Stoatwobbler   10 #4 Posted May 20, 2012 (edited) Mr Blair is thought to believe that enough time has passed for people to have forgotten the disastrous effect of the Iraq war on his image  I don't see how it's possible to forget the Iraq war, or for that matter a number of other bad policies pioneered by Blair from PFI to tuition fees, not to mention the toxic brand of careerist politics he pioneered and which is prevalent in all 3 parties now.  And another thing, why do politicans think that people will magically forget bad policies, sleaze and the like?

That ol' Selective Socialist Amnesia is very infectious.  I'ved lived for a time in places where a donkey wearing a blue rosette is guaranteed election as well. That sort of tribal loyalty is highly unhealthy either way as it produces politicians who think they can get away with whatever they like.

Stoatwobbler   10 #11 Posted May 20, 2012 He was an election winner, like Thatcher.  This an argument that really gets on my thru'penny bits and has been frequently wheeled out by supporters of Tony Blair for many years. The argument that Blair should be revered on the basis of his electoral success against a Conservative party that was a total mess is flawed as it fails to address the many policy failings of his government.

That ol' Selective Socialist Amnesia is very infectious.  You don't get much more Tory than Tony, makes you look like the kind of blinkered partisan that you are trying to mock.  God help the Labs if Tory Blair returned, I'd imagine that would be almost as damaging as Davey and the gimp are to the Tories.  As things stand I fear that Buzz Williband will the the next PM, how much more broken can Britain get - it's so sad it's funny.
