Starmer supports simpering Tony as 600,000 say ‘belt him in the garter!’

Sir Keir Starmer supports Sir Tony Blair’s latest honour.

He says that the former prime minister deserves it.

Is the man mad?

More than 600,000 people have already signed a petition calling for the appointment by the Queen to the Order of the Garter – Britain’s oldest and most senior British Order of Chivalry – to be removed.

What about the Iraq War, Keir?

That’s what they are asking you wonderful man of the people!

But Sir Keir insists the honour is not an issue and that Sir Tony had been a “very successful prime minister”.

Has Sir Keir forgotten Blair decided to enter the Iraq war on our behalf? He was instrumental is causing the Third World War and we are still under daily threat from an almost invisible and proudly suicidal army.

Oh, and don’t forget Blair has quite happily raked in millions by advising foreign despots ever since.

It is true that Knight Companion of the Most Noble Order of the Garter is a hollow honour, one extended to every former prime minister – and it is telling that Her Majesty waited 14 years before granting it to Blair.

The Queen is sold to the world as a non-political animal. But this is far from the truth. And the making of the honour has reintroduced Geoff Hoon’s claim in his memoir that he was ordered to burn a secret memo about the 2003 Iraq invasion.

So, surely if Blair had a shred of honour he would reject the honour.

Anthony Charles Lynton Blair, aged 68, a simpering, lisping, lying, hand-wringing, grinning war-monger who became Middle East peace envoy is supported by a particularly pointless rich boy who still thinks it’s trendy to be on the left of anything that’s right.

Did Keir not notice that that nice Tony even exploited the pandemic?

He keeps trying to reinvent himself as the saviour of the country over Covid.

He was among the first to advocate leaving a 12-week gap between the first and second Covid jabs to maximise the number of people with at least partial immunity. But then Health Secretary Matt Hancock said it was his idea, which Blair had stolen.

After his side lost the Brexit poll, the arch-Remainer demanding a reversal of the largest democratic vote in British history.

And don’t forget Blair took the country into war in Afghanistan and 457 British lives were lost. Two decades later the Taliban is back in control.

But nothing is bigger than the £8bn war in Iraq, a war in which 200,000 civilians are said to have died.

The conclusions of the Chilcot report into the war accused Blair of being a liar and a warmonger. The 2.6million word report said: ‘The UK chose to join the invasion of Iraq before the peaceful options for disarmament had been exhausted. Military action at that time was not a last resort.

‘The judgments about the severity of the threat posed by Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction – WMD – were presented with a certainty that was not justified. The planning and preparations for Iraq after Saddam Hussein were wholly inadequate.’

But Blair insists he has no regrets.

As names on the petition go ever higher, Blair should give up the knighthood and war crime charges should be consider.
