There’s a chance Britain won’t leave the European Union, former Prime Minister Tony Blair said Saturday, arguing that stopping Brexit is “necessary” to avoid severe economic damage.
In an article published by Blair’s Institute for Global Change, he wrote that EU leaders might be willing to “reform and meet us half way” to keep the U.K. in the bloc. He said that might include compromise on freedom of movement — a key EU principle that conflicts with Britain’s goal of placing limits on immigration. […]
Blair also told Sky News that “every day is bringing us fresh evidence” of Brexit’s harm to Britain, with economic growth slowing and the value of the pound down sharply since the June 2016 EU membership referendum. …

Well yes, of course, but then why even have voting?
Why not just tell the subjects what you’re going to do and what is going to happen to them and leave it at that?
It's settled science?
Uh, shouldn’t it read “Brexit says Tony Blair must be stopped to prevent harm to the UK?” Makes more sense to me that way. Time to put the eu (ewwwww) out of it’s misery.
Apparently, the Brits could have saved countless of their soldiers' lives - and the remainder of their manhood - by simply surrendering to the Germans in 1914.
Staying in the EU just hands power to the Germans once and for all.
“Blair’s Institute for Global Change”
That’s all you need to read here! The Brits need to launch this sack of $hit into orbit along with that French-Canadian pimple on the a$$ of progress, Justin Trudeau who’s running what’s left of “democratic” Canada these days.
“I guess that once the Globalists have you, you can never leave.”
Yeah, they’re like a Roach Motel! A country can check in, but it can’t check out!
The company I used to work for did a lot of business with an Irish customer. A man I often talked to on the phone was at our plant for a visit and I had lunch with him. We got to talking politics (this was during the Clinton years) and he referred to Bill and Tony as a “pair of smarmy gits”. We had something in common besides business after that.
Pardon me, but isn’t Blair a “has been”, or did I miss something and he was elected dictator?
global, elitist champagne socialists have the FU attitude to the others time and time again.
Votes are for unimportant charades only.
World wide, the common people aren’t buying the ruling elite’s threats of doom and gloom anymore. Prepare for a war because that will be the elite’s last resort to keep their control so when Tony Blair and other globalists say nationalism will hurt the economy, a war is what they are referring to. Wars have served them well over the centuries.
All that democracy threatens the never-voted-on decisions of people that matter.
It's settled science?
Isn't it rather obvious? The British voted for Brexit and they now have muslims rioting all over the place, a huge drug problem, a complete wreck of a healthcare system and a completely unsustainable debt, to boot!
— once the Globalists have you, you can never leave. —
Hotel California.
“Hotel California” indeed.
“You can check out anytime you want, but you can never leave.”
Tony Blair to a majority of U.K. voters: ‘eff you!
The English voted to leave the EU, but out-of-power `has beens’ like Tony Blair (the Pubic Hair) who of course know better than the yobs, say—maybe that election result can be undone?
Gee, that sure sounds familiar ... Why is it that when conservatives win, then it’s “OK, best 2 out of 3” but when Labour wins, it’s an immutable result? (At least until the damage is done, the public clamor/airing of grievances and they lose again.)
Tony Blair needs to be stopped to halt harm to UK.
