The only bit he's right about is the Corbyn bit. Corbyn would soon leave the UK on it's back just like previous Labour governments have.
Bliar's a first class, grade A egotist of the highest order. He can't take a step back from the political limelight any more than he can accept he's wrong. The only democracy he's interested in is that which supports his view, if it doesn't it's because the electorate have got it wrong and need to be better informed.

Can I just clarify - is that you or Tony you're taking about?

It's not anti-democratic for someone to believe a democratic choice that has been made was wrong and to argue against it.

That's the only part I was referring to and he totally got it spot on. Corbyn would be a disaster as PM.

He can argue against the decision 'til the cows come home that's up to him. What's not up to him and what is anti-democratic is to lobby behind the scenes to try to change the result or try to keep us in the EU when we voted to leave.

That's what Nigel Farage did after the previous referendum. Was he showing contempt for democracy too?

I referenced Brextremists like John Redwood not Brexiters.

Re: Brexit: Article 50 Has Been Triggered !
Well it seems Labour wants to have its cake and eat it when it comes to Brexit.
Who said so? Shadow Business Secretary Rebecca Long-Bailey who I'm sure would be the first to condemn any Tory who dared to utter such words as being arrogant, provocative, intransigent, out of touch, blah, blah, blah...

Can anyone seriously imagine the mess the UK would be in if people like this were actually in power?
