I feel like everyone else in this country today. I am utterly devastated.

Times are tough but they are tough because the government is trying to do the right thing, whether on public service reform, education, health, anti-social behaviour and welfare, or in counter-terrorism.

What I will say to people is what you require are rules and not prejudices.

Fanaticism is not a state of religion but a state of mind.
Tony Blair

It is absurd to say in respect of any intelligence that it is infallible, but if you ask me what I believe, I believe the intelligence was correct, and I think in the end we will have an explanation.
Tony Blair

There's a great frustration with the system. There's a lot of anger out there. But in the end, you need answers and not just anger. But anyway, let me not trespass too much into your politics. I've got enough problems in my own politics.

This mass terrorism is the new evil in our world today. It is perpetrated by fanatics who are utterly indifferent to the sanctity of human life, and we the democracies of this world are going to have to come together and fight it together.

I don't concede it at all that the intelligence at the time was wrong.
Tony Blair

I don't think there Is a way politically to beat Insurgent Movement Of Populism.
Tony Blair
Image
I do not want to end up with an American style of politics, with us going out there beating our chest about our faith. Politics and religion - it is not that they do not have a lot in common, but if [religion] ends up being used in the political process, I think that is a bit unhealthy.
Tony Blair
Image
I think the journey for a politician goes from wanting to please all the people all the time, to a political leader that realises in the end his responsibility is to decide. And when he decides, he divides.
Tony Blair
Image
Now, again, what the center ground has got to do is to respond to people's genuine concerns and fears.
Tony Blair
Image
I have absolutely no doubt in my mind that the intelligence was genuine.
Tony Blair
Image
A lot of the politics that is going on left and right at the moment is more about a protest, which we should respond to. It's not often about a policy. And that's why what you get is this strange coalition of different views of what the future should be, coming together in alliance to protest against the status quo.

Actually the royal family were very gracious and good to me. But I also found that the British establishment were never quite sure what to make of me. I was a Labour figure, but I'd come from a very middle-class background. In one sense I offended both traditional right and traditional left. But I thought that was no bad thing.

I want my son to grow up in a place where the people are more powerful than the government and not the other way around.
