Blair changed the country for the better. Soap dodgers harp on about the war but ask the Iraqi people freed of a murderous dictator. Life is good for them
He also oversaw a domestic boom in the economy, introduced the minimum wage, surestart centres and banned foxhunting. Amongst a billion other positive things.
He made a gross error of judgement on Iraq and it's a shame that'll be his legacy. Quite frankly I think constantly berating him is wrong. It's not all black and white and he should be weighed up a little bit maturely than just labelling him good or evil.
where is the interview on iplayer, do you know what time it was on?
How is getting rid of an evil tyrant a bad thing? I just don't see how anyone can be against the removal of Saddam Hussein. As for saying he was a bad Prime Minister, I'd rather have him in charge now than Cameron.
How is getting rid of an evil tyrant a bad thing?
So why don't we remove a number of other tyrants? North Korea, Zimbabwe, Burma, to name but a few. And is it really worth all those British servicemen lives to remove a dictator who is not threatening the UK? I don't think so.
Spot onDifficult to see whether he was a worse PM than Gordon Brown or whether Gordon Brown was a worse PM than Twatty Blair or whether Alastair Darling was a worse Chancellor of the Exchequer than Gordon Brown or whether Gordon Brown was a worse Chancellor of the Exchequer than Alastair Darling.
All that is now evident after the revelations this week, that the whole New Labour Project was one of the worst things ever to hit this country. Probably irretrievable in both social and economic terms.
Blair also had us into conflicts we should never have been in.
Never ever want another Labour government. Never been a good one and don't want to test the theory again, thank you very much.

You missed out absolute shyster.B.Liar should be in front of a War Crimes tribunal for his complicity in the illegal and immoral invasion of Iraq. He cost the lives of untold thousands of people and has blood on his hands up to his armpits. Utterly shameful.
