Much attention has recently been paid to an article by Max Tegmark, in which he gives the odds of nuclear armageddon arising from the Russia-Ukraine war as one in six. It’s a highly reductive analysis (of the sort one might expect from someone with a mathematical background), which might explain both its apparent appeal and the trenchant criticism it has received.
Tegmark doesn’t document his chain of reasoning in any serious way – he just pulls probabilities out of thin air – so while it’s difficult to infer his prior assumptions, many who consider the risk of nuclear war to be high seem to make a few false assumptions:
- That the use by Putin of tactical nuclear weapons (TNW) would turn around the situation on the battlefield, absent a military response from the West.
- That the non-military consequences of the use of TNW wouldn’t be that dangerous for Putin.
- That increased support for Ukraine by the West would increase the risk of full-scale nuclear war, and decreased support would decrease the risk.
I’ll address each of these in turn.
Tactical nukes don’t smell like victory
There’s no clear way to define a TNW, but roughly speaking it’s a relatively short range, low-yield weapon – anything up to 30 kilotons, or perhaps as high as 100 kilotons. Regardless of the precise definition, everyone agrees that Russia has the world’s largest and most varied arsenal of TNW, with many Russian systems (such as the Iskander surface-to-surface missile) having been designed for both conventional and nuclear use. It’s debatable whether their doctrine on the use of TNW would really allow them to be deployed in the event of, say, the Ukrainian Army entering Crimea (would that amount to a threat to the “very existence of the state”?), or whether the Russian state apparatus – those who would have to sign off on it – would back Putin if he decided to use them. It’s also debatable whether individual officers would obey a launch order, knowing that the retaliation from the West could be personally fatal; but nevertheless, they do have the weaponry.
As discussed recently by Justin Bronk and also by William Alberque there are, broadly speaking, three possible scenarios for the use of TNW.
First, a “demonstrative” test in an unpopulated area (say, the Black Sea or the Novaya Zemlya Test Site). This would be tantamount to breaking the long-held “nuclear taboo” without any result except to strengthen Western support for Ukraine, and being extremely damaging for Russia and its interests around the world. This therefore seems very unlikely.
The next scenario would involve a strike against a Ukrainian population centre, which would definitely break the “nuclear taboo”. Again, the military value would likely be small, but the political fallout would be huge, not just from other countries but also from the Russian population – many of whom have relatives in Ukraine. Thus it would not only turn the world against Putin and the Russian political elite, it would make them vulnerable internally. The idea that such a strike would demoralise the Ukrainian military and population, rather than make them ever-more-implacably opposed to, and even more fiercely determined to defeat Russia, is at best questionable: the moral effect could, instead, be the complete collapse of the Russian will to fight. Again, this scenario is very unlikely.
This leaves the third scenario: battlefield use of TNW. The first problem here is that these weapons aren’t as devastating as people tend to think. For example, a simulation of a large (30kt) TNW airburst over Mariupol gives a result with significantly fewer casualties than what Russia “achieved” with conventional weaponry, and leaves the majority of buildings still standing. A simulated 10kt detonation wouldn’t really be life-threatening to humans much beyond a mile.
Such an attack wouldn’t necessarily confer any real military advantage unless there were large concentrations of Ukrainian forces in the blast/radiation zone – but this doesn’t match the Ukrainian disposition of forces. While Russia would have been able to destroy Azovstal and its defenders with a single TNW, other such concentrations of forces would be hard to find, let alone target in such a way that Russian forces wouldn’t also be in the danger zone (impossible on the front lines), meaning Russia would have to expend large numbers (dozens, or even hundreds) of nukes in order to destroy enough of the Ukrainian forces to achieve a strategic effect – and this would of course raise the risk of a Western military response very greatly.
But this brings us to the next problem, which is the effect on Russian forces. Regardless of what TNW could do to Ukrainian troops, there would also be the very considerable risk that Russian troops (already severely demoralised and prone to desertion) would be so stressed by witnessing the use of TNW that they might flee. They obviously don’t have hazmat suits and almost certainly no potassium iodide on hand, and while some of them may have been stupid enough to dig trenches near the Chernobyl NPP earlier in the war, I doubt they’re unaware of the possibility that deadly radioactive fallout could easily land on them. They might also believe that even being in sight of such a blast would make them vulnerable to radiation sickness or later cancers – and depending on the distance, that could well be true. It would take a brave officer to order an advance through an area recently hit by a nuclear bomb, with any assertions (however accurate they might be) that the post-blast risk would be minimal being scarcely credible.
