Prescott on Blair's 'Crusades'

What else does he expect from the 'peace envoy'?

Anyway, it's a pity he's never mentioned any of this at the time but then maybe he didn't want to further embarrass his pathetic party.

Not a lot of love lost between those two.

Re: Prescott on Blair's 'Crusades'
 

I still want to see Blair arrested for war crimes.

Theres more chance of Ann Widdecombe winning a beauty contest.

Re: Prescott on Blair's 'Crusades'
 

He will get his punishment one day. If there is a so called after life i hope he ends up in the place where they stoke the fires for eternity :)

Re: Prescott on Blair's 'Crusades'
 

i'm afraid that only works on paper in reality dead's dead ,if he's due any punishment it should be dealt with now .

Re: Prescott on Blair's 'Crusades'
 

And Bush, but I'd like to see a more direct result.

Re: Prescott on Blair's 'Crusades'
 

:clap:

I am sure someone will get him in the end.

Re: Prescott on Blair's 'Crusades'
 

I'm sure Jihadi John would be only too pleased to do the honours given the chance.

Re: Prescott on Blair's 'Crusades'
 

Blah blah if he really opposed he should have had the courage of his convictions and resigned all this "Blair this Blair that" now doesn't change a damn thing and doesn't bring back some of the best people this country had so shove it where the sun doesn't shine Prescott. If only the Hague would issue a warrant for Blair I'd hobble down to London to perform a citizens arrest the man is the ultimate personification of smug.

Re: Prescott on Blair's 'Crusades'
 

I would join you. :tu:

Re: Prescott on Blair's 'Crusades'
 

I suspect a hell of a lot of other people would too!

Re: Prescott on Blair's 'Crusades'
 

So you don't like Blair then? ;) Can you also add Thatcher to the list? Both as bad as each other in their own way

Re: Prescott on Blair's 'Crusades'
 

Not sure about that - Thatcher didn't lie and spin her way to power and throughout her time in office. That subject's been done before however... ;)

Re: Prescott on Blair's 'Crusades'
 

When did Thatcher send thousands of men to there death based on a sexed up dossier and out and out lies. He committed a war crime and should pay the price ??

Blier lied and then was given the job of peace envoy to the middle east :rofl: , he's not done a very god joob of that ether has he as there are still people being killed because of his legacy.

Re: Prescott on Blair's 'Crusades'
 

I didn't realise Thatcher had to have commited the same "crimes" to be compared? As we're straying off-topic, let's agree to disagree regards the Blessed Margaret.

Maybe you should invite Dave to the trial?

Cameron backs Blair on Iraq war

Re: Prescott on Blair's 'Crusades'
 

Cameron was not prime minister at the time so why should he be charged.

Re: Prescott on Blair's 'Crusades'
 

So parliament including the Conervative party did not vote for and approve the war then?

Re: Prescott on Blair's 'Crusades'
 

On the basis of the information supplied by Blair et al.....

Re: Prescott on Blair's 'Crusades'
 

:tu:

Re: Prescott on Blair's 'Crusades'
 

Think things would've been any different, I don't, Tony and Dave are cut very much from the same cloth imo, neither will ever get my vote both snake oil salesmen

Re: Prescott on Blair's 'Crusades'
 

:tu:

Re: Prescott on Blair's 'Crusades'
 

Things have been differant however, did we not decide not to go running in to Syria. Could that be because no dodgy dossiers on chemical weapons and there deployment time were presented ??? :)

Re: Prescott on Blair's 'Crusades'
 

No thanks to Dave, he wanted us to go in, I've no doubt he would've got his way if he really thought it worth pushing just like Tony

Re: Prescott on Blair's 'Crusades'
 

Or just lied to get us in.;)

Re: Prescott on Blair's 'Crusades'
 

Exactly, if he thought it particularly advantageous to him he'd have done it, just like his clone did previously.

Re: Prescott on Blair's 'Crusades'
 

That i do agree with :tu:

Re: Prescott on Blair's 'Crusades'
 

You might still yet.

I'd vote for any party that made it happen for quite a few years to incidentally

He lied.

Re: Prescott on Blair's 'Crusades'
 

Bliar took the course of action he wanted to take in spite of the facts. It's quite clear that he'd promised Bush the UK's support so he just needed something to justify that support. Cue a dodgy dossier...

Re: Prescott on Blair's 'Crusades'
 

This country was lied too by blair as was parliament and it cost the lives of some of our finest there has to be a consequence for that we cannot just let it go or it will happen again the next time someone more interested in their ego then the good of the country holds the position again. It always struck me as an insult that he was made a peace envoy for the middle east given the questions that existed back then.

While i won't be ashamed of our military who were following their orders i am ashamed of the politicians involved in taking this country into iraq and if he lied to chillcot then charge him and prosecute him he should not just walk away pocketing cash from his time as prime minister. My opinion of politicians is not high and hasn't been for sometime but blair is the most reprehensible and shameful prime minister we have had in my lifetime.

Re: Prescott on Blair's 'Crusades'
 

^^ This.

Those with so much blood on their hands must be bought to book.

Re: Prescott on Blair's 'Crusades'
 

If i was to post what i would like done to him i would be arrested.

Re: Prescott on Blair's 'Crusades'
 

I am not quite sure what Blair can actually be arrested for though. The inquires stopped short of outright accusations of lying or criminal behavior. He as PM has the ultimate say in committing troops to a war and he also has a Parliamentary vote to back that. Give that the Attorney General unlikely to ever back a prosecution that sets a precedent for PM's being charged for decisions taken in office in the absence of a real criminal case.

The nearest I can see is that he is sent to a Hague for a crime of aggression under international law but then I also can't see other governments wanting to set such a precedent either.

Re: Prescott on Blair's 'Crusades'
 

upward of 3 million dead Iraqis would get it started

send him to Iraq to answer for his crimes .

Re: Prescott on Blair's 'Crusades'
 

There's no doubt blair lied and that he ordered others to lie and the fact that the system allows no recourse for his disgusting behaviour merely says more about the system then it says about anything else. He has tarnished the office he held and there should be mechanisms that punish for that and perhaps it's about time the system was reworked so that it can never happen again.
