Blair, on the other hand, decided to 'rub the right's nose in diversity' (not his quote, I know, but clearly his sentiment), opened the immigration floodgates, more than doubled the muslim population within a decade and deeply, deeply fücked the country up, meaning he is hated by the right.
Meanwhile, his perceived 'red tory' ways mean he is hated by the left, while Iraq means much of the centre left hate him, too.
All in all, an impressive tally.
