Blair today, Blair tomorrow.
As Prime Minister of Britain, Tony Blair presided over the greatest influx of eastern Europeans this country has ever seen. Despite New Labour’s promise to control numbers in its 1997 manifesto, between 2001 and 2011 the foreign-born population increased by 3.8 million. Some 7.5 million people living in England and Wales were born abroad.
Since their country joined the European Union in 2004, hundreds of thousands of Poles have come to Britain to work – there is a reason why I am singling out the Polish ‘contingent’. Despite the Polish reputation for honesty and commitment to hard work, there must also be a reason why the Metropolitan Police find it necessary to maintain a Twitter account in Polish…it’s not all been plain sailing with our new entrants to the ‘British family’.
That the Polish people were grateful to Tony Blair for making it possible for them to work here and boost the coffers of families back home was evidenced when he was hailed for backing Polish efforts to join the European Union, opening up Britain to Polish workers – Blair was honoured with a special prize for his support of Poland during the annual Polish Business Leaders’ Awards in Warsaw.
Meanwhile, when he was finally unseated from his ceaseless attempts to foment unrest in Britain, he went off to become ‘Middle East Peace Envoy’. Following the ‘success’ of the Iraq invasion, Blair as Peace Envoy watched over the 2008 Lebanon conflict, the South Yemen Insurgency, the 2011 Egyptian Revolution, the uprising in Bahrain, the 2011 Yemeni revolution, the Syrian Civil War, the Sinai Insurgency, the Yemeni Civil war – and I haven’t even mentioned ISIS or moved further round North Africa to peaceful spots like Tunisia or Libya. It doesn’t bear thinking about if we hadn’t had such an effective Peace Envoy…
Eventually even former British ambassadors were pleading for him to desist in his peace efforts…
Akiva Eldar, a seasoned Israeli journalist who writes for the Al-Monitor website, said that ‘if you judge by results, they are below zero’, adding that ‘the atmosphere between Israelis and Palestinians is getting worse’.
Blair brushed off the complaints – yet a brief few weeks later he suddenly announced he was going to stand down this month. Sighs of relief all round.
Not for long. Remember the gratitude of the Poles? Hmmn.
Aleksander Kwasniewski, former President of Poland, has been in charge of the European Council for ‘Tolerance and Reconciliation’. He stood down yesterday – to make way for – tra la la! Tony Blair as Chairman…for an undeclared fee.
Yes, Blair is going to bring his own special brand of peace and love back to Europe. In the blink of an eye, we will all be ‘dancing like an Egyptian’, throwing homosexuals from the top of tower blocks, beheading anybody who doesn’t worship Allah, and smashing up the British Museum.
He’s done it before. He can surely do it again.
What was that song Labour were so fond of? ‘Things can only get better’?

When they’re not busy with those they are launching “a new program of tolerance across Europe”:
“The European Day of Tolernce [sic] was a two-day [double-sic] event (09-10 November) in 2008 in the seat of the European Parliament in Brussels.”

The Jews seem to be quite well represented on this strange whatever-it-is. A cursory glance at the EU Parliament only turned-up a single question being asked – strangely enough by the BNP’s Nick Griffin. He wanted to know if EU money was going towards the ‘push for tolerance’. It wasn’t.

For those of us who keep a lazy eye on the EU, this is a significant appointment. The EUCTR (or whatever the official acronym is) are spearheading a huge and very frightening move to make it criminal to disagree with the thing we call political correctness, right across the EU. They released one of those framework documents that most of the internet ignored in 2012, which declared that there should be a crime of “group libel” and the list of “groups” who could be libelled is the usual suspects; I read about it in the Manosphere because the list of things it will become illegal to be includes “anti-feminists”. It is basically consolidating the patchy “hate crimes” laws into one absolutely oppressive package, in which it will become illegal to even criticise “PC” policies, theories or claims.
It is highly significant that a man of Blair’s profile has been put in charge of this, rather than some unknown. This is very scary.

True–this is a worrying development. However the creature is already a widely-hated cunt–known as a liar and a double-dealing sociopath. If he had been appointed to this role in the “glory” days of 1997 he would be far more dangerous. However there would seem little point in putting forward a highly divisive and widely-hated twat-turd to the job. I can think of few people more guaranteed to increase and harden opposition to this tyrannical shite than Bliar.

So you think that–before a referendum– they are going to say” Right we control what you can and can’t say now and any speech we don’t like is gonna get you jail time” Before a referendum on whether to get out or not?.
I wish they would–it would undo a million pronouncements by the BBC and all the other twats.
And of what use are Bliars “contacts” ? “Oh Hello–it’s Tony here. Look we are thinking of making any non-PC speech a criminal offence and I wondered if you would like to help? Hello?….Hello?”

Very scary is the right description of this possibly powerful position. I distrusted the man before he was ever elected in 1997. Never has any ‘statesman’ ever presided over such a blood letting mess as the Middle East is currently suffering and has experienced while he was their man of ‘peace’? Secretive, venal, hiding his powerful backers from clear view. Will he ever come a cropper? Or is ordinary man going to gagged from saying anything or doing anything perceived to be against the various self interest groups who have given their ‘rights’ over the last few years. I have nothing against any of these groups, apart from the tricksy way they use those rights. That includes some very tricksy Scottish persons. Many of these rights were doled out by Blairs’s lot in the 13 debt accumulating years in power. We will end up as the oppressed majority while those with ‘rights ‘ strut it over us. Even daring to say you cannot comprehend someone’s regional accent will probably be actionable!

Fair comment Mr Treen.
Having lived & worked in foreign parts myself, by invitation mainly, it always seemed to me to be a basic courtesy to either fit in, language included, or keep a low profile & clear off promptly once done. And while I may have a view about the Brit pensioners in Spain, I guess they are all net contributors to the local economy, both in income & capital. Similarly the ruined French farmhouse restorers, from what I saw of family who did just that. Yes I have seen the ill-mannered ‘on the black’ Brits too, but not too many.
This courtesy cannot happen when millions are encouraged. Social engineering on this scale in a mature society such as ours was bound to be troublesome.
We will be deluged with reports of the alleged benefits of immigration & our imminent economic collapse due to an ageing population if we don’t pump up the birthrate through young immigrants etc……..
It’s going to be worse than the election, much worse, & very dirty.

The 3 election victories of Anthony Bliar led to the transforming of England into something quite different to what it had been. The consequences of Blair are something it can never “recover” from. Blair was the vacuous and smirking voter friendly front man for creatures like Straw and a whole gang of “former”Marxist radicals – the reason why I (without having much affection for the Tory government) so dreaded the student union of the 60s and 70s getting their mitts on the levers of power.

Surely the following about his armed-guards can’t be correct?
“Up to a dozen employees of Tony Blair Associates travel with him on his many jaunts. Their job is to scout locations in advance, fix meetings and dinner arrangements, introductions and ensure everything goes smoothly.
He is guarded by at least 12 publicly-funded armed Metropolitan Police protection officers who often stay in the same five-star hotels.
It means the taxpayer could be paying up to £16,000 a week to help the former Prime Minister build his business empire.”
