Did we ever believe a -'spit' Lawyer ?? Must have some bullet holes in the old feet .... Or does he have shot proof shoes ?

'How can a country priding itself on its civil rights arrange that a man is deported without even a hearing?

TONY BLAIR, AUGUST 1979

"The liberty of a subject should be taken away not by the act of a politician, but by a court of law"

TONY BLAIR, MARCH 1994

"Considerations of national security have to come before civil liberties, no matter how important those civil liberties are"

Probably said when in opposition, then you have to take an opposite view, same as Howard would probably do if he won.

Interesting where the first quote came from as he wasn't elected to the house of commons till 1983? some student quote?

Come on .. think of the Master ! Noses and grindstones gent's --- and others !

..AUGUST 19, 1979, must have been a proud day for Tony Blair: it was the first time his words had been published anywhere except in his school magazine. The date also marked his baptism in British politics.

The young liberal-minded barrister from Derry Irvine’s chambers launched himself with gusto into a condemnation of the Tory Home Secretary’s deportation of immigrants “not by process of law but by administrative act”.

In his article for The Spectator, Mr Blair asked: “How is it that a country, priding itself on its tradition of civil rights, can arrange that a man is deported without even a hearing?” A quarter of a century later, opponents of his Government’s proposals for detaining terrorist suspects without trial are adopting a similar — if not identical — tone of incredulity. ...

Ace bull##itter -- well, he is a Lawyer, lower than snake's belly !

Remember peoples' politics change over time.

Does show how confused Bliar is though: when in the Tory party, preech liberal views. When in the Labour party, preech conservative views.

That's a little more than politics ... fundamental belief of almost any lawyer !! Take law away from court and their potential for work is eroded ... I reckon this is behind almost all they ever cry 'civil liberties' over.
Remember the schmoltz "I couldn't defend 'x' if I thought he was guilty"... So when defending the almost indefensable crim - do they not know his 'form' ? I bet they do little other than talk 'shop' when socialising -- they know what is what, who's who ... and invariably help the guilty walk free ..
