Tony Blair, Saint? Or Just Planning Future Memoirs


So I was reading the paper the other day and I came across an article that said Tony Blair now wants to dedicate his time to uniting the major religions of the world. “How funny is that?” I thought to myself and then I started to get angry. Now I probably shouldn’t because the idea of all the major religions of the world burying the hatchet and living in peace and harmony is fantastic. It is about one of the best things that could happen. Not however if Blair has anything to do with it and I’ll tell you why.

There are gigantic credibility issue here with old Tony. Firstly, this is the man who has alienated the Muslim world. He has started and supported two wars in Muslim countries which have had dire consequences upon world peace and stability. He lied about the reasons why Iraq was invaded and conquered and failed all objectives of the exercise other than removing Saddam Hussein from power and this life. He has blood on his hands and lots of it.

He has also spent 10 years running the UK into the ground. He delivered on none of his promises to the people he has been leading and if you ignore the propaganda, the standard of life has deteriorated consistently and measurably during his regime. He is hot air and no substance.

I think he is probably tired of being Condoleezza’s PA in the Middle East, where as far as I can see, he has achieved nothing either. This is not a man who can deliver. This is a man who likes to pose for cameras and tell people what they should be doing because he says its right. He is obsessed with his legacy and realising that he has done nothing for the world other than give it war and misery, he appears to have finally tipped over the edge of sanity and into total fantasy (which I would like to add, he always appeared dangerously close to).

If this was anyone else saying that they wanted to unite the religions of the world, I would probably be a little bit inspired. With Tony, I fear that all it is however is an excuse to jet around the world at our expense meeting celebrities and world leaders to provide him with enough material for another biography. Like Jordan and the Beckhams, I think we are going to be subjected biographies every couple of years from Blair as he continues to try and reinvent and repackage himself in order that we should love and worship him. Can we not just save a bit of money and let him have a big statue somewhere for a couple of years so we can finally see the back of him and can someone noteworthy and at least halfway credible (nobody pictured above need apply) please get involved in his plans before he inadvertently brings forth the Armageddon.
