Tony Blair: He’s been cunted many times, but he needs a special Christmas cunting for polluting the airwaves on Radio 4 (The World at One) yesterday – he is an overpaid, underworked dishonest, fantasizing, lazy, decrepit, greedy, troublemaking oily heap of shit. He still wants Brexit reversed because he is as much up the arse of Juncker as he was George W Bush. He seems to believe he is some sort of Messiah (when he is more than just a naughty boy). He is a self-serving, opportunistic motherfucker who would grovel to anybody who could help him get power again.
He looks, sounds and behaves like a raddled old queen.
Blair you cunt fuck off back to your dictators to give your shit advice to, and take your group of ageing crawling cocksuckers with you. is a cunt online post, W C Boggs 6th December 2017
In 2003 Tony Blair and George Bush started to spread this freedom to Iraq. Three coaches of day trippers set off for the US military base in Fairford, Gloucester, to protest against the war. On the way there they were pulled over for a routine traffic stop by over a hundred police in riot gear. The officers held them for two hours and searched every nook and cranny. The operation unearthed some paper masks, scissors, and several toy soldiers. Taking Liberties, 2007
New Labour started to pass more laws than any other government in history … To protect the nation from terror the Blair government passed a series of laws that also undermined our basic liberties. ibid.
Freedom of Speech means sometimes having to listen to things you don’t want to hear. Tony Blair got round this problem at the Labour Party conference by banning any mention of the Iraq war. ibid.
