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.

    • I was not suggesting anything else!   I'm not sure how you interpret what I said  as "irrelevant"? I was responding to a post saying that Corbyn was "unelectable". My point was that a  large number  of the electorate  voted for him!
    • that's exactly what happened - Brickhouse were forced to close due to rent hike and then Gail's didn't move in until covid restrictions lifted and normality resumed. Gail's would have opened much sooner as they were lined up and able to offer the landlord much higher rents. Brickhouse was a local favourite
    • The Brickhouse closed just before Covid December 2019. Nothing to do with Gails muscling in as they didn't move into till December 2022. Stop trying to fit a false narrative into a story
