I'll give 1 reason why, he was a conduit for lies and deception by falsely accusing Saddam Hussein of possessing weapons of mass destruction. This caused a country to implode, 1,000,000 dead Iraqi's and the birth of alcaeda among other things

12 Tribes of Israel does not make up whatever God perceived for Mankind! We must learn and try to understand that Abraham was Father of Many Nations!

His second career as corrupt hasler is coming to an end as well.

Well said. Fully agree. His conduct has been disgraceful. The Iraq war cost millions of lives, the UK over £50 billion and destroyed countries like Iraq and Afghanistan that are rock bottom- thanks to Blair. He does everything based on expediency. For example, he was supposedly a staunch believer in the EU and climate change both now tossed aside to accommodate his conversion to Trump’s world view. There’s also his shady tax avoidance ventures. I can’t think of any PM, Labour or Tory, more discredited since leaving office. Along with Mandelson, he’s discredited Labour politics and the reason why I left Labour.

Not usually lost for words but I do think the word TRAITOR fits the bill for Blair and on one point it might be fair to remember the huge input from the late Mo Mowlem - Politics in the 'House' serves only the resident government successively! Whatever has been unleashed God Help us all !

Makes me wince. Probably about right.

“manic quest for private riches” this says all that should be told about TB (and his wife). No principles, no ethics, just money.

A proper Faustus. Sold his soul (catholic one) to the devil (Petey) many years ago.

Apparently he first tarnished it be becoming plural.

He wasn't real. Armando Ianucci told a story on Strong Message Here this week. He had written a skit for Blair and Steve Coogan (as Alan Partridge). Blair rehearsed the skit with Coogan, word perfect, but paying no attention to Coogan, all the time looking around the room, presumably in case anyone important had come in.

On Saturday mornings on radio 4 there used to be an item called inheritance tracks . The interviewee picks a song they’ve inherited and a song they want to pass on. A piece of froth and nice listening

Cheri Blair’s section had my skin crawling. The only truly nasty person I’ve heard in the slot. It explained a lot for me about her husband , along with his embarrassing memoirs ….

She came across that way in the documentary as well, I thought - very Machiavellian.

Incredibly sad. I’m one who thought Blair was the greatest PM since Labour existed.

Getting into bed with Trump exposes his lust for power, money & influence. Huge mistake
