Tony Blair to tell Brexit critics: It's 'time to rise up'
Sky News ^ | 2/16/17 | Jon Craig

Posted on 02/16/2017 5:47:00 PM PST by markomalley

Tony Blair is set to provoke a furious political row by calling on opponents of Brexit to "rise up" and persuade voters to change their mind about leaving the EU.

In a rallying cry to pro-EU MPs and peers, the former Prime Minister will accuse Theresa May of pursuing Brexit "at any cost" and warn it could lead to Scottish independence.

Mr Blair, who wants a second referendum and has pledged to campaign to keep the UK in the EU, will deliver his latest attack on Brexit in a powerful speech to Remain supporters.

His speech will also been seen as a signal that he would like to create a new pro-Remain political party made up of Blairites, Liberal Democrats and even some pro-EU Conservatives.

But Mr Blair will face a bitter backlash from leading Brexit supporters and puts himself at odds with Jeremy Corbyn, who last week ordered Labour MPs to vote for the Government's Article 50 bill.

Let him move to the Middle-East, since that’s what he wants to turn Europe into.

Brexit won and the Tony Blair corrupt neocon establishment lost. It’s over. Elections don’t get redo’s just because the establishment loses.

Stay out of it Blair. The Britons have made their choice.
You are consigned to the regressive past. This move is bigger than even your ego, so it appears to me.

There is something weird about the word “rise” with these NWO people.

JEB “Right to Ri$E”. I don’t get it; it’s like its some masonic codeword or secret handshake.

I know the $ dollar symbol actually has some esoteric meaning, like we are suckers or something (look it up), but what is all this “rise” or Rise UP or right to rise all about?

Lord have mercy on our nation.

These fools think the masses want to rise up and force their self-determination to be taken away.

That’s how far gone they are.

They have no clue how the average citizen sees the globalist megalith.

Yes, but he isn’t satisfied.

He wants millions more I’m sure. So let him go where he can get the full dose of what he loves more than his own people.

So now the UK has a shadow government organizing resistance. I’m sure Tony’s taking his marching orders from Soros too.

Tony Blair is a hero of freedom. If he says it’s time to rise up and fight then he must be right. The guy kicked ass in Afghanistan and Iraq. How quickly we forget his heroism.
