The former prime minister said it was 'right' that the country was made up of different cultures and faiths mixing together.

Mr Blair added that migrants had made Britain 'stronger' and said those calling for greater curbs on foreigners entering the country were wrong.

His comments come just days after official figures revealed that the population is expected to soar by the equivalent of a city the size of Leeds every year for the next decade.

defiant Mr Blair insisted his party's policy on immigration was the right one. He said: 'It's been a very positive thing and there is no way for a country like Britain to succeed in the future unless it is open to people of different colours, faiths and cultures.'

Under Labour, up to 5.5million people born outside the UK arrived as long-term migrants

Labourin pitkän valtakauden aikana maahan saapui 5,5 miljoonaa pysyvää siirtolaista..

Blair sanoi:

"Kyseessä on ollut erittäin positiivinen asia eikä Britannian kaltainen maa voi menestyä tulevaisuudessa, mikäli se ei avaa rajojaan eri ihonväriä, uskontoa ja kulttuuuria edustaville ihmisille."

Tämä mies ei edes ymmärrä hävetä. Ja mikäs hävetessä, kun pankkitili on karttunut 20 miljoonalla punnalla pääministeriuran jälkeen.

Sillalailla. Entäs kun historia tulee tuomitsemaan massamaahanmuuton ja sen aiheuttajat.
Irakin kaltainen tilanne, itsemurhapommitukset, voi toistua esim. Englannissa. Englanti häviää.

Mikä paine ajoi Blairin antamaan näin "rohkean" lausunnon aiheesta?

Olenko hakoteillä, kun muistelen kyseisen jantterin antaneen toisenlaista kommenttia valtakautensa lopulla?
Minusta on yleisesti vastenmielistä ja erityisesti kuvottavaa myydä maataan rahasta, kaasuputkihemmo lipposesta aina meille niin kalliiksi tulleeseen arvofemakkoon...ja sixpack vielä tähän erikseen
Dirlewangerit näille.

Taisi olla paine kukkarossa.

Tony Blair, the former Prime Minister, is helping the controversial government of Kazakhstan to improve its standing in the West.

Telegraph 23.10.2011 juttu

Kazakhstan is the latest addition to his burgeoning network of international clients and the deal is said to be worth around £8million.

However, Mr Blair denied he was making any "personal profit" and said the £8m figure was incorrect.

Mr Blair already works for several governments and high-profile organisations including the rulers of Kuwait; JPMorgan Chase, the bank; and UI Energy Corporation, a South Korean oil company.

The former leader is believed to have earned more than £20m since leaving office.
