The very existence of an EU President would legitimise EU edicts by the fact that he is elected.Originally posted by d000hg View PostIt's only the EU. What's the worst he could do?Comment

Hmm. We in the UK don't want an EU president, but if the rest of the Europeans tried to go for it what would they think of his candidature?
On one hand he is mealy-mouthed and he sees it as his destiny.
On the other hand, he is quite obviously unintelligent.Comment

I don't think that's even slightly true. He might be self-motivated, greedy and evil - you can make cases for those - but he's clearly not dumb.Originally posted by Doggy Styles View PostOn the other hand, he is quite obviously unintelligent.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

He's not dumb. But he is a self-serving tulip-bag who deserves nothing than a kick in the happy-sacks.Originally posted by d000hg View PostI don't think that's even slightly true. He might be self-motivated, greedy and evil - you can make cases for those - but he's clearly not dumb.
It was all smoke and mirrors, as we found out as soon as the money disappeared.Comment

Vile little man.
I, for one, would like to see the heads of both him and his ghastly wife on spikes over Traitors Gate.Comment

No, and the EU has enough problems without Tony B Liar, thankyou.Originally posted by Doggy Styles View PostBut first he's wangling a vacancy to apply for.
Tony Blair: the EU needs a president (Torygraph)
I've never heard anyone say an EU president would be a good idea. Does anyone here in CUK think it's a good idea?And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014Comment

Ooooh, let's see. Bankrupt the countries that aren't yet bankrupt, start wars based on abject lies while selling Europe down the river to Putin or some other tulipebag, appoint Gordon to sell all the gold, yes, he could make things a lot worse.Originally posted by d000hg View PostIt's only the EU.

Well I know the Germans don't particularly like him (as in can't effin' stand him) so thats a plus point for them and they'll block any attempts in his getting this role...“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment

I have always respected our Teutonic cousins and in this they seem absolutely spot on.Well I know the Germans don't particularly like him (as in can't effin' stand him) so thats a plus point for them and they'll block any attempts in his getting this role...
Blair is Biblically evil in my opinion. But also very very clever, I must admit.Comment
