[@afzaalkhan.m]

He has the blood of a million innocent Iraqis

[@charloneill]

Where? Where does he have this blood?

[@abdmarashdeh3140]

At that time every one believed him. Can we imagine what lies happening now and we still belive them

[@danthelambboy]

The protests show we didn't believe him, many just ignored this because people don't typically have values instead they choose sides and tribes then set their beliefs and claims in line with them

[@abzheinz]

Why is Piers talking so polite to Tony but disrespects members of ethnic origin as though they stole his wallet!

[@user-pt8yr9xk3b]

It's not ethnicity He does it whenever he doesn't believe you

[@recieve.believe3344]

Pierce, Pierce, Pierce. How come your not drilling Tony about his responsibilities of taking part in killing and displacing millions of Iraqi, Afghan people? I know your not that ignorant of this "guest" of yours commiting crimes against humanity and doesn't pierce your consciousness at least one bit? Yet you passionately drill Andrew Tate on "Mysogany" on your panel as your guest?

[@garetcrossman6626]

He thinks we shouldn't concentrate so much on the deaths of over a million people that he's responsible for, given other things that happened during his time such as Olympic achievements. Gross.

[@saa_1997]

And how was. He even responsible for the Olympics? Isn’t that in the hands of the athletes and coaches?

[@bb69bb]

​@@saa_1997no he meant winning the Olympic bid for London 2012

[@markjennings2605]

Sooner or later he will acquire a conscience. And when he does his conscience will burn him for a very long time.

[@PsyOps404]

He has already taken on the appearance of the devil

[@mikipiediaelburro7588]

He was definitely asleep when Iraq dossier was being passed around😂

[@24567442]

Intentionally my freind

[@brithopper]

I doubt it …. He was well aware of what was going on

[@rahbid121]

How dare he say that his biggest regret is that "the failure to undestand the depth of islamic problmes". But not the 1 million lives he massacred. What a narcissistic paychopath.

[@osamatariq3752]

Such a blood thirsty monster he is

[@Solidsteak12]

Alright m8

[@user-zc8ht3vx8c]

He wouldn't admit he caused so many deaths! Innocent people and small children! He still_ would not_ admit his fault

[@tobymccoconut]

Oh so Churchill is bad because he killed Germans whilst trying to stop hitler? Suddam needed to go

[@Dennis-nc3vw]

It was the "freedom fighters" you were rooting for who caused the vast majority of those deaths, in large part because they knew you'd blame their American/British enemies for their atrocities and thus made every drop of blood they spilled a propaganda victory. "In total, over 150,000 people have been killed and 80 percent of them - more than 122,000 - were civilians, said the IBC. [...] According to a 2010 assessment by John Sloboda, director of Iraq Body Count, U.S. and Coalition forces had killed at least 22,668 insurgents as well as 13,807 civilians in the Iraq War, with the rest of the civilians killed by insurgents, militias, or terrorists."

[@manzion7591]

You may feel better as a pacifist, but As the facts of quantities of people killed, the abundance of killing was by Iraqi Baathists. Conclusion is the US/UK/20 other countries invaded to stop the oppression and murder, and yes they killed to do that.

[@HassanShehryar-vk4bh]

​@@manzion7591 If you are that brave, go and have a war with Russia and north Korea which are killing people in Ukraine and the North Korean dictator is doing far more brutal than the Iraqi Saddam..... It's a lie that Iraqi baathist killed most of the people, 6 in 10 civilians deaths in all these conflicts have been the result of air strikes It's easy to have war with poor countries like Iraq, Afghanistan and Syria, but it will take real guts to fight against Russia or north Korea ......... You said that coalition forces which were actually terrorists were there to help people,......... No they were not there to help people, rather to destroy their infrastructure of 90 billion dollars, they were there to steal their natural resources which the USA has been doing for the past many centuries ...... An intimate of about 150 billion dollars of Iraq oil has been stolen since the USA invasion .........

[@FrankRichardson-pw7uj]

Why is Blair still loose in the PUBLIC

[@alexharrison9340]

A war criminal and mass murderer should be locked up in solitary forever.

[@Solidsteak12]

Alright mate

[@alexharrison9340]

@@Solidsteak12 Yes, I am, thanks mate.

[@jonathanh9592]

Wouldn’t go that far, Harrison. Though he did make a bad call.

[@georgearthur205]

​​@@alexharrison9340 His crime was his naivety and loyalty to America. He put too much faith in the "special relationship", as the US led him and the UK up the garden path. Blair trusted blindly what the US intelligence agencies were telling him. If you seriously think that Blair was privy to those classified meetings where the CIA discussed intelligence and misinformation, then you're deluded. Blair only knew what America wanted him to know. He's not a murderer. He just aligned us too closely to the US after 9/11.

