Politics : Tony Blair calls for people to 'rise up' against Brexit

Tony Blair calls for people to 'rise up' against Brexit

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-38996179

'Tony Blair has said it is his "mission" to persuade Britons to "rise up" and change their minds on Brexit.

Speaking in the City of London, the former prime minister claimed that people voted in the referendum "without knowledge of the true terms of Brexit"'


Whilst he does make a good point, I think he underestimates just how fcking unpopular he is with the public.

I think Blair could turn more remoaners into Brexiteers than Eddie Izzard. The biggest democratic exercise in UK history and our most despised ex-prime minister thinks he has the credibility to pull this off?

Every day that passes project fear is being shown up for what is was FTSE 250, the real indicator of business growth is prospering because of the Brexit vote.

Doomsday doesn't work anymore.

Re: Tony Blair calls for people to 'rise up' against Brexit

I can't think of anyone less suited to the task he has set himself. Both sides were using "project fear".

As a leave voter this is awesome news.

Tony Blair saying people didn't know what they were voting for.

Re: Tony Blair calls for people to 'rise up' against Brexit



Good point. And I voted for that prick twice.

Yes he did and he's right.

Over a million people marched against the Iraq war and he ignored them and went ahead with it anyway.

Why would anyone listen to that assclown now?

Indeed. I was on that march.

Yes, we get it Tony, you're an a$$hole.

Re: Tony Blair calls for people to 'rise up' against Brexit

I get the impression he is hoping to rebuild his reputation, but the chance of that happening tends to 0.

Re: Tony Blair calls for people to 'rise up' against Brexit

With whom? Because he's doubling-down with the 'Not In My Name' crowd.

Re: Tony Blair calls for people to 'rise up' against Brexit

I think he has his long term reputation in history in mind.

May must be rubbing her hands in glee that this foul creature has assumed the mantle of anti-Brexit leader.

Re: Tony Blair calls for people to 'rise up' against Brexit

Yes, a reminder of how vile Blair is can only be of benefit to the Tories. It may even do Corbyn some good.

and Corbyn

Re: Tony Blair calls for people to 'rise up' against Brexit

We can only hope it does Corbyn some good (he's taken Brexit far more graciously than some others on the political left), but unfortunately I'm hearing that he's basically toast and counting the days down to his resignation.

Re: Tony Blair calls for people to 'rise up' against Brexit

I said as soon as Corbyn was elected that he was unlikely to be the leader at the next election and I still think that. Labour simply cannot win unless they convert a large number Tory and UKIP voters to Labour and I don't think JC can do that.

Re: Tony Blair calls for people to 'rise up' against Brexit

Just throwing this out there, but if he had actually considered that people might vote in favor of this in the first place, which it honestly doesn't seem he did, maybe he wouldn't be stuck here trying to get people to change their minds

Re: Tony Blair calls for people to 'rise up' against Brexit

He was long out of office before the Brexit vote. I think he did offer to help the Remain team but they didn't want himrather wisely!

Re: Tony Blair calls for people to 'rise up' against Brexit

What a patronising knob.

It's funny, because one poster here had a go at me for supporting Owen Smith and suggesting he'd have made a great Labour Party leader, on the basis that Smith had argued for a second referendum. But Blair, who this poster approved of, seems to be even more incapable of accepting the EU result.

Re: Tony Blair calls for people to 'rise up' against Brexit

I don't mind what Blair is doing, he's just absolutely the wrong person for it.
