that change allowed for life peers (people who are in untill they die and their children do not get the seat) and some (if not all?) are selected by the PM
this means the lords ends up with peers beholden to political parties when previously they were not
God. Who would have thought that passing multiple bills per day for 8 years would fuck the country up so much?
The Lotus Eaters have it right. If the Conservatives were worth the air they breathe, they'd be repealing everything Blair ever did, as a matter of policy.
I would like to thank Tony for coming out in support of this position and thus cementing it as the most horrible possible option- like every other idea he's ever proposed.
When do they start denying breathing loicences to the unvaccinated? It's not discrimination to deny air to the unvaccinated, because discrimination has a very loaded meaning in the English language.
...and succumbing to despair helps us how? That, by the way, is if these people are actually as smart and powerful as you think they are, which they really aren't.
I know that if we resist with overt hostility first, we will be branded terrorists, isolated, rights deprived and made out to be the villains and further solidifying their "see we are the right cause" message.
They know this, and are hesitant to pull the trigger, so they're still trying to boil the frog while avoiding giving anyone a clearcut reason to rebel.
I’m actually glad to see talk like this in this forum.
This is a good place to keep up to date on culture war happenings, but the comment section is always such a doomer pit, a mass of self-defeatists feeding off each others’ misery under the guise of declaring themselves realists.
He's never really gone away. When Brexit looked increasingly inevitable and the Brexit party started making gains, Blair was stirring on the periphery talking about getting back into politics to try and prevent catastrophe for him and his globohomo EU goons.
You can attribute Corbyn's destruction largely to the Blairite/Corbynista split in that party, where types like Blair, Mandelson and Alastair Campbell have remained active prodding the Labour party and the media via their channels from the shadows. It's not too dissimilar to the Clinton cabal vs Sanders struggle in the US, with the neoliberal warmonger establishment always poised to win against naive socialist old coots.
Blair makes me want to fucking puke, but he got a standing ovation from all parliament when he stepped down from PM, which shows how cucked both sides of the aisle really are. The public can do nothing to prevent his vile rictus from repeatedly being shoved onto screens long past the point when he should have been politically neutered, just another symptom of how fucked the country is and how much the populace is held in contempt by its ruling class.
The word "discrimination" has a very loaded meaning in the English language now - Tony Blair
What a weasel.
The presenter was so close to getting the whole two-tier discrimination thing as well, but then suddenly only cares about it because visible minorities want the vaccine even less than everyone else does, so it's obviously racist or something.
A war criminal speaking at that BBC.
and he fucked up the house of lords with his shitty reforms
He brought in Peerages, right?
among other things

I would have thought they would feel more empowered to do so they have been taking away labour home turf like mad afterall
Unfortunately, there's a difference between winning elections and actually being able to figure out where your ass is and whether your head is up it.
Well they did alienate them, look at them now.
Remember when suggesting this was the plan a year ago was a conspiracy theory?

The sooner the better.
The bastard should already be hung...why is he pushing his luck?
For now.

Defeatism begets defeat. Spite it.
A majority never enacts change for the better, never fights for just causes.
If the day is to be won, it will be by the efforts of a brave few.
And as the noose tightens, the brave will become more bold, as much the weak will cower.
Honestly this, for me personally.

The Black Pill is nothing more than an attempt to make cowardice "based."
"for now" tends to be 50-odd year regimes.
Then we have our work cut out for us, if so.

I do love the presenter. It's not that taking people's rights away is bad, it's bad that some of those peopl are BBBBlack!

We should have no issue using their own tools against them in situations where it’ll actually work.
Why wasn't he ever prosecuted for war crimes? Oh, wait, neither was Bush 2. Never mind.