[@georgeb8679]

​@@jonathanh9592brits are hilarious

[@jean-lucpicard5510]

And Starmer thinks he will win a landslide by cosplaying as this man.

[@onenote6619]

Right now, if it is Labour or the Tories, the answer is - unequivocally - Labour. But the moment that Starmer turns into Blair, or tries to bring Blair back into the mainstream, that is the time to look elsewhere. Blair lied. He lied utterly. His greatest regret is that he got found out.

[@georgearthur205]

Blair won 3 elections, including 2 landslides. Corbyn led Labour to its most crushing defeat in history in 2019

[@osamatariq3752]

He has blood on his hands

[@Solidsteak12]

Alright m8

[@Fatimallen]

A coward. Simple as that

[@Solidsteak12]

[@garyo4057]

War criminal..

[@nataliarevi]

Looking at the face of this war criminal who killed many Iraqs brothers makes me sick!

[@abzheinz]

I’ve lost all respect for Piers when I see how he disrespect royals Megan & Harry but is so deluded by Tony

[@ivediiche]

#TonyBlairIsABloodyWarCriminal

[@Solidsteak12]

Alright m8

[@Brownmumba8973]

This man should be in court charged for war crimes after the illegal invasion of Iraq, the destruction of that state and the millions of people who were killed there

[@penguinatedthings305]

Reptile.

[@basheerahmed8132]

He doesn't regret the loss of Human Life...SHAME...Your hand are stained...GOD is the witness, and will judge you...

[@wayneconn1079]

1997 he told everyone he was New Labour lol whilst all along he was a Tory taking advice from Thatcher

[@markunsworth5755]

Would Thatcher have advised minimum wage?

[@maralynmitchell8261]

Its written on their Faces !

[@jcanyiam8309]

Just like Bush, I will NOT be sorry when THIS EVIL MAN passes away FOR HIS ACTION!!!

[@noreigaoconnorspecialk6771]

Was he related to the Mornbattens/ the Windsors / QEII? 🤔 Theres a bit of it in the corner of his eyes...

[@anuragsinha2013]

Unlike people in the comment section, I think this guy would know about finances more than any of you and you should try to learn from him, he's worth 60 million dollars, and he doesn't even create anything, he deserves much more credit than people give him. He is one of the foremost entrepreneur of our times.

[@hamerhayes]

Upon reflection and after watching him again after all this time, I'm surprised by how much humility I can see in Tony Blairs eyes. That doesn't mean to say I agree with what he did but he, at least, did have the courage of his own convictions.

[@sohrabamiri7917]

Regret is in vain or unbenefitable

[@robertblackwell2001]

Imagine we never went to Iraq.....Blair would be one of the best.

[@Micky999-eh6bt]

All he's missing is a bin beard

[@kennywilkinson913]

Wonder if we would be in a cost of living crisis had we sided with russia and what our scientists could have achieved with their budget and resources

[@brucemclennan9715]

Must say, miss his leadership and his style; not from UK (I’m Cdn), what a bright, engaging politico. Don’t agree with what happened in Iraq, but let’s be honest, the decision was really made across the pond. Also, consider Pierce’s comments interesting, re: the dominos that fell in Middle East, due to Iraq war. However, we must remember, that changing one decision does not mean everything else stays the same. That is what makes decisions so difficult, you don’t have all the facts when you make them (you have whatever information is available), let alone the benefit of hindsight. This was one of the most interesting and enjoyable discussions to watch, no binary groups talking over each other ad nauseam. Thank you.

[@david-no6xl]

Yes Iraq was a mistake, and he should own up to the error although I doubt if any PM would have turned down a request from the USA to be part of the invading force. Leaving Iraq aside, and i know that's difficult to do as a PM he was exceptionally good and done great things for our country.

[@Fatimallen]

Say that to the family of soldiers and civilians who died because of the blatant lies they said.

[@garetcrossman6626]

did

[@stevep9739]

A "mistake",well if ever there was an understatement. Keep taking the tablets.

[@alexharrison9340]

He did great things for his own bank balance, the greedy, blood-soaked monster.

[@paulinegauthier1867]

Our Canadian prime minister, Jean Chrétien, said NO to Bush. He knew the WOMD were BS and even if Saddam had them, what did that have to do with Canada? I'm surprised Blair shows his face in public.

[@theingabo212]

Why Blair, just why??

9/11 & 7/7 killed his legacy.... JFK

Ah, israels ambassador mr turney b.Liar

[@recieve.believe3344]

Surprised this monster with a fake smile hasn't been charged with crimes against humanity. Why Pierce doesn't drill Tony on his war crimes and yet, passionately drills Andrew Tate on His panel about His "misogynistic views" is beyond comprehension. Tony should be charged at the Hague for crimes against humanity.
