“Otherwise” is doing a lot of heavy lifting there.I hope T & P is grateful that I've boosted what would otherwise have been a boring thread with no novel content whatsoever to 12 pages so far.

I don't get the petition preventing him getting a knighthood. Isn't it the mark of a cunt? He deserves it.
Fair dos I've come in late. Seems odd then for the left to debate who should or shouldn't be given knighthoods.We've been through this, but no one has changed sides based on this info afaik.
I used to regularly cycle by his house in Connaught Square. Big house with two armed policemen outside all the time. What I didn't understand was how he could be given armed police 24/7 after leaving politics.
Fucks sake I was gonna post something on the Kazakhstan thread about how they should phone Blair up for some PR tips. As a joke. And then before I get the chance it fucking happens in real life. What an unspeakable piece of shit he is.
All former PMs receive lifelong protection.
To the extent that he does? Two armed police at the front of his house and armed police at the back of the house. 24/7.
Is this normal for all ex PMs?
I believe so, if they want it.
So not all then.
Imo he being a possible target for terrorist attack is his fault and now he is not PM he should not have costly security he has.
There should be a limit on it for ex PMs. A time limit after which they should be treated like any ordinary citizen.
How long would you suggest?
All ex-PMs will be targets for someone. You don't like Blair, but someone else won't like someone you do like.
Either protect them properly or don't bother at all.
I'd say a couple of years and then your on your own. Like the rest of Joe Public. Seems fair enough to me.
I've been working around City and West End around times when their have been terrorist attacks. I've been OK and no one I know has been hurt.
These are innocent people who've been caught up in this.
Blair whether I like him or not policies increased threat of terrorism. He was warned about this.
So, and this isn't about what I think of him personally, once he's no longer been PM for several years should have same chances as rest of us.. Who have to go about our daily lives in Central London and didn't start wars.
Perhaps if this was the case members of political elites like him might think twice about it.
It's been successful in making Blair a shit ton of money, which is all the grinning sociopathic cunt ever cared about anyway.To make it clear the link was from 2014. Not the present.
Blairs Third Way politics see that trying to influence dictators like this is fine. Hasn't been successful.
I used to know a guy on Thatcher's protection squad not long before she died, he hated her. Still recognised that she had a right to protection though.How long would you suggest?

You can't help feeling that they'd be less willing to undertake class-war against their own compatriots if protection weren't guaranteed.Why? We none of us had a right to protection from Thatcher.
That's not the way things work though is it?Why? We none of us had a right to protection from Thatcher.
Over a million nowSign the Petition
Tony Blair to have his "Knight Companion of the Most Noble Order of the Garter" rescindedwww.change.org
Glad I signed it just to wind up Starmer who reckons Blair deserves it. Hope it makes a million. Been getting more into the news. As Starmer is trying to resurrect sensible centrist Blairism its good to see him try to justify Blair. This isn't what he wanted.
