Aside from Iraq, Blair oversaw the introduction of laws which started the erosion of civil liberties in the UK. These laws have not been repealed, indeed they are being added to. I consider him more authoritarian than democrat, and the media keeps him alive with the oxygen of publlicity.
He is a master-puppeteer / mouthpiece of the global elite! Despite his war crimes, he became a "Sir Tony Blair"... his reward for faithfully fulfilling the orders of the global military order's agenda (i.e.: to progressively assist in our reversion back to slaves/captives/bonds ... just like ancient times) during his tenure as PM. It's so insidious. It's all about global debt. All 56 UN/IMF-participating nations are being Corps-oratised as 'sicut cadavers'. Look up the 'Cestui Que Vie Act, 1666', never repealed.
@@birdstrikes Blair was PM from 1997 to 2007. During this time the UK introduced: 1. 1997 - The Police Act, included powers to intercept communications. 2. 2000 - The Terrorism Act, allows 7 days' detention without charge. Section 44 allows Stop and Search with no "reasonable suspicion". 3. 2000 - The Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act, allows the government full surveillance powers of all kinds of communication. 4. 2001 - The Anti-Terrorism Crime and Security Act, allows indefinite detention without trial for non-British nationals suspected of committing terrorist offences 5. 2003 - Criminal Justice Act, abrogated double jeopardy in cases with "new and compelling evidence". Extended detention without trial to 14 days. 6. 2004 - Civil Contingencies Act, allows the government, in an "emergency", to deploy armed forces during peacetime. Also property can be sequestrated. 7. 2005 - Serious Organised Crime and Police Act, created an offence of inciting religious hatred. Also requires notification for protests within 1km of Parliament. 8. 2005 - Prevention of Terrorism Act, allows the Home Secretary to impose control orders on any British citizen. 9. 2006 - Terrorism Act, extended detention without trial to 28 days. I trust I've made my point.
Saw a comment about Iraq; if we didn't invade and used that money on Navy, we could have had 3 Aircraft Carriers and a dozen Destroyers. Just to put in perspective how much money we spent.
Villain who thinks he is the architect of the New World Order for the good of all. But No, this is not what we want Blair - get out of the way and let us the people choose our destiny. We don't want your input.
Blair’s Legacy:- 1. Iraq War 2. Seven million immigrants 3. Devolution 4. ECHR Ratified 5. Building Regulations relaxed which led to Grenfell. Worst PM we ever had bar none.
@@fraserct533 Liz truss was couped in 40 days what did she even have a chance to do? Certainly didn't invade and destabilise a whole region. Don't be so partisan
Not sure why this is even a question, his stance on leaving British Soldiers suffering vexatious claims from PSNI over the past decades. Open borders with the EU, abandoned the low paid, needless wars in the Middle East. He should be prosecuted.
I cant stand blair thouands of british lifes lost in non sensical wars, changing demographics in britain all those iraqi people who have suffered the war on our friends in serbia the list goes on qnd on
During the New Labour era, ' The Establishment' became particularly sleazy, which I also pointed out at the time by sending a poem to the TLS. Hopefully, this does not count as hate speech, as I am only telling the truth.
The only thing about Blair was he was charming but his policies were quite weak. He was the start of that being rich was a goal to strive for however not much done for the poor. One page about how he made a mistake over Weapons of Mass Destruction is ridiculous. It’s like nothing to see here.
Just to raped up in the moment and we forget that we don’t even know how to handle the Welsh, Scottish Ireland issues and we think we can get it done in the Middle East!!? Mad
A lesser-known part of Tony Blair's legacy that has once been explained to me is that after his terms as Prime Minister, he was engaged by Nursultan Nazarbayev to basically help improve Kazakhstan's finances. The result was massive capital flight, financial problems for Kazakhstan, and a notable increase of Mr Blair's (and probably his associates') bank account(s) on the Virgin Islands (or a similar location). Now this was presented as probably Mr Nazarbayev's biggest mistake during his long time as Kazakhstan's President (keep in mind that after the fall of the USSR, this was the only country of the 12 that were in the Union till the end that didn't experience a massive demographic and economic loss through poverty and/or (civil) war - usually Mr Nazarbayev knew what he was doing better than his peers). Put bluntly, Kazakhstan at the time needed German engineers, not English bankers. But the implication remains: Mr Nazarbayev should have known not to hire a villain, ergo, Mr Blair as a villain was a known quantity at the time to those who paid close enough attention.
100000000000000000% A Villain SHOULD’VE been imprisoned for the way he screwed us all over!!!! Kier Starmer is worse though I really didn’t think it was possible!!!!
I worked at the Home office when he ruined the I migration caseworker job I was doing for my county’s safety. Never took him seriously the way he acted against our country.
There are a lot of gifted biographers out there. I would write how Tony Blair initially was welcome as hero and eventually how he was to become a villain.
Villain. No question about it. A lot of people think that Iraq is Blair's worst mistake - but as bad as that was, the main issue with his time in power is the huge damage he did to the institutions of the UK : the legal reforms(the Supreme Court), education, the common purpose training which has infected most of the businesses, charities and organisations of the UK, PFI deals, etc. These changes were very radical and moved the UK towards the kind of authoritarian Neoliberal culture it exists under now. It never got the media coverage that it deserved whilst Blair was in power.

Hero.........yes he is entangled with Iraq, but any prime minister of that time would have danced to the USA tune. Britain being insignificant! Tony Blair was/is a visionary and a leader by todays standards, but then anyone successful is probably going to be unpopular in Britain today, hence so many conservative un-elected prime ministers and elected as in Johnson and the mouth that is Farage!
