That's very unfair.

What would have been your policy then once Catholics were being attacked in NI?

The only thing I personally criticise is the half in, half out policy....which was doomed to failure from the start.

If you fight, you fight to win, otherwise get the feck out of there.

The British state put its soldiers into a situation with one arm tied behind their backs. Soldiers aren't Police.

Then they betray them and persecute them, while those who murdered our boys go back home.

Feck them to hell.

Really?

In reality that was your beloved Blair....who gave them their own parliaments.

That literally started the countdown to separation.

An inevitable eventuality now.

Why would a self declared communist give a feck about the union anyway?

I repeat breaking the UK up into four different parliaments makes separation inevitable and only a question of time.....Brexit might hasten it or it might not....makes no difference in the longer term.

Sure, you can argue otherwise but I don't regard that as rational myself.

I'm sorry for your loss and yes it was a nice gesture by the club and fans.

One more point

That is true on so many levels.

Blair would have managed the Covid response with a much greater clarity of purpose and calmness.

I also cannot imagine Brexit happening had he been PM, rather than Cameron. Indeed, if he had remained as PM and not resigned in favour of Brown, Labour would likely have been able to form the coalition with the Lib Dems, rather than the Tories. Then UKIP would have probably split the Tory Party, there would have been no referendum, and we would all (minus a few on here) be happier and safer.

Ifs and buts I know, but Blair's abilities are as much undervalued by some here, as Jordan Ayew's are in Palace Talk.

For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally.

All irrelevant speculation.

To compare Blair with a footballer on any level is moronic, oh hang on........

Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance.
