The only thing that pillock is good for is lining his own pocket and bugger any one else.

The damage and the bad will he has caused to the Uk will take for ever and a day to repair.

"......I ask this question with reference to his wife Cherie and the Orams' case....."



What's that got to do with the EU Presidency? If you mean will it help the Oram's, I think not I'm afraid.

God helps us if he is made EU President, he has caused enough damage to the UK. Not good for anywhere on this earth.

Crickey coachie, you going against your beloved Blair? what ever next! told you that you will soon be a cons through and through.



Blair about 5 years ago started to get himself on this ladder with Bush fully behind him. He was never in GB sorting out our probs but was high tailing it to those in power......

Imagine what this says to the British people when they vote out a Labour Government next year and then discover that one of the prime protagonists in taking us to a phoney war is still in power over them without anyone having a vote to decide who should get the EU job.

I think that it could prove beneficial. I am sure that because of Cherie's involvement with the Orams case he will have a better idea than many other european politicians of the general situation and I think the chance to raise his world profile by settling the 50 year old Cyprus problem may prove to be irresistable to his publicity seeking personality!

Did Cherie Blair get paid by the Orams? Wasn't their a problem or did it get sorted in the end?

Coachie

I wouldnt say he is a failed Tory, rather he is exactly what they are about!. The lying phony.



I prefer the Tories to New Labour ,at least they are honest about who they are in power to look after.The same people they have looked after since Waterloo. New Labour on the other hand pretend they are for the working man but in reality want to out Tory the Tories.



Dont want the euro ,dont want the Schengen area agreement,want to opt out of everything,dont like them frogs ,krauts,spics and dagos ,do whatever the Yanks tell them to do,yet we want a British EU President!

British, dont you just love em!



Would look good if after being elected ,he was indicted for war crimes.Guess Cherie will help out.



Dont see how he would make any difference in the Orams case, the Presidency has very liitle power,and lets face it ,apart from ROC and Greece who in EU gives a s--t about Cyprus. Every time the ROC rep stands up to speak in Brussels I imagine a tired groan emanates from all

I would like to see President Bliar because I think this is the only thing that would outrage the Conservatives enough to give us a referendum not on just a treaty but leaving the EU completely.

Personally I would vote for Simbas! She might not solve the Cyprus problem, but at least you would get a good laugh talking about it!

Hiya Turt,



Good to hear from you.



When TB took George W Bush to the Golden Lion in Sedgefield, the fish, chips and mushy peas went up from £6.49 a portion



to ten quid!! Now that "mon ami" is capitalism, not socialism! Bloody new Labour. How many euros is that Tone?



The working class, can kiss my aaaa! Ive got the foremans job at laaarst!



Come on Coachie.......Hes your man. Stand up and be counted!

Wyn..he has never been my man and never will be.I never liked his policies because they were to closely aligned to the Tories.When a person tries to appease both the gaffers and the unions you know your in for trouble.



Girne29..It was the tories who took us into EU.The only political opposition party to not ratify the Lisbon agreement is the Conservative Party.As for doing what the Yanks tell us,its a lot of tripe.If you are referring to the war crimes what about the Lead Lady,she took us into the first war in Iraq,so is she going to face war crime charges as well.If we had not got rid of Saddam when we did,believe me would really be in deep brown stuff by now.He would not have stopped at Kuwait,then what.It probably was all about oil and I do not have any problem with that.I have always found that when the going gets tough it is always the Tories who are up in arms about how much tax they will have to pay for this and that.I feel a lot safer now that he has gone.I pay tax as well..

It is interesting to note that this govenment said about 12 months ago and I quote; This country is in a better position than anyone else to weather the storm and come out of recession before others.



Now remind me again which countries are now out of recession and which one is still very much in it !

Where is the referendum this government (in their manifesto) promised?

Oh did they forget?

TB as the President of the European Council?

Saddam Hussain would have been more a more honest candidate!



TB should be tried as a war criminal, because that is what he is!

Coachie

As regards the EU I am not talking about who brought us in. I am talking about what we as a country think of EU and how absurd it would be for a nation that has the least involvement in EU matters to want then to have the Presidency.

Nothing to do with Tory or Labour.



Yes the Tories brought us into Europe ,a move I support.



As for New Labour and Blair, They have left millions of people like myself disenfranchised, I wont vote Tory and there is no point in voting New Labour as they are just the same.So who do I vote for that will represent me?



You are wrong about Thatcher ,I have no time for her,but she is not in the same position as Blair, hers was a legal War.

As for Blair, part of the petition to indite him"To go to war under false pretences is against the Geneva Convention, not to mention all the innocent victims of this attack on the sovereign nation of Iraq. "

Basically, if a war is illegal then the perpertrator has acted illegally.

29 cont



As for your point about Saddam Hussein ,When did this guy become the evil tyrant that Bush and Blair had to destroy.We should have killed him 20 years ago.



Even they saw the hypocrisy of going to war to get rid of a guy that was behaving to his own people and the Kurds, exactly as he had done all those years we supported him, indeed supplied him with the equipment.

Up to Kuwait we didnt give s--t about those he killed and tortured.We all know the crime he committed in invading Kuwait ,interfering with our oil. Saying that ,he had to be stopped and evicted from Kuwait.That war was supported by the UN .



The second war was illegal,, ,an invasion of a sovereign country. The way out was to convince people he had WMD and was a risk to us all. they have been caught out lying and--

Wikipedia- 'A war of aggression is a military conflict waged absent the justification of self-defense. Waging such a war of aggression is a crime under the customary international law'.

being T Blair is only any good for feathering his and his cronies nets I very much doubt he would be any good for much else as the state of UK economy under equipped troops fighting a US agenda can tell any person with half a brain capable of reading any newspaper can see the above is sadly true

Not to mention the culture of sheer unadulterated green as far as expenses have been concerned
