More Tony Blair Words (Part 2)

Tony Blair, the former British Prime Minister, is famous for his ease with language. His communication skills are second to none. Here I have uploaded some recent examples, some with particular relevance to today's political issues and his recent party experience, and some just to show how Blair can handle ANY opponent, no matter how linguistically dexterous.

My blog "Keep Tony Blair For PM" -

http://keeptonyblairforpm.wordpress.com

- will still be around for a bit yet. Loads of videos and audios and pictures and information about Tony Blair on there, if you want to take a look. I got carried away a little!

Yes, I know he's going - I had noticed. But the vitriolic British press had to be countered somehow ... somewhere. And once I had started ... well, I just couldn't really stop!

brilliant video

[BlairSupporter]

Thanks ted552 -

Glad you enjoyed it.

"Some may belittle politics..." etc ...

Brilliant. I wish those who wish to throw away our democracy would face what might replace it.

We USED to have principled leadership in our country once, didn't we? Not to mention empathic humour.

Miserable place right now. And it's mainly, imho, the fault of the vitriolic press.

this is very moving! congrats Tony Blair you did the labour party proud, its so sad you had to leave with out his public being able to have our say!

[BlairSupporter]

I REALLY do not think that he would have been voted out, were the voters asked. But he'll go down in history as never having lost an election.

The Labour party must be having fits right now at their crazy decision to boot him out. He said there was one thing he hated about the Labour party - "losing". So right! Pity their memories were so short.

[BlairSupporter]

Agreed Andyc18. And nor will there be another Labour leader winning three elections in a row for a long time - if ever.

I still can't get over the arrogance of the Little People in his party who stabbed their winner in the back like this. Well, looks like they're getting their just desserts now.

I backed Blair, I didn't think he deserved the criticism he got, being prime minister for 10 years was an amazing feat and I can't see it being beaten for a very long time.

Gordon Brown's face at 3:04 -- HILARIOUS!

[BlairSupporter]

Hi scoutingcanb4girls - Yes, it says something about Blair that Cameron admires him so much and bases his own style and projection on Blair's. He will never equal the MASTER though. We KNEW exactly what Blair was about in 1997. So far, Cameron has said little or nothing about fighting international terror - possibly the greatest threat to the freedom-loving world. Blair coined "liberal interventionism" even as he hoped for "no wars in our lifetimes". Brown is proving a disaster, as I expected.

Odysseylive - WHY don't we need to wait for a jury? ARE YOU the judge & jury? Executioner too? You do NOT know he knew the evidence was sketchy. You choose to believe that. It suits your argument. ALL OTHER MAJOR COUNTRIES BELIEVED THE INTELLIGENCE, INCLUDING THE UN. Sorry to shout, but people like you are determined not to hear the truth, because you think you know it already. I think you are wrong, VERY wrong.

And retirement? Who are you kidding? He's only just begun. Cue for a song?

[Odysseylive]

We don't need to wait for the Jury, it was the wrong choice. I agree he didn't have a lot of choices but totally misleading the UK with evidence he knew at best was sketchy and worst was fabricated is just about unforgivable, as long as he STAYS in retirement we will leave it at that. I think Celine Dion Titanic would have been a better choice of slussy music for this video.
