Whether you like TB or not, his analysis is fair and shouldn't be discarded solely on the basis of his decision to go to war with Iraq in 2003. His perspective is quite insightful in today's problematic.

[LIHPIT]

We want this man locked away and all of his assets stripped we want a people's vote on this one who's going to start the petition

[edwardrussell]

Iraq war contributed to what we see in the West.. what we sow so shall we reap.. tnx mr Blair.. you did it... now reap it

[wowwowwow]

what this man did to the world . how can he show his face, ! he should be in prison .. what's really going on is the people in power are losing control of the people ...

[adig]

He should be in jail for the deaths of all the British soldiers due to his illegal wars! And take some responsibility for all the deaths from terrorism on our streets as a result of his illegal wars! The man is a war criminal! He should be in jail not TV!

The problem is that it’s not about the priorities of the country, it’s all about the priorities of their

[oldenglishsheepdogfun]

Why oh why can t we have another tony Blair !!! We should ask David miliband to stand

[teknical]

He was a useless MP in our region too . . . . .

[karensime]

In all honesty, what he is saying does make sense, regardless of his previous transgressions. I agree the young should have a say

[jameshearn]

I don’t like Tony Blair but he is 100% correct on this issue

[teknical]

And your point this morning is to deflect from the sh*t you landed us in.

[LIHPIT]

War criminals should have no opinion and this man should be locked away

[Another]

War Criminal, why is he allowed to roam freely????

One of England’s Greatest Prime ministers

no deal is not an option, it's the DEFAULT when no other options are approved. Should have used those 3 years to develop some new border control tech.

Interesting that there was not a single question about Northern Ireland. I find that really unusual considering that the backstop has been the reason that the withdrawal agreement never got to parliament.

Blair is an inspiring, very intelligent leader with a class apart when he does his speeches!

[loud-and-proud-patriot]

I'm not a Labour or Lib Dem voter but Blair has spoken a lot of sense about Brexit

[markdonnelly]

If you told someone a couple of years ago that it would pan out like this they would think you have been on a personal discovery of Ayaheusca in South America for a while and tell you to come down.

Blair is on point in everything he said. EVERYTHING!
