When people were calling to send Blair to the Hague, I don't think they had this in mind.
That's good! 👍
In the democratic world, mass murderers and war criminals can go on to become Nobel prize winners. While leaders trying to defend their country 's interest are subjected to regime change and face war crimes. Smfh
You're priceless, Scott. They shouldn't put Blair on trial at The Hague. A British court would be better.
What are the chances that Tony Blair will be an indirect investor/paid ambassador in whichever company wins the tender for digital ID implementation
The Tony Blair foundation also partners with the Bill Gates and Rockefeller foundation.
They act like two salesman selling the Encyclopaedia on the door steps
We were left behind by the closure of buisness in this country in favour of banking. And we all knew who did that.
✋👏👏👏 don't agree to digit I. D. It's the wef's plan for a 4th industrial revolution

Blair should be wearing an ankle tag.
A ball and chain more like and breaking rocks out in Iraq.
They'd have us wear tags on our ears like the cattle they see us as.
China already does that
Don't you mean Q.R. codes?
Revelation 13:16-17 in nascent form?
Pure Evil
Hague is on Dysons payroll and Blair is on Euans.😃
Euan Blair, the illustrious son of the UK’s ex-prime minister Tony Blair, has been making headlines fast for the success of his edtech platform Multiverse - which in just a few months has put billions in his bank. You mean this Euan?
I think that the best thing UK can do is be self sufficient.
Impossible.
Worth a try
The most self sufficient country in the world is North Korea where they still have manmade famines. Free trade is good.
1 DAY YOU WILL PAY THE PRICE FOR THE CRIME WHAT HAVE YOU DONE !
Its the first time i have heard politicians openly talk about this. As a country we make very little now and slowly we are becoming a poor nation.
They both support open borders Globalisation that has hollowed us out. Plus are dreadful pro war NeoCons that backed the Iraq Syria Libya Afghanistan bloodbaths and want to fight to the last Ukrainian.
@@evolassunglasses4673 You are confusing what they had to say with the war in Ukraine.
@@evolassunglasses4673 That's a new one on me and not seen any reports to that effect.
The constituency of the UK made sure of that
Not so slowly actually.
no idea what life is like for 99.9% of the public.
I do wish that Blair would keep his nose out of UK Politics - he’s had his day and cocked it up already.
How come I can buy an American phone or a Korean phone but I can't buy a British phone?
How come I can buy a French car or a German car but I can't buy a British car?
How come I can buy a Japanese TV or a Korean TV but I can't buy a British TV?
How come I can buy a German washing machine or a Chinese washing machine but I can't buy a British washing machine?
Answer those questions and you'll start to make sure we aren't getting left behind.
Same as Australia. Unions drove them out to work in other countries . With all the law's the Unions impose always wanting a million breaks in a day just drove business out to other countries.
British laziness mate!
Good point ✌
@@jessicatorretto159 If in doubt blame the unions
Do u want to work in a factory assembling washing machines?
I wonder how much Tony got for advertising Costa Coffee
12 barrels
The UK alone can not raise the large investment needed to catch up with Tech giants US and China. Maybe we should form an alliance with the European economies where we can pool our resources?
🤣🤣🤣🤣
ROTFLMAO
We could call it the EU!! 😂
UK is actually ranked 3rd for A.I in the world.
Wonder where Blair has his money hidden ?
Until quite recently, Britain made things that people wanted, even aspired to. So little exists now. Creativity and quality are nothing to do with quotas, or industry policy, or macro economics, they are instead the Rolling Stones, the Mini, Land Rover, and the Spitfire. Creativity and originality is now a stranger to Britain, and my goodness doesn’t it show in (ex) politicians too.
I agree, we need to redesign the state. We need a state where leaders that are responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people in wars that nobody else wants, are brought to trial rather than given a platform in which to dictate public policy
@John G072 If you compare a vaccination to defend against a pandemic to starting a senseless war in the middle East, you lost the plot.
@John G072 I rest my case.
@@Leberteich On the contrary. Killing hundreds of thousands of your own people is way better. Controlling how people live, making a democracy more authoritarian since the second world war. COVID was a persecutory masterstroke!
I’m glad William had reminded us that he was a former leader of a political party [Conservative], all I can remember of him from his ‘hay-day’ was his prowess in drinking beer when connecting with the people 😂
Dinosaurs explaining to people how to avoid becoming extinct.
I see danger in their suggestions.
Neither of these two did anything to address this; Blair as Prime Minister, Hague as Leader of the Opposiion. Blair in particular is responsible for seeding a sense of self-loathing and helplessness in the UK, trying to dilute the countries identity and sense of direction. It's strange to see that as he gets closer to the grave, Blair is trying to rewrite his legacy to be "patriotic".
