I'd prefer Tony Lay-her.

Biggins · 21-08-2010 01:01PM

No, I won't.
If I want to read a book thats one sided, part possibly fictionalised and a vain attempt at possible public redemption, I'd buy Berties book instead - thankfully however I'm not that desperate to read such drivel - in either case.

You mean he'll sign something without Dubya's approval?

why, have you run out of loo paper?

biko · 21-08-2010 03:20PM

I need something to stand on when I aim at Thatcher.

Irish Guitarist · 21-08-2010 03:23PM

I don't like warmongers so no. Also if he writes as slowly as he delivers a speech it would take all day to get the book signed.

Hank_Jones · 21-08-2010 04:47PM

Tony Blair? Emm no.

Still pissed off that I missed Pele's book signing though.
Had a few too many the night before and couldn't get out of bed.
Really regret that.

Yes I'm going to go and ask him to sign his book for me

"To Kfallon, best wishes, the war criminal"

You'd be out of luck.
According to Easons rules, there is no personalisation of books when being signed.

You can leave in the war criminal bit though! :pac:

I supported Tony Blair up until he blindly followed Bush by sending British troops into Iraq, blatantly ignoring the calls of the majority of the British people, the million-strong march through London on February 15th 2003 and the calls from more than half of his own party, "For God's sake, stop and think!"

When I heard the news the next day that Blair was still going to war, my first thought was, "Well, you can go to hell, Blair!"

And that's still my thought today.

Well, he became a Catholic, so that should keep the Dublin Mafia happy. He had to wait till he was out of office before officially admitting it and converting since, as his spin doctor Alistair Campbell once said, "We Don't Do God" in the UK. Openly religious politicians are viewed with suspicion, and we now know that Blair's beliefs were a factor in his decision to help invade Iraq. It's one thing to be wrong, but it's another thing to be wrong for the wrong reasons. I won't be there.

Oliver1985 · 01-09-2010 11:50AM

Anyone get this book today? If so how much you pay for it?

kfallon · 01-09-2010 12:00PM

What's the title of it, "101 Ways to Start an Unholy War" by any chance???

You can't blame his Catholicism for his decision to go into Iraq, especially as it's not viewed as a just war by the church.

I was, with my parents and brothers, on that march in London in 2003. The view of the British people was quite clear, we should never have gone in. He reportedly worried about his 'legacy'. His legacy will be the unnecessary death of hundreds of thousands of innocent people. I wouldn't go near his book, there won't be an ounce of truth in it.

I wouldn't piss on him if he was allergic to piss.

A truly memorable 1,000th post sir, I salute you!

Fratton Fred · 01-09-2010 12:10PM

why am I experiencing a sense of deja vu??

I liked Tony, I even thought he was right to go into Iraq, but that all proved to be a lie and in hindsight was a terrible thing to do.

He did a lof for the UK, patching up a lot of what the Tories did and he managed to get the GFA signed, which was a bit of an achievement.

i think he actually did quite a bit of good, but it is, rightly so, overshadowed by the Iraq war.

I hate him more than I hate Thatcher (which I once wouldn't have thought possible, but there ye go)
