Blair’s not so rash now

-

IN HIS pro-EU speech this week, Tony Blair urged Britons who support the EU to ‘rise up’ and persuade Brexit voters to change their minds.

‘Our challenge is to expose relentless­ly the actual cost, to show how this decision was based on imperfect knowledge,’ he said.

At the risk of alienating passionate Brexiteers, it has to be said that, after his misadventu­re in Iraq, Mr Blair knows a thing or three about the dangers of making rash decisions based on partial informatio­n.
