rights? What that really means is their Table of Rights.
“UK seeks to quicken sanctions process to increase pressure on Russia” (Reuters)
“MPs seeking ‘fast-track’ freeze on oligarchs’ assets before formal sanctions” (Guardian)
That’ll show ’em, eh?
The tennis at Wimbledon will be along soon too. Maybe threaten to give every billionaire from Russia one less strawberry – or install some harder seats for them in the royal box at Centre Court.
Whooooops – I nearly mentioned the royal family in a message about “Russian” “oligarchs”. Can’t have that!
PS I seem to recall that the term “oligarch” was spread around in connection with Russia by the Royal Institute of International Affairs (aka “Chatham House”) as a replacement for the otherwise liable to become current term “mafia boss”.
Funny how it’s not used as a label for any Chinese, US, Arab, Italian, Irish, or British billionaire. It’s never used for example for Jack Ma, Elon Musk, Larry Page, Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, George Soros, Prince Al Waleed, Mohammed bin Salman, Silvio Berlusconi, John Magnier, the British queen, or Philip Green. As for the Rothschild family, they’re “philanthropists” – have I got the lingo right?
Add Reset Charlie Windsor to the list. And his appalling progeny.

Very few Russian householders will be thinking
“my election bill would only be R300.00 and not this R550.00 if not for sanctions, damn Putin”.
“Electric bill”😎
I suspect that as domestic fuel bills start landing on door mats some workers might do a little modelling and come to the not unreasonable conclusion that returning to the office might in fact save some money. And if they don’t return PDQ there might not be an office to return to.
Why is anyone listening to Blair? How the hell did he get a knighthood and his ‘foundation’ is funded by oil, money! Go to hell, use that cash to continue looking for WMDs mate!! 🤣🤣
Bliar is largely funded by Lord Bill of the Gates of Hell.
What about Andrew the unmentionable?
I think military personnel don’t have to salute him anymore. And he can’t in future sport a chestful of medals at fancy dress parties.
Fancy dress parties are very important, Prince Harry goes to them dressed as a high-ranking Nazi. And then marries a woman of colour!
Confused? Cognitive dissonance? It’s tough being royal.
As reported. ‘Prince’ Andrew has been stripped of a plaque in is honour from the waiting room of Torquat Police Station following a complaint from ‘a member of the public’.
Expect he’ll top himself after that disgrace.
As of 5 March, 66,224 Ukrainian men had returned to their homeland to defend it from the invader. In 11 days of their country being at war, all these Ukrainian men rushed home to protect it.
As of now, Syria has been at war for 11 years and it seems no Syrian men have returned home to protect and defend it. Quite the opposite in fact, about 6.8 million Syrians have fled Syria since this war began. And judging by those being ferried from France to the UK, 90% of these were men of military age.
A large transport plane packed with “asylum seekers” pictured on an Afghanistan runway during the fall of Kabul told a similar story; about 90% of the “asylum seekers” crammed in the cargo bay were men of military age.
No matter what they say about cultures being social constructs, on the ground evidence points to there being a vast genetic difference between populations.

Meanwhile, China built more new coal capacity last year alone than our entire grid output.
It’s OK though, the International Energy Agency tells us that we can simply
I’m coming to the unavoidable conclusion that everybody involved in any grift with the words “international”, “energy”, “ecological” or “sustainable” in it are either dumber than a box of left-handed hammers, actively evil to levels measured on the Blair Scale, or both.
“International Human Rights” ??
In CURRENT_YEAR, indeed. Best to get “social”, “justice” or “equity” in there to make it absolutely clear that you only employ Common Purpose / WEF Youth black-belts.
“WEF Youth black-belts.”
😀 😀 That’s a cracker 👍
But I’ve seen Theresa May wearing trousers.
“Sweden to End Pandemic Measures, Stop Classifying Covid as ‘Generally and Socially Dangerous’” – will this then also mean that there are ZERO restrictions on entering the country? I’ve noticed so far that many countries like to trumpet the reduction or removal of “all” restrictions, however then insist on keeping a covid pass for entry into the country….
Indeed “All despotism is ending, except for the despotism which is not ending”.
And the processes and systems are going nowhere, they’re just being moved into a new phase of development after the initial trials.
It was Totalitarianism … which is despotism based on fear mongering and psyops.
No, not yet totally free to Sweden, but Ireland has gone back to pre-Covid rules totally as of yesterday, supposedly to help refugees from Ukraine (some sort of fig leaf so the vaxxed don’t feel cheated?) but anyone can enter Ireland just like the old days two years ago.
Returning to the UK still has hurdles from UK Govt but interesting an EU country has done this
Crikey, both barrels from Professor Mark Woolhouse about being required to praise the Emperor’s New Modelling.
Of course, the dirty, dirty smear merchants are only interested in selling the latest bombshell controversy, but they’ve accidentally stumbled onto something honest for once.

Covering his own back, after the event and nothing more.
His excuses are riddled with deceits:
He supported protection of the vulnerable. That would be the GBD then?
‘R’ number is / was a con. No shit Sherlock.
LFT’s were invaluable. I suppose he also believes PCR’s are “the gold standard” – I’m quoting Bliar.
Vaccines saved lives. Really?
Schools should never have been closed, but he let it go through. And so on.
A Professor? An out and out charlatan with blood on his hands.
Bliar was so sure the Iraq invasion was ‘the right thing to do’ that he had the intelligence reworked until it was ‘the right’ form of words to justify the right thing to do.
Icke was right about one thing. Lizards walk the Earth. Some are even knights.
https://raymcgovern.com – has an adult discussion on the causes and prospects for the Ukraine situation.
Very worth listening to.
Funny, how 2022 reminds you of that tinfoil hat conspiracy theory of Great Reset… But we all know this is not what is happening. Pure and weird coincidence.
Sweden hasn’t actually removed all travel restrictions yet, but the Irish republic has! Over the weekend at a snap of the fingers the unvaxxed can enter and even the passenger locator form is gone. No quarantine, nothing.
Supposedly to help Ukrainian refugees but clearly a fig leaf as it applies to anyone. More evidence we’ve moved onto the next crisis. Meanwhile the landfills await unwanted vaxx. Not a waste as money and power were gained and digital ID trialled with success.
I thought May was bad then Bozo came along!
Excellent article by Peter Hitchens we should all read it and take heed.
