Tony Blair: UK may face 'interesting choice' over euro
Comments
-
Mr Blair said that the only thing that would save the single currency now was to have a "grand plan" where Germany was ready to commit its economy fully - "treating the debts of one as the debts of all".
The only thing that can save the EUR is full fiscal and political union.
A smaller EUR with full fiscal union is the likely first step on this road.'In nature, there are neither rewards nor punishments - there are Consequences.'0 -
He should be on trial in the Hague as a war criminal
Typical of the leftard BBC to give him a platform to spew out propaganda. Of course, Marr is married to the daughter of a Labour Lord, so he's on message night and day.0 -
Only the BBC take this discredited liar seriously.
The rest of us see him for the piously smarmy git he is.0 -
I thought he'd been quiet for a while; maybe he's got a book coming out or something.0

"When we judge or criticize another person, it says nothing about that person; it merely says something about our own need to be critical."
Blair has a valid viewpoint on this issue, whatever you might think of the man.Few people are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions which differ from the prejudices of their social environment. Most people are incapable of forming such opinions.0 -

That is one of the most idiotic statements to have appeared here in weeks (which is saying something).
Without criticism there can be no discernment. Without discernment we would believe the dangerous lies of any glib, self-deluded, Messianic charlatan who ran for office.0 -

True but my point is that we should criticise the ideas expressed not just call the man who makes them a smarmy git or a discredited liar.Few people are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions which differ from the prejudices of their social environment.

Tony Blair = He is definitely in La La Land!! An idiot of the first order.
Let's hear no more of him.0 -

Does one not point the way to the other? Nothing Blair says can be taken at face value. His character is such that commenting on what he says, without wondering what really lies behind it, is foolish.0 -

No, I think it just demonstrates that those who attack the man and not what he says have no credible arguments on the substantive issues as Littleweedj so eloquently shows.
Guess we will have to agree to differ!Few people are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions which differ from the prejudices of their social environment. Most people are incapable of forming such opinions.0