But there’s another problem. As William Alberque notes:
Ukraine does not operate with a large enough concentration of forces to justify a 10–100 kiloton blast. Smaller nuclear weapons would be of even less use, as below 10 kilotons, their effects are overtaken by those of high-end precision mass-effect artillery, such as the Tornado-G and -S and the TOS-1M/1A and TOS-2, especially when using thermobaric warheads.
In short, not only could battlefield use of TNW in Ukraine be massively counter-productive for Russia, in the end it might only barely be more effective than conventional systems.
This is of course to assume Russian TNW systems actually exploded as intended, that the Ukrainian Army (with a roughly 50% kill rate) didn’t shoot down the missiles, and that they weren’t destroyed using HIMARS or other systems while being transported and prepared for use. Russia stores its nuclear warheads in a few well-known locations, and uses special troops and transport methods for nuclear warheads that would likely (though not definitely) be observed in advance. In addition, any build-up to the use of TNW would require Russia to ramp up its overall nuclear preparedness, which would be obvious to the West (and therefore Ukraine). Essentially, Ukraine would have advanced notice and could prepare accordingly.
Putin would also have to consider that the nuclear fallout could disperse over hundreds of miles and pose a serious risk to the civilian population not just in Ukraine, but also potentially in Russia. That’s unlikely to be popular. And the annihilation of significant parts of the territory that Russia seeks to conquer, while leaving behind a lot of irradiated material that could make certain areas uninhabitable (or at least agriculturally unproductive), would vitiate the purpose of the invasion to such a degree that Putin could hardly claim much of a victory.
Tactical nukes are no Wunderwaffe, and indeed Putin does seem to be aware that their value to him lies in having them, not using them – which is why he takes the greatest possible advantage by (implausibly) threatening their use every other week.
There would be a non-military response
There is of course the likelihood that Russian forces in Ukraine would be targeted and severely degraded by NATO following any use of TNW (thus losing Putin the war much more quickly), but less attention has been paid to the non-military ramifications of breaking the long-held “nuclear taboo”. This is presumably because the near-inevitable military response is far more exciting to consider, but what else might happen in the event that Russia used TNW in Ukraine?
One likely outcome is that Russia would find itself cut off not just by Western nations but also by China, India, Brazil, Hungary and other fence-sitters. In being cut off by China – on which it now depends very heavily – it could potentially lose not only a major hydrocarbon market but also the ability to import many goods, especially high-tech goods – without which it couldn’t rebuild its already heavily depleted military, not to mention the wider economy. And while this wouldn’t happen overnight, it could result in a total collapse of the Russian economy. The first against the wall would be Putin, but he might hope to survive as a puppet of Beijing – although that would depend on internal Russian politics, and partly on the Western non-military response. In short, walking away from Ukraine ought to be preferable to Putin than to lose Ukraine and his few remaining friends.
Breaking the nuclear taboo could also cost the support of usually-reliable countries like Iran and North Korea. Leaving aside the dubious fatwa against the use of nuclear weapons, Iran would have to consider that accepting the use of TNW could be to invite Israel to deploy them against Iranian nuclear facilities, some of which are buried deep underground to protect against conventional “bunker-buster” bombs; but in any event, it would greatly increase the odds of Israel launching strikes against Iranian nuclear facilities in the near term. Given this, it may not be an entirely unconnected fact that Iran has not accepted the results of the sham referenda in the occupied parts of Ukraine, which some consider might be a precursor to the use of TNW.
Even North Korea would likely have to condemn the use of TNW, not just due to pressure from Beijing, but also because it knows that a world in which nuclear weapons are actually used (rather than merely developed shoddily) would put itself at risk of a pre-emptive conventional or TNW strike from the US, which it most fears.
Further, there could be severe direct impacts on Russian elites resulting from the near-inevitable confiscation of all Russian-held assets in the West, and the possibility of serious divisions and political instability inside Russia that could be stoked by Western intelligence services, which (so far as is publicly known) have not attempted to meddle in post-Soviet Russian internal affairs. Besides information warfare and on-the-ground subversion of Russian politics, it’s even possible that more gung-ho outfits like the CIA might get into the already-popular Russian defenestration game.
