Breathtaki­ng attempt to rewrite history has failed

-

I FIND the brazen cheek of Tony Blair breathtaki­ng and fully concur with Sir Michael Fallon’s fierce rebuke of the deluded former PM.

Blair’s latest denial that his decision to immediatel­y open the borders to Eastern European countries in 2004 had caused a massive influx of immigratio­n to the UK is shameful and wrong.

Labour’s deliberate attempts to socially engineer this country for their own political ends not only placed unsustaina­ble pressures on public services but also helped sow the seeds for Brexit.

Democracy has spoken and try as he might to rewrite his own political history, it is incumbent on the government to ensure Blair’s attempts to rewrite the referendum result prove futile. Matthew Batson,
