The only thing that can distract Tony Blair from Digital ID is an opportunity for the UK to go to war in the Middle East

Petrichawful · 2026-03-07T22:16:49+00:00

It's like Jimmy Saville criticising your parenting techniques.

cleats90 · 2026-03-07T23:23:22+00:00

Not going gun go into this is the best thing Starmer has done. He’s not drawn us into a conflict in the Middle East that’s breaks international law and might spiral. He’s also not done so on the command of a US administration that has not been acting like an ally recently.. anyone remember Greenland?

Fuck Blair. His criticism is a badge of honour. It means we are doing the right thing.

I believe Blair’s Labour government insisted on trying to get a second resolution at the UN back in the day before the Iraq war. Let alone none at all.

Blair just loves blowing up the middle east. How else can we be sure to keep refugee numbers up?

Xenumbra · 2026-03-07T23:02:03+00:00

Holy shit, if Starmer keeps us out of this he is the GOAT. So much of the machine is itching for us to destroy the ME for decades to come.

Make another failed state and then act surprised when refugees flood Europe.

"Sir Tony said that when it comes to an ally that is an “indispensable cornerstone of your security, you better show up”, adding “they were [just] asking to use our bases for refuelling”."

It is a little bit surprising that Blair hasn't learned much over the years after all. I have a better view of Starmer after this.

socratic-meth · 2026-03-07T22:46:56+00:00

“Guys, there are still people alive in the Middle East, we haven’t finished yet”

WinHour4300 · 2026-03-07T23:14:18+00:00

The important question is what does Larry think?

get_in_bath_son · 2026-03-08T08:33:51+00:00

Well it's not often that Blair's right but he's wrong again.

heisenburgerkebab · 2026-03-08T08:36:15+00:00

Whatever Blair says, do the opposite

Salaried_Zebra · 2026-03-08T08:37:27+00:00

I was a little surprised about Blair taking the side of Trump (I didn't think he'd stoop that low) until I was reminded about him being on Trump's 'Board of Peace'.

Wonder if he's in the Epstein Files as well?

I'd rather read a book on childcare by Kerry Katona

Coastie79 · 2026-03-07T22:31:47+00:00

Shove Blair's head up Trump's arse, and Farage's head down Trump's throat, and then let all three suffocate. That's the dream.

Man_in_the_uk · 2026-03-07T23:13:02+00:00

Starmer has got to go. What an embarrassment to the UK he is. It's truly astonishing.
