Tony Blair and the rubbish he peddles

[Judgemental]

. Just failed to coincide my breathing with swallowing coffee there!

I like the way in a Radio 4 piece, it was said, "they were handed over to the Lord's Staff who made them comfortable for the day".

But the subject of this thread leaves me genuinely astonished.

Here is a man who was a successful Prime Minister leaving aside Iraq.

A man who has made huge amounts of money post PM, what is he doing wasting his time stirring things up and which he must realise will make him even more unpopular, with no prospect of promoting his misguided views. Other than mischief making.

Perhaps he wants to be made a Lord because the little wife wants to be a lady. So by kicking up a fuss he might be given a lordship.

Don't think that is ever going to happen and apart from anything else, there are so many questions about the legitimacy of the House of Lords and those who already populate the benches.

Frankly it would be surprising to see those questions exacerbated by adding any sort of 'cur-dog' .

The person who enacted the 2004 Hunting Act simply does not have any place in the House of Lords.

It'll take more than the bestowing of a peerage on him to make her a lady, I'd suggest.

It seems a poor way to set about achieving his ambition, yet I suspect that is what he would like. Better still, however, I suspect he wishes to be an EU Commissioner - perhaps even President of the EU. Quite conceivably, that might once have been within his grasp, regardless of his unpopularity here (which would have been no impediment whatsoever, as far as EU politics goes). Not now, however - sadly for poor Tony the vision of the glittering prize is receding daily ... he must be seething with suppressed fury and resentment. Hence his occasional outbursts.
