Tony Blair achieved his goal which he actually publicly stated and that was to destroy England. And he did. He received free university education but then he brought in charges. In his first year he also brought in 12 billion pounds of taxes on English industry. He then taxed the people like never before. Then gave his friend Lord Pilkington a special golden handshake (hence pilkington glass which is actually rubbish)…. And somehow even with all these taxes, the country became indebted as never before. Check out Blair’s personal assets and all those whom sat with him on that administration ….. amongst the world’s wealthiest people. Total corruption. The rebate from the EU that was obtained by MT ceased to exist because for some reason Blair was happy to have the hard-working people of England hand all the taxes to an unlawful organization. All politicians starting from Blair are owned by the same deep state scum. Whether they be to the left or right, they are all owned by the same master. Hence the state of the world today. They are in every country. Fortunately they have lost. The evil and corruption has always been there but now people are awake and they see.
