GP's used to have to be on call throughout the night and then turn up to do a full days surgery the following day. I can only assume that that is one of the things that Blair stopped? He also helped bring about peace in Ireland and Yugoslavia but people seem to have forgotten that.

I hate him too.

Just read that GP's voted today not to do home visits and I am housebound and I wonder how will terminally ill people cope.
Blair started the changes with GP's with their new contracts that seem to have made them more like business men

He destroyed the UK in ways but most of all I remember thinking he was a good guy when he became PM

Until the Iraqui War

I didn’t think it could get any worse after Blair. Now we have Corbin!

I remember when he was running for PM in 1997 (I think) and there was a poster of him saying "New Labour, New Danger" and it had his eyes as a demon's eyes. There was a huge outcry and the poster was condemned by ASA and was subsequently removed.

It was the most accurate political poster ever printed imo.

The most corrupt prime minister we have had!

Luckily we’ve got Boris Johnson who wouldn’t make anyone’s skin crawl. ?As for the RF a bit of moral integrity wouldn’t go amiss

Thank goodness we have a royal family, otherwise we might be living under President Blair.

Tony Blair has always made my skin crawl. Even when he was the prince charming of politics and kept winning elections I had an uneasy feeling about him. I didn't trust him. Call it intuition.

Sorry for the outburst ,.....just seen him on Welsh News and seriously wonder why anyone cares a f...k what he thinks!

Anyone else? The worst Prime Minister of all time ...

He told the whole world that the U.K. is open to anyone who wanted to come here and is solely responsible for the ongoing crisis in Calais...where the world and his wife thinks that the ~UK is the land and milk and honey!
