Cheer up lads: Tony Blair considering future role in British politics - BBC News

[Mick Dempsey]

Stranger things have happened.

 

He is still a relatively young man.

[Mark Bolam]

He could probably walk in as Labour boss again Mick, even if he waited a few years and surfed his Zimmer frame in, in a wave of his own pish.

It will be a long, long time before they can correctly be referred to as 'the opposition' again.

Ha, very good. I suspect you failed to notice that the majority of hungarians refused to vote as it was a daft thing to vote about anyway. Keep on trolling mate, try and up your game a bit if you've got it in you though.

 

About 43% of Hungarians voted, and of those that voted 98% voted to keep the migrants out. It's fairly clear that Hungarians don't want migrants.... I'd imagine the non voters didn't vote because the result was obvious from the very start.....

 

For a thousand years Hungarians were battling to keep invading muslims out of Europe. Hungarians also probably looked at things like the Cologne sex attacks and French terrorist attacks and decided they didn't want similar "cultural enrichment".

Mad as a balloon, or, to put it another way, a classic example of left / liberal elitist attitude towards any proposed policy or system which might help understand, record and attempt to "manage" the movement of people and the potential influence / effect upon National identity and the obvious need to gather this data to adequately allocate, manage and provide sufficient resources for public services.

 

What is racist / xenophobic about seeking to understand the level of imported / migrant labour which contributes to UK GDP? Absolutely nothing.

 

The National Census (404 - Not found) to name just one (just about any training course, school, public sector job application, request to join a Drs surgery asks very similar questions of ethnicity without, apparently raising the howling whine of racism from the Liberal / Left)

 

So I fail to understand the sensationalism that is being whipped up by the media and opposing politicians. What's better - try and understand the situation or just ignore it and blunder on blindly like Jeremy?

 

I've said it before, and I'll say it again, you're a better wordsmith than me Mr Johnson.

 

It does get a bit boring when your best defence is, the Liberal/Left need to understand!!!, I think some of us have got that covered.

 

I'd hope you don't think Some of us would blunder on like Theresa, sorry, I meant Jeremy.

Apologies Mr Eggs!

 

(Now this has massive potential to be misinterpreted!)

 

I didn't mean to include your good self in that metropolitan elitist socialist grand generalisation!

 

I think, from our previous exchanges, you have a much more sensible and dare I say "traditional" social conscience based more upon fairness than the sort of superiority complex we see from "holier than thou" bearded or sharp suited, shaven headed, university educated Labour top brass.

 

I'm hoping you might know what I mean because this has to the potential to be a hole that keeps getting deeper!

 

You didn't say what you thought about the interview (and more generally, the widespread uproar about the proposal?)

 

If I were a betting man......
