Tony Blair confirms he is working to reverse Brexit
The Guardian ^ | Dec. 3, 2017 | staff

Posted on 12/03/2017 8:59:05 AM PST by Eddie01

Tony Blair has confirmed that he is trying to reverse Brexit, arguing that voters deserve a second referendum because the “£350 per week for the NHS” promise has now been exposed as untrue.

[snip]

“When the facts change, I think people are entitled to change their mind,” said Blair, who has always been a strong opponent of Brexit but who has rarely been so explicit about being on a personal mission to stop it happening.

Asked if his purpose in relation to Brexit was to reverse it, Blair replied: “Yes, exactly so.”

Blair rejected the argument that he was defying the will of the people. “The will of the people is not something immutable. People can change their mind if the circumstances change,” he said.

Blair needs to stay out of it. He had his moment of absolute influence back in the Bush Years. Blair is the Jimmy Carter of Great Britain, (an annoying busybody needing more attention) except younger and with more current connections to power. Mexico’s pathetically- comical answer to this would be Vicente Fox.

Well, sure he is. Why let a pesky popular vote get in the way of One World government?

Wasn’t Tony Blair the one who imported hordes of Muslims and awarded them with benefits and housing without working in order to secure a solid voting bloc for the British Laborer Party? He’s already betrayed his country now he’s on a mission to stop those who are trying to save it.

“When the facts change, I think people are entitled to change their mind,”..........where have we heard this before?...yeah from obama/socialist, whenever they do like a outcome it is us who are misunderstanding the issues. It is us who are wrong. Yeah that is it.

You guys had an election, Tony. The people voted. For the government to ignore the will of the people is the s*** that revolutions are made of.

Every UK prime minister after Churchill did the same thing. None was significantly better.

Good! I assume that means that, since the Affordable Care Act was sold using big lies ("the average family will save $2500 a year on Obamacare" and "if you like your doctor you can keep your doctor" and "if you like your insurance you can keep your insurance - period" and "Obamacare will not add one dime to the deficit" and "the exchanges will be a competitive marketplace" and "reduce emergency room visits" and no tax increase for middle class families"), we should get an automatic re-vote on that evil law too.
