Blair - as slippery as ever



Afghanistan: Tony Blair says US and UK troops should have stayed put 'to see it through' as withdrawal could lead to UK 'security threat'

Tony Blair's comments come a day after he published a 2,700 word article on Afghanistan in which he referred to President Biden's decision to withdraw troops as "imbecilic"...

He urged leaders to "hold firm" against people who are hostile to Western interests, even when the decision to do so divides opinion.

I see - so maybe not allowing anything resembling hostile or even problematic cultural norms into the country - that would have been a good place to begin. Anything else would have been "imbecilic" perhaps.

It's difficult to think of anyone who has been more hostile to Western interests than Anthony Blair.

Ah yes. Anthony Charles Lynton Blair, aka Miranda Address The Cottage, Bow Street. Gave up a promising career as cross dressing guitarist, to sully himself among scoundrels.

Wasn't he some sort of 'envoy' to the Middle East once?

Nice earner with all those contacts - usually very, very rich despots.

Wasn't a Charles Lynton arrested and charged with cottaging some years ago? Of course, nothing to do with Tony ' I'm a genuine bloke' Blair, man of the people.

Sam - good point. I tried to think of someone but it isn't easy.

Doonhamer - turned out to be profitable sullying though.

Scrobs - nobody seems to know how rich he is but multiple homes is a good clue.

Penseivat - could be but nobody really seems to know if it's true or not.
