Tony Blair's legacy is Fallujah

Tony Blair's legacy is Fallujah. He has squandered the hopes of a generation


Well this was an event for Rose Gentle and other parents of servicemen and women killed in Iraq, as they say guns don't kill people politicians do.

Political parties and governments are one thing but struggle at the grassroots by people opposed to war and other injustice is the real thing. Any support to the movements is vital, ambition towards political office is the crow road, political power is necessary but.....it all tends to go a bit Gollum with the radicals seduced, to think of Brown in the Red Scotland days is to learn an essential lesson.

Incidentally a guy came up to me and said 'you are the leader of the Green Party and I claim my £5', had to put him right on that one.

Blair what a time we had, I never was a new labour fan and pretty critical of old labour, but never thought in 1997 after the end of that long tory era we would get another tory, albeit one with an added ingredient,added war.

Tony Blair Middle East envoy, the man is a fool. His legacy a mountain of burning skeletons.

Gordon Brown will carry out the wishes of the military industrial complex a little more effeciently is the long and short of my analysis.

To paraphrase John Lennon 'they are all fucking arms dealers as far as I can see'.




Greens: Blair 'a Conservative in all but name'

The Green party have offered a damning assessment of Tony Blair's decade in power, accusing him of being "a Conservative prime minister in all but name".

As Tony Blair was packing up his belongings in Downing Street, Green party principle speaker Derek Wall was on the street outside at a protest organised by military families who had lost their loved ones in the war in Iraq.

Mr Wall said: "Who would have thought that Blair would have been the best friend of George Bush, the US's most right wing and least competent president in history?

"Who would have thought that Blair would have given us war after war, House of Lords sleaze, an accelerating climate change crisis, and an out-sourced, market driven NHS?

"This organisation's members are those who lost loved ones in Iraq, and they have repeatedly been denied an audience with the former prime minister," he continued.

"They serve as a final reminder of Tony Blair's true legacy.

"Tony Blair's legacy is Fallujah. He has squandered the hopes of a generation."

Mr Wall held out little hope for Mr Blair's successor.

"Gordon Brown will press ahead with nuclear power, airport expansion, road building and full on support for the arms trade," he said.

"He has not learnt the lesson that you can't eat money."
