And the worst thing about it all, you end up going for the ones that you think are best of a bad bunch; the actual state of that.

Quoted Terrance Mckenna before, I'll echo his words again, "the least among us".

This bit

"life under the Blair administration was very very good."

You're larping, right, RIGHT? if you're being serious, so, being one half responsible for the death of 1.5 million Iraq's the last time I looked, secret court hearings away from the public gaze, PFI contracts on turbo power, turbo powered multi culturallism, practically an open border policy, removal of regulations that enabled in part the crash of 2008 by the big banks etc. You want me to go on?

Blair was and always will remain an utter, utter disaster in respect to this country. He's a war criminal that smashed the Middle East to pieces and spawned suicide bombers like those of 7/7 and all the others that have came since. But hey, don't let those misty eyes get in the way of reality, ami right m8?

Just voted the once, for this lot. Knew I was being a mug, just couldn't let the Labour loons get in. As bad as this lot are, and yeah, they're bad, actually a s4itshow bad, Diane Abbott as foreign secretary? My god

I'm under no illusions that they're all essentially the same, just different colours of the same s4it rainbow uni-party inc.

I'm not on about the war in Iraq though, I'm on about being a British citizen, it was a great time to be alive, we all know it.

I'd say it was a bad day for anyone caught up in it, but still late 90's early noughties was a great time to be alive, its undeniable.

It depends largely what was going on for you at the time I'd say.

The late 80's were best times I've so far experienced, and to a larger extent for the wider community. Unfortunately, what those good times were built on was a foundation of lies and deceit, the deregulation of financial markets which was fostered by Milton Friedman and exported over here and elsewhere from Merica. It all looked wonderful on paper, champagne corks popping left, right and centre, only a few years later, poof and as if by magik, castles made of sand, it came a crumbling down, rinse and repeat.

All of this is why I'd say they're (governments) are all the same. Nothing gets fixed, words get waffled, papers shuffled, same old, same old unfortunately. Tiresome, muchly.

May 2017 Manchester Arena. Libyan spawned terrorists that time TC, murdering mostly children. Wonder who led us into that part of the world to drop bomb's on certain people in that country. Spawning hatred. Mr Shiny Head himself Cameron.
Don't be so naive to think Blair is the first or last PM to send our forces to war around the world on half truths or in the "national interest" There's a very very long tradition of it.

True

And also bloody disgraceful

I think with Blair it's the blatant lie that was found out so very quickly. And the subsequent lack of either remorse or consequence

Nowadays that kind of behaviour gets you a guaranteed place in the cabinet of course...

He's got his mask on noj. And it seems he's trying to keep a 2m distance too.

Any truth in the rumours that he could be heard shouting 'I worked all through lockdown... ****in furloughed ****s.. '

Being 10 minutes down the road and knowing that area, I highly doubt this gentleman is in employment or aware of what furlough is. But I bet he did say the word ****
Odds on he doesn't have a vaccine either, unless he got one in jail
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