Incidentally, there are similar discussion regarding AI in the US at the moment, with Biden passing edicts that AI should be used for "equality" by Government agencies; I think we all know what that means.
If this gets pushed forwards we need to protest and stop it!! It would be total dystopia
It's over for the UK. It has been for quite some time.
That’s right.
Because scums like that are in power
Are we really valuing the opinions of liars and war criminals?
We have been left behind, because we had leaders like Tony Bliar for a long while. First in a long line of career politicians who use public office to serve themselves.
I don't care for Blair and I was vehemently against the Iraq war, but I must admit Blair was a great PM compared to the midgets and other evil clowns that came after him.
If you think he was the first...
But at least we had reasonable schools and a health service that worked!
@@vincehillman7122 In Bliars time those things were already passed.
@rufanuf1
The NHS is important to me.
In 2010, no one was waiting longer than 18 weeks from seeing a doctor for an operation, and you could see a doctor the same day!
Can you say that today?
It takes a week to even see a doctor!
Oh Tony, Tony....Tony, Tony. I am glad that you finally come up with strategic thinking now. However, I still remember you clearly obstructing further European integration on high-tech civil and military projects. Now? You think that the UK needs to stay close in the race for AI and other technologies without the assistance of major economic powers like France and Germany. How do you think the UK can keep up with China and the U.S. on its own?
Since 2008 the lack of investment in UK plc is shocking. Where most other economies recovered a few years after the Financial Crisis , Britain was exposed to a massive programme of austerity and terrible wage growth which has led to long-term stagnation. Covid is not an excuse and never was. Now would be a good time to locate the WMDs so they can be disassembled and sold off,Tony!
We have a terrible business class in the UK who are greedy and completely addicted to importing labour on the cheap to make up for lack of investment in productivity. ..
Ha ha, I noticed the tie colours!
I’m fed up with the short-termism of our political system which means that our infrastructure in particular suffers. Hopefully though, the new innovations discussed will not end up in failed IT systems such as the NHS with its associated costs.
I love the fresh approach of this and feel that our politicians have forgotten how to govern now that they are not influenced by EU decision makers.
We can't govern ourselves without EU decision makers? I've heard it all now.
They're both liars
'We will be left behind' in race with US and China - Didn't Britain get left behind after 1945?
And to be clear they're talking about technology, but technology follows right behind economic output.
I mean there was Taiwan and with the "lead" they had in chip development, but the US turned around and went: "Well we're going to do that now in the US as a matter of national security. How much you need?"
Also, money attracts the most brilliant minds (or at least the willingness to invest, like we saw with the large hadron collider).
So, if your government has the money and says: "Come do research and development in technology in our country and we'll give you all the money you need", then in many ways they'll come.
And on the economic front the UK cannot flash cash like the US can and I don't think they ever will be.
Not unless the UK starts making things everyone wants at a competitive price the way China and the US does.
We should have simply stayed in the eu!
Here's two reasons why you shouldn't trust them.
What do you mean by succeed or fail? At what exactly?
Love the Costa fuelled exuberance Tony !!
That extra shot was a mistake
You've one the prize for best comment, well done !!
They're so right - AI is coming for your jobs journalists too... It's not utopia and you know it 😂
Waiting for the “why isn’t Tony Blair in jail?” comments but I must say I do enjoy listening to William Hague.
Nah. Just want to know how many WMDS Blair has found under his cot.....
He is completely captured by the open borders Globalisation project driven by international finance capitalism.
Why isn't Blair in jail?
War criminal, destroyed the economy by turning it into a giant housing bubble, destroyed the country by flooding it with millions of immigrants while hating the native population.
Why isn't he executed for treason?
He should be! 😏
Ummmm I wouldn’t bring up COVID and vaccines as an example of good government.
Like all great narcissists, Blair isn't lying, not about anything, about it (not) being utopia.
You do not need digital ids for technology innovation.
Tony getting closer and closer to The Hague.
this. A man that should be in prison
western leaders dont go to the hague they only preach this to russia
Scary and absolutely disgusting and disgraceful!!
Stop trading with them for 6 months, they are already down on their luck...
Who summoned Tony Blair the soulless skinwalker from his Crypt?
W O R L D. E C O N O M I C. F O R U M. S T O O G E S.
The government need a black book like Jeffery Epstien had.... you know like the one Tony was in.
what exactly are they proposing, any clues as to where we can find such report (or summary)?
I found the report on Hague's website.
It's from the world economic forum, it's dystopian. All they doing is giving excuses for the past and want to chain you in the future. Blair lies about the vaccine here, the eu soon overtook us. It's governmental fraud corruption mismanagement and lies that have led the uk here and Blair wants to capitalise on that...
