    Good for Tony! You'd be surprised at how many young angry white males that spend all their time on forums whining about fighting terrorists, defending terrorists and in general support everything opposite of reality, would bitch, moan and cry because they were too lazy to get off their own ass and work.

    After all, how fair would it be if Tony Blair, one of the chief enablers of George Bush, didn't get in on the profiteering.

    LMAO Bush is the President GTech, surrounded by very clever people.

    You don't honestly think that Bush is not making way more than what he declares do you?

    If you do then you're even more crazy than I already think you are. :D

    Has no one heard about Defered Gratification?

    I have no objections to the money our (I am British) politicians earn, what I do object to is the lecture tours, book royalties etc that they undertake after they leave their jobs.

    As an EX-pm, 'Our Tony' will earn a handsome pension from our country and OUR TAX PAYERS, I feel that to then profit from the experiences (via lecture tours, books etc) that he has had at our expense (he has always drawn a salary - and quite rightly so) from his time as PM is wrong.

    Rightly or wrongly he took us to war, on a promise that was in many peoples eyes wrong. You have to accept that he now stands to profit (if he does the tours, books etc) from that promise.

    The whole concept of the after life of a PM (or President) leaves the last years of a leader open to question. Would Tony Blair have earned the same levels of 'royalties' that he is bound to earn if we had NOT gone to war? I doubt it.

    I am not saying that this was the reason but the 'new job' Tony maybe about to undetake leaves him open to this sort of criticism.

    There is no rightly or wrongly, he lied to the whole of the UK and has gotten away with it scott free.

    He also knows who killed David Kelly.

    But as I have said before he is untouchable, there is an awful lot of blood on Blairs hands, he's a scumbag so he'll live with that for the rest of his life. I don't think he gives a f**k about what people think of him buddy to be honest with you.

    He served his masters well.

    But you see, that's where you lose (IMHO) the argument, you believe you are so right in you opinions and that there is never any doubt.

    I was never party to the decision making process that was gone through, I never had the benefit of ALL the facts or non facts presented - so I cannot be sure, for definate, 100% right.

    That's the difference.

    It's not too difficult to see that Blair has pretty much lied a lot and been caught up in suspect activity during his entire tenure mate, this guy is a member here called Countryboy and he did an article on some of Blair's more dodgy moments of his disastrous tenure.

    Are you a "Blair Babe" buddy? :D

    So you are equating yourself to Tony? Because "pretty much" everything that comes out of your mouth (besides alex jones spinchter) is a lie, right?

    What the hell does a poodle have to do with Tony Blaire? If you are inferring that a Poodle is a lap dog - then you are mistaken. Poodles are quite large and are more associated with the French.

    Personally I dislike Blair for a totally unrelated issue involving vaccinations and the fact he didn't have his own kids vaccinated while allowing and promoting the rest of the British to get them - even though they contain a concauction that is likely to be causing the high rates of Autistic-Spectrum disorder. 1 out of 100 kids in America now show signs of Autism, and I honestly believe it is the vaccinations that contain thimerosal, - which is mercury. They claim it is safe - and yet with my own family member and chelation I have seen him go from being practically autistic to being almost normal - with lab results showing mercury being one of the things pulled out. Same with other children I have seen since I frequently get to meet others with these issues.

    http://www.healing-arts.org/children/vaccines/vaccines-mercury.htm

    The CDC doesn't like to address it except by saying thimerosal has "done no harm". They don't, however, wish to expose the truth because it would quite literally put the five major pharmaceutical companies out of business. Besides the fact that most the administration of the CDC have come from the very companies that make the vaccines... They stopped using it in vaccinations recently except with the flu vaccinations - however vaccines manufactured and stored still contain the chemicals. There's a ton of reasons why vaccines are harmful to small children - and they should not all be given at once and overload the immune system.

    In reality they should be given after the infant is capable with its own immune system - and then only done one at a time. Overloading the immune system is just plain stupid. That'd be like giving a grown man 8 vaccines in a day, and while his immune system is attacking this fake threat is misses real viruses and colds that could take hold and then make him very very ill.

    -- And that's why I don't like Blaire.

    I want the British to have another bulldog like Churchill. Mean, uncompromising, and absolutely wonderful.

    He's deffo a lapdog to Mr Bush.

    I agree with you about what you said about the vaccines, but his 45 minute WMD lie was a lot lot worse. The killing of David Kelly was disgusting and supporting Bush's BS war against the vast majority of public opinion is simply inexcusable.