In sum, Putin and his inner circle would have to consider that using TNW would be to paint a massive target on their own back, even in the absence of a Western military response.
“De-escalation” doesn’t mean weakness
As noted by Tegmark in response to some of his critics, the term “de-escalation” is often misunderstood. It doesn’t mean appeasement, capitulation or even necessarily some form of compromise.
In a hostage situation where armed police are surrounding a building and a negotiator is called upon to persuade the hostage-taker to give himself up, the means of de-escalation is to persuade the hostage-taker – from a position of strength, and in a calm and reasonable manner – that any of his escalatory options, such as shooting at the police or killing the hostage, will leave him worse off in the end. In short, “we have a bigger stick”.
Such it is with Ukraine. Reducing support for Ukraine in the face of Putin’s nuclear blackmail would only be the “first sip of the bitterest cup”, condemning Ukrainians to slavery and emboldening Putin (and others) to repeat the trick, greatly increasing the chances of facing a nuclear conflict of some kind further down the road, and leaving all countries not under a “nuclear umbrella” even more vulnerable to exploitation by the mad and the bad. It would also greatly incentivise non-nuclear states to develop nuclear weapons, and greatly decrease the credibility of a number of security guarantees (particularly the U.S. nuclear umbrella), causing a seismic shift in international relations and creating a much more dangerous world for us and future generations.
The correct means of de-escalation in this current environment is to communicate to Putin (and his inner circle) that nothing – including the use of nuclear weapons of any sort – will help his cause. Given that he may not yet have realised that he will lose this war, the best means of communicating that fact would be to increase Ukraine’s fighting strength, since if this is a dangerous moment for the world then it’s because the support so far provided has not been of the overwhelming kind. Providing modern tanks, jets and longer-range missiles would be truly decisive – and obviously so to the Russian population. This is Putin’s off-ramp in the face of a restless populace: “Don’t blame me, it was NATO wot dunnit.”
And thus can we purchase peace in our time for Europe.

Tony Blair, A man who has made millions off the misery he has caused to the Human race.
A servant of evil, who only seeks to do what personally profits himself regardless of the costs to the plebs.
Lying genocidal war criminal Tony Blair.Why would anyone take health advice from such a repugnant man who is so clearly connected to the forces of evil
That photograph is worth a thousand words.
All that is missing is a bullet hole in the forehead. That would make my day.
Three letters – WMD – Three words – Doctor David Kelly; One consequence – Indicted as a war criminal at the ICC, The Hague.
There is no statute of limitations for these acts.
Indeed; if one needs to seek out real evil then look no further than Blair.
I cannot fathom why people still listen to this guy.
I didn’t read the article, because to make sense of it, I’d have to understand what Blair’s said recently. I don’t want understand what Blair’s said recently. He’s a war criminal, he doesn’t deserve to be alive.
The criminal pontificates about everything under the sun; most of which he knows nothing. Anything touching upon morality or ethics from this amoral creature is as ridiculous as the dishonesties issuing from Johnson, who is in many ways a reflection of Blair.
It’s a pity anyone pays him any notice.
His brand is so toxic in the UK that he promotes a cause best if he says nothing. Outside his own country I think he is more respected, a bit like Hillary C and Gorbachov.
B L I A R is a long-time self-serving hubristic player in the globalist machine.
His help was key in delivering the War on Terror not against the Saudis who funded and aided 9/11 – you know that US soil international media event that killed thousands of decent hard working citizens – it did however mandate the backlash which did destroy the lives and functioning nations of Iraq, Syria and Libya. Three clues as to why Asange remains a political prisoner?
Why did this happen folks?
GloboCap needed the Halliburtonisation of the remaining underdeveloped MENA oil fields to keep the plates spinning.
Allowing them the time and aligning the chess pieces to fall into place as to where we find ourselves now.

Thank you for this.
Tony Blair is an idiot. (A good actor though).
Actually, a worryingly large number of politicians are idiots.
I’d say ~90% idiots, ~10% evil psychopaths.
Blair is firmly in the latter group.
I still like to believe the odd one or two are decent, at least at the outset, but I may be being wildly optimistic. They seem determined to keep out at all costs anyone who might actually change things if Farage’s attempt to get elected in South Thanet is anything to go by.