This change is about trust in our Government. The countries deploying this have either faith in government or no choice.
It's the wef's dystopian mind f*ck. They believe this will be the 4th industrial revolution. It's a completely sick idea
It will emerge down the line that these clowns have shares in a digital ID tech firm and stand to make a sack full of cash..Round and round we go..
see Richy WEF Sunak & father in law for one
Britain has technological strengths, a lot of brains in its universities, ownership of a global business/culture language, and a respected legal system. But, unlike the US and Israel, it doesn't have a strong venture capital culture for bringing innovations to market. Surprising for a country with a well-developed banking system.
Britain has nothing.poverty is all left. Laughing stock
Not what it's being funnelled off faster than its made. These guys want all the pie and shackles of digital Id. Digital currency, so they have total control
People who buy digital assets will vote you out if you force digital ID on them.
No thank you Miranda jog on.
There be unity alright the whole uk rejecting the digital beast system
This horse may have bolted.
No doubt it's wrong of me but I'm afraid Blair lost credibility with me when he took us into that wrong and disastrous Iraq war.
... Apocalypse Now
Irony is William Hague didn't back ID cards last time Labour almost introduced it. We could have had a mature system in place by now. Its only a matter of time, all modern economies need the data revolution.
It's not good enough Hague saying "well like it or not that's the way the worlds going..." in response to public objection to digital ID. You used to RUN the country and still in influential positions, if the public don't like the way the world is going you should STOP it not just say 'that's the way it is' !
Can't stomach Blair! 😏😏
Agreed..He was the Useful Idiot who sold us down the river to the EU Dictatorship .....Tony Blair's government also led us into a needless Iraq war...
What happens to the jobs of drivers and truck drivers when vehicles do not need drivers anymore.
We will all be scroungers together then 🎉
An economically and militarily strong UK is not only good for the Brits, it’s good for the world.
I read the last series of economic and military health reports of the country and its very disturbing.
PM Sunak has to whip this behemoth of state around in the right direction every single day.
PM Sunak.....you got to be joking.....what a weakling he is you expect so much from.
@@smoozerish You work with what you have and not with what you wish
Agreed
Last time UK was economically and militarily strong, it enslaved half the world and all of Ireland. And it wasn't great for most Brits either, they had kids climbing up chimneys to sweep them.
@@Leberteich The Brits are some of the nicest people on the planet Earth.
The guilt trip is not healthy for them of for the rest of humanity.
An economically and militarily strong UK is not only good for them, it’s good for the world.
The UK has the ability to make deep structural changes. It’s a matter of leadership and a whole lot of persistence.
PM Sunak needs a vision the whole country can on board with.
I’m not from the UK. I just worry when I see the country go adrift off its moorings.
very concerned
Another great video. Thanks so much.
agree. great video. extremely insightful stuff brought to us by the brightest minds
@John G072 Bet accepted. I'll be checking back in February 2028
Some sense from BLiar....for once.
It's a pity people like you can't show some adult sense; you could start by spelling his name right.
He was a good PM except for the war crimes and poor oversight of the banks
I called him BLiar for a reason. Numpty.
Is the UK slowly groping its way towards some form of Proportional Representation? Much of what these two discuss depends on people working across the political divide, if it's to be effective and have longevity. We can hope so. The current two party adversarial system is not serving the majority.
What happens if we allow ourselves to be left behind? Why race again?

Essentially the government need to save money .As long as these new systems they are talking about save money then all for the good
2.40 talking about the new world. He missed off order. The new world is being created by the super rich for the super rich
Tony, by European standards we're not "heavily taxed". We have a low tax economy compared to our neighbours. The problem is, people expect European levels of public services in this country while aspiring to pay US levels of taxation. We must all face the fact we can't run the country on the cheap if we want decent roads, accessible public transport, health care, education, etc... So, the question is, who is going to pay for it? The obvious answer is, the people with the money. Unfortunately, those same people use their money to buy political influence to insulate themselves against taxation.
More money is not needed, less waste is.
Very well said
@@achosenman9376 more money, no corruption is what's needed
@@bereal6590 If that is true, why don’t you pay more voluntarily?
Half the handouts need removing. The 8000 inclusion and diversity managers in the NHS need firing. The gold plated public sector workers pensions needs removing. Stop paying people to sit at home. Stop giving aid to China, India, Pakistan and the others. Stop giving any support to illegal immigrants, stop giving legal aid to help fight deportation. Stop painting bloody rainbows everywhere. Stop all University grants. If you want to go pay for it, or win a scholarship if you are bright enough.
@@achosenman9376 i have paid all my life. I'm.happy to pay and in return have a decent society. You aren't aware what's been going on, I can tell from your comment. You're punching down and not looking at how why and by whom services have been degraded
When is Blair going to Hague? 😂
The day after Bush arrives.
