I think he may well be right.

I rackon Gordon should go non-dom straight away.

In Helmand Province, Afghanistan.

If that's true, we need to uregently look at stricter border control so the hypocritical smary tt doesnt get back into the country . . . . . . . It would also mark the start of the total destruction of the scum labour party

There's no evidence cited and I find it hard to believe that even Blair would be so brazen as to try that one, it would be a spectacular own goal.

How? He has no further use for the Labour party, as far as I can see.

Does he care though?

Genuine question.

Seems to me that since he left office he's hardly been heard of in the UK. I get the feeling that, given the chance, he'd like to disappear to America and be shot of the UK.

He MAY be right. But as far as I can see he has no evidence that this is the case.

Sorry,I read that as "Shot in the UK"...

Could be a sniffing out kite flyer. Or Mr Fawkes (PS) has evidence and is keeping some gunpowder dry - pun intended.

There's also that story about Brown knowing all about risk taking in banks and turning a blind eye, with juicy details i.e direct evidence still being held by that sacked Risk Manager, at HBOS iirc. It's all gone quiet on that one.

It would be a good thing to have both BLiar and the Clown hit with a double whammy in the build-up to June 2010.

Not a chance of going anywhere in a hurry whether from or to a God-forsaken place with Brown in charge of everything including transport

I think he would care - I don't think his ego could take being openly and universally hated in the UK, by the public and Labour Party alike.

Anything is possible though....

[Mclovin]

i'm surprised a lot more of the public arent disgusted by the man.....

[silver.fox.2008]

I think Blair see's himself as above UK politics.

He seems to be playing ball in a bigger field.

You and me both, but he stepped out of the spotlight just as things were turning pear-shaped and left Brown take the heat. He's been happy to globe trot and stay out of the UK ever since, as he's happy for us to associate his tenure with happier(!) times.

I thought he was due to be "our man" at the head of Europe.....

Unlikely. He isn't quite the laughing stock that Brown is on the continent, but he isn't popular either- we don't hear much about them, but many EU countries have 'engagements' of some sort in Bliar's wars...

He may do but it will be colder than advertised by the met office if he does

The last meeting between Meltdown and Beelzebub really pd on Old Nick's bonfire as Winky slapped a climate change levy on the fires and closed down all the brimstone mines for diversity transgressions plus health and safety violations.

Didn’t Cherie mention that the kids all have Irish passports?

Is there a benefit of any sort by having an Irish passport over an english one? Or is it just an irrelevant comment

No matter what you think of the man you can't deny he is very good at looking out for himself very very good

If you go to Israel some of the Arab countries get funny about letting you in - they see the Israeli visa in your passport. So, if you have two passports, you can avoid this.