Hard to believe that someone like Hancock hasn’t got something wrong with him though.
Hancock is just afoot soldier – a creature of Davos doing ‘the Master’s’ bidding!
Hancock is a fool without an iron cross to show for it.
Decent idiots.
Yes, if he was merely an idiot we might all be better off
Only a “large number”? More like +95%
Tony Bliar is the reason I don’t believe anything politicians say, ever. If he hadn’t cried wolf about weapons of mass destruction, I might actually have believed the Covid narrative. He cemented in my brain the idea that politicians cry wolf to get what they want: in his case, his illegal war.
Blair demolished so many institutions to weaken our democracy and pave the way for what we are now experiencing.
He has been nothing more that a Globalist Operative since his meeting with George Soros in New York, 1997
In case we all forget, he was and remains very vocal about “tax avoidance”.
I would encourage all, who may have a sliver of doubt about the criminal hypocrisy of this disgrace of a human being, to research the structure of his former business empire which was convoluted and structured to reduce…..tax liability.
And that ignores the very smelly sources of his “wealth”; “Do as I tell you to do, leaving me free to do the exact opposite, and no, there is nothing wrong with me capitalising on my hard work in tax payer funded public office”
Actually, surely the real argument is that anyone taking medical advice that could seriously affect their health in the short and the long term, making use of a medical product still going through trials, from a former lawyer, journalist, primary school teacher, the pharmaceutical company making enormous profits off of it, is the real idiot?
Blair is being paid to push the vaxx, that should be clear. Or, perhaps more correctly, the apartheid app, which seems to be the end goal.
NL just announced yesterday that at least 3 more ‘boosters’ are planned for 2022 and 2023, maybe more if needed (i.e. if pfisser tells the government this is necessary). It also came out that the Council for the Judiciary issued advice for the cabinet and parliament on November 17 regarding 2G for the apartheid app, which was highly critical of 2G. The government withheld this advice from parliament (by accident, of course), which was originally supposed to debate the matter at the beginning of December. The government ‘remembered’ the advice and distributed it to parliament 2 days before Christmas.
If Tony Blair advises something, it is imperative to do the exact opposite. Whatever he advises will never be for anyone’s benefit but his own. This man claims to be a believer. Then he should be very, very afraid of where he will be headed.
I seem to remember the Guardian mocking claims about Thatcher working to end apartheid in South Africa “behind the scenes”. I wonder where the… idiots are now on the health apartheid?
I seem to remember Nelson Mandela coming to London and being far more popular with the British than TB was at the time. I never thought that Blair would actually collaborate in a form of apartheid though.
Blair will collaborate with whatever will be beneficial for his bank balance and will keep him relevant.
When he first became PM, he had his finger very much on the pulse of UK politics and society, certainly far more than the Tories at the time (I lived in the UK at that time). He was a gifted politician (this is an observation, by no means meant as a compliment). He realised his time as PM was coming to an end, I think he would have held on longer if he thought he could have. He still had some political nous at that time.
Over the last 10 years he has turned into the UK’s version of Hillary Clinton – has completely lost the ability to read the room, cannot (or will not) understand he is yesterday’s news. He still believes he can be a global leader of some sort. So now he prostitutes himself for whoever pays the big bucks and has the pull to get his face in the media.
Tony, take your millions and please just slither off into oblivion.
Very well said. In many ways I’m happy for him to remain in the public eye; he is so universally loathed that he makes an excellent front man for the enemy. When I met my recently boosted lefty Covidian sister over Christmas I was able to drop in passing that she was now in alignment with Blair, who she detests. Not enough to wake her up but was enough to make her squirm!
Yes I was just thinking the same! Much better he is supporting vaccines rather than being on our side of things – just imagine if he became a spokesperson for the unvaccinated – it would set us back even further!
Slither is the perfect word. Tosser Bliar always had the ability to do press ups under snakes. And it’s very difficult to see the truth when your snout is buried deep down in the money trough.
“Do you know who John Profumo was, what he did, and how he made personal restitution for the mistakes he acknowledged he made – a role model for you?”
The Chunt is looking more like Golum every day !!,,
Is it like the Picture of Dorian Gray when the picture breaks?
