Blair's legacy

Just your run of the mill British Labour leader. Nothing different about Blair to Attlee

 

[Louis MacNeice]

Liberalism has been the guiding had of human prosperity for hundreds of years, if not a millenia. The gibber buffoonary of socialistic bloodlusters does not discount it.

Why spoil it all with dross like this. You know it's nonsense (guiding light and millenia indeed!), I know it's nonsense, everybody knows it's nonsense; you're just making yourself look bad. Even trolling has to have an element of believability; I think you've well and truly 'jumped the shark' here.

Cheerio - Louis MacNeice

I was awake when Afghanistan and Iraq tore themselves apart through sectarianism, after which the free western world had to go in and clean up the mess. And you're a fascistist.

This doesn't make any sense. Here's a tip: abstain from drinking before launching yourself at the keyboard.

fascistist

Now you're resorting to made up words. Hilarious... but in a pathetic kind of way.

PMSL. Numptyism has been around much longer.

 

[Pickman's model]

My claims that liberalism, as stewarded by Tony Blair, has brought more peace and prosperty than sovietist socialism ever did is substantiated by, y'know, the state of the world as it exists.

utterly fucked, you mean

A Hyperion to a satyr.

A Hyperion to a satyr.

A good comparison, given that satyrs were notoriously primarily interested in sating their own lusts.

Yes Attlee has more blood on his hands. But all Brit politicians do including beloved Corbyn.

How are things in Aubane?

What are you referring to here? The partition of India? The end of Palestine?

They're not really comparable - Attlee inherited an empire and 'do nothing' wasn't an option. 'don't start any wars' was very clearly an option for Blair.

Beloved by whom?

 

[William of Walworth]

Tony Blair brought the Labour Party back from the hinterlands (a place Commisar Jeremy Corbyn apparently feels a fondness for). He brought the LP from the fringes of far-left lunacy and into the workable centre, and because of him we had 10 years of peace and prosperity. He's a genuine hero to anyone who values concrete political change - a virtue slowly being lost in our loony left/right times

And you think you're being 'reasonable' there do you?

See bolded bits above...

 

[William of Walworth]

Got to be a troll. We appear awash with them atm.

Given the way the world is going, perhaps a liberal troll under the bridge in order to stop the march of blood soaked socialism is needed.

And that's the giveaway!

Bollocks, the above was back on page 5. I often respond to shit two or more pages late without realising that the thread has expanded so much

Malaya for one.
