Tony Blair accused of 'arrogance' over call to 'rise up' against Brexit
The former PM is attacked after saying pro-Europeans should "rise up" and persuade opponents they were wrong about Brexit.

" The former PM is attacked after saying pro-Europeans should "rise up" and persuade opponents they were wrong about Brexit. "

"For crying out loud shut your bloody gob and sod off will you. No one likes you money grabbing git! "

Does not mean he's wrong though.

"The Brexiteers' idea that the EU would bend over to accommodate every possible desire of the UK just because Germany wants to keep selling BMWs in Britain was ludicrous from the start. Nobody is interested in a trade war, but British PM May has already stated that anything but a "hard Brexit" is absolutely unrealistic to expect. And even then it's going to require a hell of a lot of goodwill from everybody at the table to make even that work."

It's more about that git trying it on and not for the first time he has tried that since running off knowing full well the crash was on the way.

UPDATED TODAY BELOW

Listening to a few radio call in stations and 99% of the callers are sick to death with Blair and not all those callers voted leave, plenty of remain voters put the boot in on Blair. One caller said..Oh so its not on we protest about the Iraq war when he was PM but now its ok for Blair to demand a riot against democracy..That was a remain voter.

Even the 1% only agreed to a point and most of them rather see Blair go away.

Who is looking forwar to next Friday as the results of the by-elections in Copeland and Stoke-on-Trent Central will bw known? I am, that is for sure.

Funny there seems to be very little courage in the media on these two by-elections.

Oberon · 02-18-17, 09:17 AM

Yeah, Blair really should just keep quiet, he's about as popular as a turd in a swimming pool in British politics, and as for the whole 'uprising making the government listen', well it sure made his government listen when the biggest protest in UK history marched against the Iraq war, eh?

That being said, his attempt to be a rallying point for the 48% is a bit admirable, but just the wrong guy for it.

I never knew they had a lack of direction, I was understanding they had no direction.

Agreed

This could put a spanner in the works for UKIP at the Stoke Central by-election.

UKIP officials quit party because of 'crass insensitivity' over Hillsborough
The pair say recent remarks from party figures about the 1989 tragedy have been "upsetting and intolerable" for victims' families.

http://news.sky.com/story/ukip-offic...rough-10775207

I have been hearing if Nuttall looses which looks like a seat up for grabs big time and should fall to UKIP remains in Labours hands he could be forced out as UKIP leader.

Jimbuna · 02-20-17, 12:45 PM

Nuttall has apologised but I doubt that will be the end of the matter, especially after donor Arron Banks later tweeted he was "sick to death" of hearing about Hillsborough.

Yes I think they will dig their claws deeper into UKIP, depending how much and how will the media pick up on it as well.

Jimbuna · 02-21-17, 06:27 AM

I reckon the press are witing with baited breath to have a right old pop at Jeremy and his circus.

The Tory plot to oust Commons Speaker John Bercow has failed miserably, Just five MPs backed a no confidence motion targeted at the Speaker.

http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...peaker-9862770

"Conservative former minister James Duddridge, who tabled the no confidence motion, admitted it had attracted “underwhelming support”. But he insisted the issue was “unresolved” and should be debated and voted on".
These bloody idiots have too much time on their hands, those 5 MPs should all resign immediately and get a bleeding proper job, a job that involves doing some actual work instead of poncing off the taxpayer for doing nothing.