He probably has a picture of himself in his attic (well, the attic at one of his houses), where he still looks young and handsome. The reverse of the Dorian Grey story, where the evil portrait was hidden.
I was shocked by the picture of him above. If your nature is reflected in your face, what does this say about him? He looks like a pickled walnut with a bad mullet.
He probably thinks his new look is biblical. I bet he is thinking that the mullet will make for distinctive statues. The cunt desperately wants to be remembered in history, I hope his wishes come true and he becomes history very soon.
Yes, if you didn’t know it was Blair, what would you say that man did for a living? An actor, perhaps, with that vain long hair, who played villains and Mafia leaders.
But he has very hard eyes. Those demon eyes ads got it right.
He looks like a high ranking criminal.
Skeletor with mullett. He did make a lewd gesture in a photo once, remember? Projection probably.
Too right! The state of it…
Swipe me. Put that ugly wreck in striped pyjamas a d it would make a perfect Kapo.
His family have witnessed that scene many a time…
The War Criminal saw 100 Conservative Rebels, 13 LibDems and a few other decent MPs vote against his wet dream of a “vaccine passport” based system of digital identity and a social credit system.
And he knows that there are far too many un-jabbed people in the UK to introduce it.
That’s what his disgusting statement was really about.
Yes, it’s disgusting that the man who was happy to bask in the reflected glory of Mandela is now happy to support health apartheid.
Blair has no morality – he sold his soul to Soros and Schwab for a place at the Top Tables!
Tony Blair seems to be heavily invested in the vaxpass/digital ID agenda – he is another global menace and not to be trusted – the fact he was wheeled out suggests to me there are some concerns in the hierarchy of the global menaces
I’m astonished, quite frankly, if anyone thinks he could help their cause.
The records show that his ‘Institute for Global Change’ has received grants totalling $30 million from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation over the years.
Ah. Well aligned with the forces of evil. A eugenicist too.
Great article Will – shame Mr. Blair almost certainly won’t read it.
If you are reading though Mr. Blair, you are an idiot, a hypocrite, a criminal, a liar, and someone who has ruined Britain and British politics.
And you are profoundly clueless about the Middle East. “Yes, let’s try and make Iraq or Palestine a liberal democracy”. Idiot.
Follow the first link and hey ho, whaddya know!
‘Sorry this video isn’t available any more’.
By the way – what’s with the hair, Blair? Are you aiming to be the poor person’s Richard Branson?
Try here: https://rumble.com/vr8nhd-tony-blair-if-youre-not-vaccinated…-youre-an-idiot.html
Much obliged to you, PartyTime.
I suppose the role he played in the invasion of Iraq … that was ‘a little undiplomatic’.
These are the really scary ones, those who believe that they know what is best for everyone, and will stop at nothing in order to try make ‘better’ citizens of us and make this world a ‘better’ place. And they will stop at nothing to create/maintain a platform that enables them to carry out their ‘mission’.
Blair unquestionably suffers from the God complex.
ALL of the individuals/groups around the world, who preach and admonish; they are the ones who refuse to look in the mirror. They are tyrants.
In reality we need rescuing not so much from those that would do us harm …. but from those that wish to save us.
Except he doesn’t wish to save us. He doesn’t give a shit about us. He simply wants more control, more power. He has nothing but contempt for the plebs.
This is the man who’s been pushing for vaccine passports/digital ID from the very beginning of this shitshow.
The story is that he was brought in to advise his friend Gove how to force them on the people by stealth .
That wouldn’t surprise me. Lying, deception, ruthlessness, fear-mongering etc – he’s truly a master in all sinister forms of influence and manipulation.
I prefer to think of him as a highly successful war criminal, who turned creating human misery into something of an art form, and subsequently a very profitable career. His pronouncements on vaccinations are just a sad old man’s very transparent attempt to stay relevant after his earlier genocidal successes.
TB, the man in the shadows, orchestrating the UK plandemic for his global masters
Yes…Blair “advising” the Fake Conservative Johnson Government on all Covid matters.
Why does this has-been have a platform?
Because he’s still part of the gang of criminals running this shitshow
The Lying Propaganda MS Media can make use of him.
Blair is utterly satanic, and should be taken to a public place of execution and hanged by the neck until he dies. The only sound I want to hear from him is his death rattle.
