Tony Blair just went up in my estimation

Wow! KABOOM!!
”The idea that as a Muslim in this country that you don’t have the freedom to express your religion or your views, I mean you’ve got far more freedom in this country than you do in most Muslim countries,” Blair told Observer columnist Will Hutton, who presents the documentary.
POW!!
”The reason we are finding it hard to win this battle is that we’re not actually fighting it properly. We’re not actually standing up to these people and saying, “It’s not just your methods that are wrong, your ideas are absurd. Nobody is oppressing you. Your sense of grievance isn’t justified.”‘
BLAM!!
Blair, who normally chooses his language carefully when he talks about Islamists, also takes a swipe at critics who accused him of undermining civil liberties. ”When I’m trying to change the law in order to make it easier to deport people who engage in terrorism - the idea that that’s an assault on hundreds of years of British civil liberties is completely absurd. Some of what is written on this is loopy-loo in its extremism.”
If he keeps talking like this, I promise to hate him less.

I’ve been waiting for Blair to bust loose since last Wednesday when Brown took over. Now that Blair doesn’t have to worry about politics, I suspect we’ll hear more of the same. :clap:

Looks like Tony found his nads since he left office. Good. And you can move some of that anger to Brown. He looks to be Blair Lite with regards to his politics.

I have ALWAYS liked Tony Blair. Regardless of what anyone thinks of him, you have to admit the man took a beating for his stance on the war on terror (misnamed) and never waivered in his determination and beliefs.
Now that he doesn’t have to play…
