"Brexit voters’ concerns about “pressure on services”, “downward pressure on wages” and “cultural integration” now “cannot be ignored”, he said.


Amazing that those widely voiced concerns were ignored and overridden by the same man and his cronies for ten years, while the country fractured.

But the new report by Mr Blair's Institute for Global Change says EU nationals should already have an offer of work when they arrive.

So they are still free to take jobs and drive wages down, the bloke needs to go away.

Not sure who's worse, the Beeb for giving him air time or the man himself. What a total plonker.

Where's Andrew Neil when you need him to roast this turnip.

What's even more horrednous is that he says all this bile with a straight face.

Almost everybody who wants to castigate Blair for the Iraq war is a hypocrite - what were you saying at he time? Who did not endorse it on the Tory side? Certainly not the PM. And where were you, at the time of the protests, actually?

Regardless of how you view the Blair administration, the hard fact is that he is the one politician or ex-politician whose words are still reported in the wider world. So what he says matters a lot, maybe more than what Theresa May says tomorrow.

I think as far as any democracy goes he must be the most hated and least thought of former leader of any country. I couldn't think of any other former democratic leader who is so despied. His legacy will always be Iraq closely followed by allowing Gordon to take us the brink of bankrupcy and of course those good old PFI deals he signed off which mean our Grandchildren will stay be paying them off.

To cite this man to try and advance any cause shows how desperate and totally immoral the said individual must be.

It doesnt matter where people were or if they thought it Right or Wrong  to attack Iraq

They were Given a Load of Bollix about Weapons of Mass Destruction By the USA and by our own government I.e Blair .

How do you cover that one United ??

I dislike the Man  his decisions over the years have only added to that Dislike ..

Why would he have said the Opposite ??

Himself and Bush  have the Blood of Millions on their Hands, Saddam was no threat other than to his own People ,But why out
of all the Dictators was He and Iraq Targeted ?

Will those people who believed in Blair's erroneous open door policy now also accept it has harmed the country, and needs to stop. Can they admit they were wrong for so long?

The only PM who ever stood up to the USA was Hugh Grant in Love Actually. The only MP who sacrificed his office for opposition to the Iraq war was Robin Cook. No Conservatives then, no Conservatives ever.

How we could do with a Robin Cook now. Someone to tell us that the path we are following is a disaster. Unfortunately nearly all MP's are more worried about their own jobs. Blair was totally wrong about Iraq but he has been correct on EU immigration. It has enhanced our country, certainly not harmed it.

Blair was right on the Iraq war, wrong on immigration.

And don`t believe he wants to stop free movement of people or `manage` immigration, he doesn`t.
he is merely determined to find a way to go against the wishes of the British people and keep us in the EU.
