Blair is the World

Err no. He turned a nasty little low level insurgency into a refugee exodus of a million people and a desperate escalation of brutal tactics by Serb security forces, meanwhile devastating the infrastructure of Serbia to little end, except to suck up to the States in their bid to give NATO a raison d'?tre in a post cold war world in the face of the threats of European alternatives (a pattern he'd repeat).


He lucked out when milosevic saw the writing was finally on the wall for him, but also gave rise to preemptive preventative war which gave us, err, Iraq.


Anyway, let us never speak of him again, it's what he thrives on. I think the world should just ignore him and he will be in a living hell that we can all appreciate.

Errr a little bit fanciful to say the least. Yes Blair is as responsible as the US for the botch job in Iraq, but are you seriously blaming the conflict in former Yugoslavia on him?


Kosovo is primarily populated by ethnic Albanians who are unhappy with Serb rule. Both lay historical claim to Kosovo and those are tensions that go back to well before Blair was even born.

    • We were hoping to have a meal at Monkatsu  last night (Sunday), after having been out all day. Online information gave the closing time as 10pm. We got there around 8.30pm and they wouldn't give us a table because "the kitchen closes in half an hour." Surely it doesn't take half an hour to make a meal? We've never had to wait that long when we've eaten there before. Has anybody else had this happen? We ended up going home and getting a delivery, which wasn't how we had envisaged the end of a nice day 🙄
    • That place did only have pizzas on the menu, to the best of my recollection. We ate there once, the pizzas were ok but the room was not exactly atmospheric. Il Mirto has  a lot of pasta dishes on the menu,  but that also never seems busy. It's small and out of the way,  and easily forgotten if you're looking for somewhere to eat, I suppose.
