Tony Blair to campaign to keep Britain in the EU

[Chippiewill]

Tony Blair will intervene in the campaign to keep Britain in the European Union in coming months as the party is plunged into disarray over the Labour leadership battle.

The former Prime Minister is expected to make the case for Britain to stay in the EU and warn that a vote to leave would mean "chaos" for business and diminish Britain's place in the world.

And in one fell swoop the entire population opts to leave the EU.

Does he think this is a good idea? I mean, he publicly backed Ed Miliband and look how well that turned out.

Tony Blair should front the anti-independence campaign, he's ideal for the role.

After all, he knows a lot about how the EU works. This is the man who surrendered a large chunk of our rebate to the EU in the hope that by doing so the European Commission and the French officials would reform the absurd CAP. Well, they 'considered' it (lol) and the answer was 'non!' and there went a few billion quid.

Edit: just remembered this old gem from 2005.

Looks like we're leaving the EU then This man is dead in British politics - he should stay well away and go back to America to see his Texan lover to devise how else they can sell themselves and others.
