Twitter reacts to Tony Blair's terrifying Christmas card

[NeilSA1]

Loved by every one, love to see him hung.

Maybe he is, hence Cherie's expression.

[Neilly]

I think they should have gone for a picturesque shot of one of their country properties as an alternative to this rather awful photo.

Yeah...with them being chased by fox hounds would have been nice

[Briggsy]

Just before the photo shoot, he only got 400,000 pounds instead of the promised 500,000 pounds for that middle eastern lobbying job.

...... a week.

[Krataiboy]

They've just got middle-aged. It happens to all of us - if we're lucky.

[tw25rw]

If it was anyone else, it wouldn't rate a mention.

Speaking as a Brit, Blair only managed to fool me once; I fell for the WMD (weapons of mass

destruction) scare. I really believed Saddam had a secret stash, hence supported getting rid of

him.


However, unlike many of his admirers, who felt cheated by subsequent events, I didn't feel any

particular animosity towards Blair then, and still don't. I never liked him, and certainly never

voted for him or his Party, so the feelings I've always had that he's a fraud remain unchanged.


Having seen Tony and Cherie's Christmas card yes, it's dreadful, but so what? What is it that

makes folks rush to clamber aboard these kinds of peurile attacks? I include in that 'The Age' article referred to in the link.

Here's a far better article: it mentions the social media feeding frenzy but doesn't take the tweeters at all seriously.

amongst top 10 id say vile evil politicians in the world including Saddam Mugabwie but he did it with a smile and pathetic gullible voted for him. They say and i agree poor ISSAN are totally hoodwinked by Taksin scum but this guy in his own way is as bad. Asian corruption pales into nothing compared with his crimes.

[Bakeman]

Why Season's Greetings? Why not Merry Christmas? I thought he was God's right hand man.

I was thinking the same thing however maybe he is just economizing so he doesn't have to send a New Years card around the corner.

Wth, what loser makes fun of an dee couple like because their Christmas picture did not turn out well. Someone just trying to be hurtful.

Just goes to show that Internet can be, at times, dominated by pathetic loser Internet bullies with no life that no one would ever listen to prior to the Internet. Congrats.

Tony Blair and the art of a good Christmas card photo

"Menacingly odd", "fabulously awkward", "terrifying" and plain "creepy" - just some of the reactions to the Christmas card sent this year by Tony and Cherie Blair, notes Ben Milne.

You see when you are doing wrong or have done wrong really bad things like complicity in others deaths you can never in your heart truly smile. You can try to pull the wool over others eyes but the proof of the pudding is in this picture and their demeanour.

You have no idea what you're talking about. Tony Blair followed George Bush into a war based on complete lies and got a lot of people killed as a result (including his own countrymen). He is evil incarnate and deserves to rot in hell for eternity. He's currently receiving £40,000 pounds/month from signing illegal contracts with a Saudi oil company. Can you say "blood money"? And you think it's unfair to make fun of a Christmas card? Wake up.

[MJP]

Post removed. People are understandably pissed at this bloke. This ain't Sonny and Cher we're talking about,

[Mosha]

I wonder if he has sent one to Rupert Murdoch?

I was thinking Gordon Brown.

[JockPieandBeans]

Remember this ?

It sure got better for some.

[ATF]

Prozac and Botox Blair.

[Bwanatickey]

Would be nice to know who is on his Xmas card list.

I'd agree with the creepy and terrifying, as well as menacing, all justifiable labels to stick to Blair's lapel.
