Tony Blair Secret Memo Accuses Gordon Brown Of "Hubris And Vacuity"

Daily Mail:

Tony Blair has delivered a savage attack on Gordon Brown in a secret memo accusing him of playing into David Cameron's hands by his 'lamentable' and 'vacuous' performance as Prime Minister.

The former Prime Minister boasts that Mr Cameron was 'in trouble' before he resigned a year ago.

And he claims Mr Brown's incompetence has made the Tories look like the party of the future and on course to win the next Election.

Gordon Brown was left to try and clean up the corrupt, deceptive mess created and left behind by his predecesso­r and now his predecesso­r is blaming him for the downfall of Labour???? The predecesso­r seems very frightened of parliment majortiy changing hands to those who will search for the truth of the crimes and torture of the past. Only the truth will set the American's and Brit's free!!!!

I wouldn't think being criticized by Blair would be a negative.

Heck, McCain's popularity would skyrocket if Bush started ripping him.

BLiar ruined Labour with his sychophant­ic poodle play to Bush. He's got a lot of nerve calling another politician responsibl­e for that mess. Sure, Gordon Brown is a doofus, but he inherited Labour on a downward spiral thanks to BLiar's incompeten­ce, hubris, weakness, and criminalit­y.

In a just world, BLiar would be appearing at the Hague in the not too distant future.

I think when history is written 20 years from now it will regaurd blair fairly well. You Dems said the same garbbage about Reagan, and as history did unfold after his term in office it spoke well of him. You guys were wrong with him and you will be wrong with blair and bush for that matter. As for his memo guess it wasn't very secret after all.

Tony calling anyone empty is a joke, he didn't have the b-a-l-l-s to stand up to our chimp in the White House, vacuous indeed, where are the WMD's Tony? Go ask BP, get any of those oil contracts signed yet?

My reply posted to Daily Mail-

Dealing with the neoliberal­s on both sides of the Atlantic is a problem.

Unlike 2004, Americans didn't support the pro-war corporatis­t Democrat this year, and those on the other side of the pond would do well to not to allow your own pro-war minority in the Labour Party to reclaim power.

The idea that Labour and Democrats SHOULD be embracing radical ideas like pre-emptio­n and torture in order to win elections has the right-wing­ers laughing all the way to the bank.

The policies of George Bush deserve standard bearers in neither country... particular­ly on the "left".

It may work with Reichwinge­rs here but it doesn't do so well over there. And they do not buy that craap about "socialism­" either.

Tony Blair is the pot calling the kettle black with regard to hubris and vacuity! And what's the difference between Tony Blair and the Tories anyway? What a putz and a major poodle to big money and big USA.

Poor Loser, warmonger Tony! How dare he criticise? He was great and then fell in "love" with Bush becoming his "poodle" and sold the world out and ran away. Your credibilit­y is gone Tony. You will go down in history of the leader who sold out not only the British people, but the world.

I may be wrong, but seems like Blair, the war criminal, might want to shut up and slink back under his rock.
