The Worst Things that Happen Can Often Be the Best | Alastair Campbell | TEDxYouth@Manchester

[@dommidavros2211]

I have huge admiration for this guy!! He showed an incredible amount of resilience and came through a horrendous time and still made a huge success of his life!

[@domzbu]

Dommi Davros erm, he lied the U.K. into war with Iraq and screwed the Mid East for decades

[@dommidavros2211]

Dogging Champion - Oh ffs not you as well!! How many of you idiots do I need to tell??? Everything was investigated and both he and Tony were cleared of any wrongdoing which means they were INNOCENT! And if you’re still unconvinced that they were right to enter Iraq, go and watch what Christopher Hitchens said about it! It’s on KZbin!

[@Jackwhoknows]

@@dommidavros2211 "We in the government investigated ourselves and found no wrongdoing." Sounds legit, thanks!

[@gronno]

​@@domzbu more accurately the USA lied to the world about the nonexistent WMD and sadly UK politicians believed them.

[@domzbu]

@@gronno Campbell came up with the 'sexed up dossier'. So he's just as culpable as the yanks.

The worst things that happen to you can be good for you. It's happened to me, at the time it wasn't nice. Like a cut that wouldn't heal but eventually it did and I look back now and can see it was good for me.

[@SearchingForSounds]

Man with the most integrity in British politics in my lifetime.

[@98Ashb]

Does anyone know the name of that Martin Luther King book?

[@1man1bike1road]

why does he need to remind us all of blair the war criminal and say he thinks hes the best primeminister we have had, facepalm

[@supremeworld87]

He's quite right to say that. Tony Blair's government significantly improved the country and achieved many good things. His premiership is unfairly overshadowed by the Iraq war. But Blair was a great PM

[@hecateswolf6007]

@@supremeworld87 yep they sure did they broke up the union, crashed the economy and destabilised the entire world with wars of aggression. Wonderful work

[@supremeworld87]

@@hecateswolf6007 it certainly was.the war on terror but nothing less than essential and they helped remove one of the worst perpetrators of genocide in history. And no, they didnt crash the economy. The economic crash was always going to happen, both here and in the US, because of the behaviour of the major banking institutions which varuous western governments had been allowing for decades. New Labour were exactly what we needed, a true centrist political party that brought us policies from left and right of the spectrum. Many of Tony Blairs policies were a huge benefit to this country

[@youcouldnotmakeitup2897]

OCT 2017 SY NEWS POLL 74% SAY NO DEAL IS BETTER THAN A BAD DEAL.

[@gronno]

And how's that working out for you? 🤦‍♂️

[@MCCOLDT]

War criminal.

[@lynnblackburn3027]

Yes like Brexit so cheer up Alistair 😃

[@riboid]

I'll never forget what the english did to Beckham after that episode. They were burning effigies of him and they really wanted to lunch him. Quite abhorrent behaviour but kind of sums them up.

[@swanhildm]

He forgot to mention that Beckham suffers from OCD, so all his examples for greatness are a bit on the loonie side.
