The Blair legacy

Posted by Guessedworker on Wednesday, 09 May 2007 22:53.

The Right Honourable Tony Blair MP announces his retirement as Prime Minister tomorrow.

I hope in my heart that one day the Prime Minister will be able to say sorry to the families bereaved by this war, and that one day he will find himself able to visit in hospital the soldiers who have been wounded by it.

Reg Keys, father of Tom who gave his life in an illegal war. From his election speech at Sedgefield, where he challenged Blair at the 2005 General Election.

“I understand for these families. It is a time of immense grief and anguish. But I can’t say what I don’t believe. I don’t believe it was wrong to get rid of Saddam. I also don’t believe that the reason that we have the problem we have in Iraq is because of anything other than a deliberate attempt to give us that problem by terrorists.

Tony Blair speaking to the grieving families of soldiers killed in Iraq

Here are a few simple reminders for posterity of the decade during which Britain suffered Blair in Downing Street:-

You missed a few.

Otherwise excellent!

this post provides the inspiration to create individual websites of traitors to their people and western civilization.

It would be a cheap way to forever remember them for their roles in bringing down our societies

I can see it now ,tonyblairtraitor.com ,with links to all the other traitors and their crimes on the sidebar

The url would cost a few bucks a year

Terrific photogallery, GW. A picture really does tell a thousand words. The BSE epidemic falls rather short of treason, but it’s a fair cop where all the rest are concerned.

2nd CC,

I am sure there must be plenty I’ve missed, including the two positives of peace in Northern Ireland and devolution for Scotland and Wales.

Voice,

That is a worthwhile project. But as with all these things, it’s better to do than talk. Go to it.

If you ask rural people if they think the gross handling handling of f&m by this government was treachery you will likely receive a very plain reply.

But in general terms, yes, the Blair legacy is a traitor’s legacy, and his two political monuments are the illegal war in Iraq and open British borders. Would any American readers care to comment on comparisons with Bush?

Yes, those pictures say it all.
As far as I can see Blair’s legacy only amounts to two compltelely execrable things:

1/. The most massive, sustained immigration wave in the Islands’ history, dwarfing all historical precedent (at least since the Celtic, Roman, Anglo-Saxon and Norman conquests), in proportionate terms and in speed.
2/. Embroilment in a disasterous war, under dubious circumstances that has lead to untold sffering, death and destruction wreaked on innocents.

And as ‘Private Eye’ used to say ....er…and that’s it.

Honestly, I can’t think of anything else. (perhaps doubling the Council Tax and making the majority of British estates eligible to 40% inheritance tax?).

Another Blair legacy: Holocaust Memorial Day. Blair had Levy; Brown’s got Cohen; Cameron will have Pears et al. Same story in the US. Never before in the history of human endeavour has so much misery been caused to so many for the sake of so few.

TAM DALYELL, the Father of the House [Senior member of the British House of Commons in Parliament], sparked outrage last night by accusing the Prime Minister of “being unduly influenced by a cabal of Jewish advisers”.

Lord Janner, a Labour peer and the chairman of the Holocaust Educational Trust, said: “I think these comments are sad and unfounded. Tony Blair is his own man. He will follow advice if he considers it correct and not otherwise. He has been a good friend of the Jewish people and the Jewish state.”

Fred,

Hitchens-Londoner meets Hitchens-NewlyJewish. No surprise that he doesn’t like the Burqas he see, really. But London probably has more Jews than Moslems. He doesn’t mind them, naturally.

As for Larry, he really needs to ask an Englishman about who and what we are before passing comment. It isn’t as if we are Americans Americanising the world or Jews claiming G-d chosen rights over it. We are not overt in that sense. The truth is, Larry-babe doesn’t know us. He just talks too much.

The elite/left-driven suffocation of English voices while our race replacement proceeds is a crime against humanity. Larry isn’t fit to comment.

Alex,

Larry is open to nationalist sentiment up to the point where nationalist sentiment isn’t open to Jewish critique and re-interpretation from within. Then he screams “anti-semite” with the best of them, as I know to my cost.

A nationalism that cannot deliver itself from the itchy fingers of Jewish intellectualism will have to serve two ethnic masters, and eventually just one. It won’t be our’s.

Well, that’s not what European nationalism is meant for, and it needs to be defended from the Larry’s of this world. So in his case my language is stronger than that I customarily employ. Sorry to offend you, which is certainly not my intention. But I am not acting as reflexively as perhaps you suppose, nor without sound reason.

It’s over, finally.

Best friend Israel and Jews ever had in Downing Street

WE will rue the day when Tony Blair is gone. Expect to hear that phrase uttered at an increasingly irregularity now the Prime Minister has confirmed the worst kept secret in politics . . . he will be leaving office on June 27. And mark my word, after a decade in power, how the community will miss him. Without equivocation or fear of challenge, Jews and Israel have never had a better friend in Downing Street.

The same old policies with a new face.

Forgive me if this sounds a bit wild, but Gordon Brown does not have the contenance of an Anglo-Saxon, and certainly looks more Jewish than Jack Straw… has anyone certified the purity of his lineage?

Posted by Fred Scrooby on Mon, 14 May 2007 02:32 | #

Gordon Brown:

His father, John, was a Church of Scotland minister.

(I know, I know, that still leaves his maternal side unaccounted for. I’ll look that up when I have time. But I do agree, he doesn’t look Anglo-Saxon or, for that matter, Scottish, or any variety of British).

Fred,
There are many ‘dark types’ like Gordon Brown in Scotland.
I believe Scots themselves refer to that phenotypes as ‘Pictish’, although if it betrays Pictish blood I do not know.

With this nose and he’s wondering whether I’m Joosh?

No, the name is a comment on Blair, not on my race.

Don’t look now but the worst British prime minister in history is tipped to become the first full-time President of the European Union: it’s said to be virtually “a done deal” (with the “right-wing” Blair-loving Nicolas Sarcoma working very hard behind the scenes to make it happen).

Posted by Fred Scrooby on Wed, 30 Jan 2008 04:34 | #

Which of course is naught but a reflection of the fact that Sarcoma’s strings are pulled by the same behind-the-scenes puppetmasters as Blair’s. Just as with, say, professional wrestling they all work for the same boss behind the scenes.
