Stop Blair! | 274 comments (267 topical, 7 editorial, 0 hidden)

Uh oh, I suppose a few responses like this here and there are inevitable as word spreads.

(Digital Spy Forums) Eurosceptics heads to explode: Euronuts take on Blair
These are European federalists at their core, so where should our support lay? Is it a simple choice, can't we oppose Blair but oppose the French plan to discredit and remove Britain's independence?

The above is from a Google query for stopblair.eu. I suppose a tongue in cheek way to reframe their question could be "OK, he's a bastard, but is he OUR bastard?"

You're clearly a dangerous pinko commie pragmatist.

Re: Stop Blair! (none / 1)

The petition obviously challenges the author's worldview of "friend" and "enemy" (their words, not mine). But fear not: in spite of cognitive dissonance, our pigeonholing as 'French' and 'Euronuts' is safe as ever.

You're clearly a dangerous pinko commie pragmatist.

#1427 has made up his mind. A little weeding may be necessary.
