Petition to make Tony Blair a Saint

[vetran]

Don't forget that he became a 'Peace Envoy' to the middle east in 2007 and since then most of it's been even worse than ever before. Of course, we should avoid 'post hoc ergo propter hoc', but I'd have been surprised if there'd been any other result.

I was rather hoping they would unite in their hatred of the grinning one and he would have a Salman Rushdie style existence as the Taliban etc chased after him. Stop them bombing each other for a bit.

We could always start a rumour about his habit of doing rude caricatures of a certain prophet on the walls of cottaging hotspots.

POTD for me.

I expect there's a gap in the market for a patron saint of *****.

Someone must like him though:

Blair led Labour to a landslide victory in the 1997 general election, winning 418 seats, the most the party has ever held.

The 43-year old Blair became the youngest person to become Prime Minister since Lord Liverpool became Prime Minister at the age of 42 in 1812. With victories in 1997, 2001, and 2005, Blair was the Labour Party's longest-serving prime minister, the only person to lead the party to three consecutive general election victories.

Interesting factoid, all his children hold Irish passports....

Interesting fact: The word "factoid" means something that is presented as a fact, but is unverified, made-up or inaccurate.

Blair's greatest crime was to make labour electable. Look what happened.

A Daily Wail headline?

Many were taken in by him.

Why would that be useful then? (maybe they will be chips off the old block for tax purposes?)

Voter apathy was to blame for the labour victories at the polls.
