We fall for... the theories of betrayal very easily, and one of the things that's always depressed me about the left, ever since I started in politics, is their ability to imbibe the propaganda of the right and regurgitate it to the left.

More quotes by Tony Blair
I'm one of these people that, once you have had your election and you have elected your candidate, let's see what actually happens.
Tony Blair
Enough of talking: It is time now to do.
Tony Blair
Surely we have the wit and will to develop economically without despoiling the very environment we depend upon
Tony Blair
Retreat might give us a moment of respite but years of repentance at our weakness would, I believe, follow.
Tony Blair
If we take all this actions and if it turns out not be true, we have reduced pollution and have better ways to live, the downside is very small. The other way around, and we don’t act, and it turns out to be true, then we have betrayed future generations and we don’t have the right to do that.
Tony Blair
My course has never been about triangulation, and neither, really, is Bill Clinton's. It's not - it's about applying your values to the future in a practical and unblinking way, and that is an ideological view that is every bit as strong as views from the left or from the right.
Tony Blair
Fifteen years ago, if you said business will help save the environment people would have laughed at you. Today, I believe that is a serious proposition.
Tony Blair
For me, 9/11 was a game changer. It altered my perception of the security threat we faced. I took the position that Britain should be shoulder to shoulder with the U.S. It was a big decision I didn't take it lightly, or in ignorance of its consequences. It's a big commitment for a country to give, but I believed it was the right thing to do.
Tony Blair
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.
Tony Blair
I don't think there Is a way politically to beat Insurgent Movement Of Populism.
Tony Blair
The British are special. The world knows it. In our innermost thoughts we know it. This is the greatest nation on earth.
Tony Blair
I have absolutely no doubt in my mind that the intelligence was genuine.
Tony Blair
The trouble is nowadays that parts of the media operate in a very partisan way. There's no point in complaining about it, that's the way it is. But let's be clear, a lot of it is driven by the views of a pretty small number of people, rather than a normal standard of journalism.
Tony Blair
I actually did trouble to read Marx first hand. I found it illuminating in so many ways in particular, my perception of the relationship between people and the society in which they live was irreversibly altered.
Tony Blair
All the way through, we have been willing to take risks, provided at the end of it we can get a decent lasting settlement in Northern Ireland
Tony Blair
They could have been removed. They could have been hidden. They could have been destroyed.
Tony Blair
Any parent wants the best for their children. I am not going to make a choice for my child on the basis of what is the politically correct thing to do.
Tony Blair
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.
Tony Blair
If we want to contrast what we have done in the past few years on delivery with what the right hon. and learned Gentleman delivered, let us remember the interest rates at 10 per cent. to 15 per cent., the 1.5 million fewer people in work, the boom and the bust and the borrowing at 8 per cent.
Tony Blair
What I'm really more interested in doing - because I think, in a way that's kind of obvious - and you can see, look into Austria - you've got a far-right candidate who may become the president because he's in a close-run race.
Tony Blair
