    Response:

    Attack Blair for his domestic failures if you want to achieve any discussion here. The acceleration of PFIs, the cutting of disability benefits, the authoritarianism. Discussion of Iraq always leads to a deadend and it also adds to the Centrist narrative that Lefties don’t care about British workers.

    Flair:

    Social Democracy builds Socialism

    :stalin-gun-1: :stalin-gun-2: Stalin was right about social democracy

    Boris is a fucking horrible leader, and he is going to get worse, but you shouldn’t erase the horrors committed by basically every prime minister before the collapse of the British empire.

        It probably wouldn't have taken a significantly more deadly virus than COVID for BoJo to get a comparable body count to Blair. So I wouldn't say BoJo is worse than Blair, just that BoJo absolutely tried to be worse.

        Guess it's kind of the same way that people will (correctly) say that Thatcher was a fucking demon for instituting Neoliberalism in the UK, while several other Prime Ministers had bodycounts in the high 7 figures.

        Currently yeah but if Boris got the same circumstances as Blair he would do the exact same thing except he’d also be making racist jokes about it