He's literally next to him!
@@catmonarchist8920 The Hague 😢😎
I wonder how much they are being paid to say this
Most obvious statement: Blair should be in jail, he is a national disgrace.
Please get a better screen capture process in place. That mouse on the screen and the zoom dashboard popping up is pretty shoddy stuff
Got any I'd yes driving licence passport dont need any more stuff we walk around with a mobile phone get left behind what does that even mean.

Jim Sim... I have been thinking great Britain has been slowing down in its industrial output .it's scientific research sectors . I tried in a small way to start a business. I found the taxes before you even start are prohibitive . Income tax value added tax council tax business premises council tax . And accountants bills etc etc by the time I had something to sell every one had taken their bit and what was left was not worth the effort
I jacked in .started work for the council and found I had much less worry much more money and much less work and much more time for me and the family. I also managed to build up my pension .
We've been left behind for years. First country in the world to industrialise and the now deindustrialised and on the down trip over the hill. We have no car industry etc etc. As McMillan said, we've sold the family silver. It's all gone and ain't coming back. The 'Great'.has fallen off Britain it's now Petty Britannia
Well legalising cannabis for sale and production would be a bloody good start. Big tax
earner and thousands of new jobs, cleaner fuels and new medicines. And people are given the freedom they deserve and less people turned in to criminals for using the plant......
Honestly don't know how Tony Blair can sleep soundly at night.
Get over it , he is speaking sense. Why else would you be following this!
What they are saying makes good logical sense.
How many times has Iraq attacked it's neighbors or gassed the Kurds whose land they occupy?
NO times.
SO I'd say a good job was done by the allies in Iraq actually. If you can't behave and control your leaders expect to get f*&ked up.
@Young Salmon I'm not disputing what he's saying I'm simply referring to what he's done in the past
@@johnoneill436 Because dwelling on the past solves every problem every time.
Technology should be used to improve efficiency and the Train system in todays 21st century is one of the least efficient in terms of cost. £10billion a year just to maintain the tracks on this 18th century technology... thats a £100 billion every ten years just to make them available for trains to run. Rip up the tracks on the branch lines and make those green ribbens into EV highways for self driving coaches. It will slash thousands of miles of track maintenance saving billions each year and provide EV green transport that can leave the EV highway to pick up passangers of the old track and bring them into main line stations, cheaply, quickly as well as boosting new technology providing manufacturing and green jobs for the now and next century. With WFH becoming normal, the trains are even more empty than ever, EV coaches could be programmed to run when there are passengers and not run empty.
I'll sum this up for you "We need to be better at techno fascism than China, lest we fall behind"
Redesign the state! Civil service will suffocate this idea. Uncomfortable thought, but Dominic Cummings did highlight this when he and bono went up against the Blob.
I heard Ukrainian refugees comment that they got better healthcare in Ukraine as the whole system is digitised and they don't have to wait to see a GP!
I have to wait to see a doctor in Sydney. I usually wait about 30 mins without an appointment. You could die in the UK before you could see a GP in the UK.

Because US has 5 x UK population and China has 60 x UK population ... don't even bother

Where is the paper to which Mr Blair refers?
A good rule of thumb - anything that Blair endorses, reject outright.
Tony Bliar is close friends with Cliff ‘kitty’ Richard.
If this notion came from anybody else other than Tony Blair then this would be less sinister. Hague and Blair on the same platform who would have believed it.

he's got a clue. former p.m. tony is brilliant, obviously
Political policy can't solve all problems. They will go through process,when reality faced they all duck.
In the 1984 film, The Razors Edge, Bill Murray ( Larry Darrell ) says sarcastically as a term of endearment on the death of Piedmont, “ he won’t be missed. Don’t know why it came to mind. When Tony Blair passes away, he won’t be missed will certainly not come to my mind, in my opinion he is a liar of extraordinary competence, I feel totally disgusted as a then labour supporter to have aided and abetted in making him PM.
Let the Irish unite….
Tony ‘Miranda’ Bliar ‘ennobled’ Greville Jenner.
Unfortunately, we are stuck navel gazing and fixing other self-inflicted crisis
What if people does not want to obbey Mr. Blair. Who are you to force people to make what you want??? People does not want to follow your orders!!!
Poland, is on course to overtake our economy by the end of the decade, they have seen outside investment increase the last 8 years or so, whilst ours in UK has declined.
They are in the EU we are OUT.
What does that tell you?
The USA has become very protective and is investing heavily in their climate industries, putting the USA first.
The EU will also be putting Billions into Climate industries
We are out of the Erasmus, space and other EU scientific projects.
