Tony Blair: His Greatest Speech (2 of 4) 

this is how a leader speaks! this guy would have been PM for ever. LABOUR YOU NEED A GUY LIKE THIS WHO CAN SELL ICE TO AN ESKIMO.

Tony Blair - man, leader, legend!

Tony Blair, you are one of the finest public servants the UK and the world has ever seen. Labor continues to regret pushing you out to this very day. God bless you my friend.

I would rather have Tony Blair in power than the Tories anyday.

Blair was, and still is, a fantastically inspirational man. Not exactly an economist but, a true politician!

Perfect. And I am not at all a leftie but you have to bow to this speech.-

On globalisation, "with these opportunities comes huge insecurity" On energy "scarce energy sources mean rising prices and will threaten our country's economy" On welfare "..4 million on benefit, many of whom could work, almost 1m less than there were, but still too many" TB spelled out issues in 2006 years before the mainstream media and the public caught on. Say what you like about his foreign policy, he knew the issues Britain faced at the time (pensioner poverty, poor public services, a poor NHS) and knew the issues to come (spiralling welfare bills, globalisation - economic growth in the east and the ensuing demand in materials and energy). Gordon Brown was unable or unwilling to act on Blair's words. The Coalition slow to catch on too. Only now seven years later are these issues coming to the fore, their impact made worse because Britain has ignored them for so long. TB spelled out the challenge to come. From where I'm sitting, its a challenge Britain is ducking. Looking to the likes of UKIP to 'pull up the drawbridge' and deny the effect of a changing world.

best Prime Minister in my short years. And great that he ended 18 long depressive years or Tory. Would have him in number 10 any day of the week,

great speech

a great leader....

one of the things I often hear is "he only won becuase he adopted Tory policy"....but if that's the case; then for pitty sake why aren't the torys any ruddy good when there in power. This is the thing that no one can answer. YES, he may have taken the prinicples of a tory policy; but he crafted them and created then into some that actually worked !! best prime minister in my time, regardless of what is said here. I agree, Brown did screw things up...but brown was old school thinking.

Iraq and Afghanistan were american wars, we just dragged britain with us.

Best PM. Made mistakes but made such a massive improvement to UK.

what a man.

Can you imagine Corbyn Owen the Jones ever making a decent speech like this?

So by "great" You mean a country that has no power to govern itself with an economy on the brink of bankruptcy?

Tony Blair: His Greatest Speech (2 of 4)

Why?

Do you have any proof?

Yes why

His voice has a similar comparison to that of Rishi Sunak’s; if you listen carefully.

The speech says clearly what New Labour stood for: hand out tax credits, hand out extra child benefit, extra maternaty pay,... It sounds easy to me just to hand out government money. It would have been an achievement is they had actually made government better, they just transformed it into an ATM for pressure groups.

And he borrowed so much money that were still paying it off today. When he came into power Britain was dept free

Makes me feel physically sick to even look at the snake.

THE FACE OF EVIL

This guy and other like him is not right Christian because It is written in the Bible that you should not kill anyone But this guy doesn't follow the holy Bible 🙄

Bollocks

No more please god of this Blair lier .You clap , people stop this sham ,Do not vote labour .

Blair handed over one of the strongest and most prosperous economies in the world over to Brown if he had stayed there would still be a Labour government today. Luckily, the tories have made such a right royal fuck up of the global economic downturn that it won't be long before we are welcoming the only true party again!
