Tony Blair says his favourite film is Schindler’s List. No, really.

Former PM, genocide supporter and on-the-loose war criminal Tony Blair has said another ridiculous thing — it must be a day ending in a ‘Y’. The hyper-wealthy friend of a cast of dictators, maniacs and war criminals to rival the steering committee of SPECTRE reckons his favourite film is Schindler’s List.

The 1993 film centres on the Nazi Holocaust and contains powerful lessons from history…

Not a single fucking one of which Big Tony has grasped in any way whatsoever given he has signed up to the ethnic cleansing of Gaza. Blair was one of the first names on the list for Donald Trump’s Board of Peace initiative.

Blair said the film’s greatest lesson for him was

You cannot be a bystander.

To which we must say ‘Jesus, Mary and Joseph, what on earth are you talking about, you rictus-grinned narcissist prat?’

He added that not being a bystander:

can lead you to right judgments and wrong judgments but it is not just your job to look after your country… you owe some responsibility to the bigger world.

Hmm…

Tony Blair — like a bad smell

To be fair Blair has never been a bystander when it comes to war, invasion and empire. He’s usually been an enthusiastic participant.  The interview was part of an interview series which nobody wanted or needed, but Channel 4, in their infinite middle class wisdom, decide to make anyway… head-in-hands…

The general public are less inclined to see Blair on TV:

Imagine watching Schindler's List and your takeaway is that you should participate in the next genocide you see pic.twitter.com/TR3eYFw3xN

One Blair fan described the ex-PM as:

an absolute utter fucking piece of Shit.

Say what you feel, mate.

Tony Blair is an absolute utter fucking piece of Shit.

He was happy to see hundreds of thousands of people die for a lie in Iraq and he was happy to see people murdered in Gaza. And yet he's sitting here talking about Schindler's list never again it meant to be never again for… https://t.co/SbsOdGuJzi

Another discouraged us from watching the series with reference to Blair’s famously terrifying Christmas card:

You don’t need to watch The Tony Blair Story. You just need to google “Narcissistic Sociopath” who poses for a Christmas card like it’s a fight outside a Wetherspoons at 2am and leave it at that.#LeaveItTony pic.twitter.com/kuKiTNYtBs

Someone else said that given Blairite ghoul John Rentoul has endorsed the film it was probably about as veracious as Flat Earth Theory:

if John "Blairite truths are eternal" Rentoul has seen your Tony Blair documentary and liked it, it may be something of a whitewash pic.twitter.com/oJUMsJeFg9

Another was buzzing for Series Two which will presumably see Blair in a war crimes court. We hope and pray:

I’m looking forward to Series 2 of The Tony Blair Story.

The one where he and Alastair Campbell are tried in The Hague for war crimes, and the Dr Kelly ‘suicide’ files they had put away for 70 years, to be released many years after their deaths, are released to the public. pic.twitter.com/9dHcToibmD

In fact — big shocker — the war crimes thing was something of a theme:

Tonight 9pm The Tony Blair Story.
The only Tony Blair Story I want to see is when he's sharing a cell with Radovan Karadzic.

Another X user made the connection with, ahem, current events in the Massive Nonce… sorry… Labour Party:

It’s an Epstein Files who’s who in The Tony Blair Story on Channel 4 tonight 🫣😳

There may come a day when the British press stop giving Blair, a figure whose legacy in Iraq alone is unutterably toxic, a platform whenever he fancies it. But it isn’t just a matter of his wars in the early 2000s. Despite being a figure of contempt across the political spectrum, Blair STILL insists on having an active role in world politics. Usually this is by standing shoulder-to-shoulder with some of the most grotesque people on earth.

If there was any semblance of accountability, the man would at the very least be an international pariah. And at best, he’d be held accountable for what he’s done.