A total scumbag. It’s the equivalent of being forced to listen to lessons about morality from Jack the Ripper. I would gladly explain to Herr Blair who is the idiot, but only if he agreed to meet in person – one more Covid death.
I never used to believe in capital punishment.
That changed about 18 months ago .
Everyone behind the New World Order I would happily see swing.
In fact I’d be more than happy to pull the lever to stop the beyond evil bastards like him.
Sometimes it is said about a person- “he doesn’t suffer fools gladly”.
To me, it is that person who is the fool – they’re so busy thinking everyone else is a fool, they’re just too ignorant to realise it about themselves.
If challenged he would no doubt say he didn’t mean everyone.
The standard MO these days is to make a comment just to plant the seed in other people’s minds.
In this case there will now be countless numbers going around parroting the idea that unvaccinated people are idiots for no other reason than because Tony Blair said so.
Blair, the man who made me sooooo sceptical. In 2003 the UK was taken to war on this bastards lies. Remember 45 minutes to launch a WMD, couldn’t tell you what type of WMD (nuclear, chemical or biological). Ever since then I stopped believing and trusting politicians and questioning everything they say.
I still vote but always always a protest vote, the last time I voted was for the Birthday Party. Yes they are a joke party but at least they are honest.
Blair smooth talked and smarmed the destruction of a country ..it will never recover ….but then neither will Iraq!
Thank you Mark, very well done.
Again – it’s all quite simple.
I wouldn’t touch the snake oil.
I forecast that the invasion of Iraq would be a disaster, and that Blair was psychopathic poison – and would ultimately be lethal to the Labour Party.
Who’s judgment was right?
What happened to decent Labour politicians like John Smith?
“Idiot” ?
He is self -serving, devious and conniving beyond all imagination – those ‘Devil Eyes” in the 1997 Saatchi poster were prophetic!
Never was a campaign poster more accurate! He sold his soul to the Devil.
And you Tony, are a disgusting Globalist entity, seeking to fill your own pockets, whilst being part of the cabal that wants to destroy us and our way of life.
Is Tony Blair the Real Idiot Here?
Tony Blair is the real idiot anywhere
Stonkingly good article and it would warm my aged heart if the meretricious old fool of a war criminal could be made to read it.
I could stand being labelled an ‘idiot’ by such a creature as this; almost take it as vindication – but IDS said much the same yesterday on TalkRadio. He’s gone right down in my estimation, unless he one day apologises.
Yep – and Andrew Neil: possibly the most disappointing of them.
Not an idiot, just evil.
Bliar – the ultimate barsteward.
Needs to go to the Hague for war crimes
What a day for rejoicing that would be!
Mind you, he should be accompanied by Jack Straw, David Cameron, George Osborne, Bozo, Carrie etc, etc.
Listen to what Miranda Blair says. Twice, to fully understand it.
Then do the opposite.
Why is there a photo of William Hartnell at the top?
.
The Real Idiot, Tony Blair??? Hardly, that is MUCH TOO KIND a description for one of the vilest, most destructive human beings ever to have walked on this Earth.
State of it…looks like Bob in Twin Peaks.
I recognise that guy….
If we lived in a just world Blair would be in prison for war crimes. He makes my skin crawl.
His hair do says it all…
He has always followed the Science- mainly written by PhD students which was so obviously flawed.
Remember how he would tell the press if his son had had been vaccinated?
He personally is a weapon of mass destruction- that weapon is “power without accountability “
Bloody. Well. Said. Mr Blair is a scoundrel.
God no!…..please don’t give him the platform. Let him die quietly if you are not going to prosecute him.
Funny how his alleged backtracking re his choice of words has not been given as much media attention ….. He is one truly dreadful person!
Blair, the WEF’s agent in the UK and probably working in close contact with Boris Johnson?
Tony Blair: “Anyone who is unwilling to play Russian roulette with his/her health (or even life) by taking the vaccine is an idiot.”
I cannot stand champagne socialists, including this drip.
He’s 68 going 98 he looks terrible is it the evil within eating away at him?
Blair is a war criminal who should be in prison in The Hague along with Karadzic and Mladic.
According to Wikipedia (so it must be true!) Blair has assets of perhaps up to £100m. It also mentions that in 2010 his security guards claimed £250k in expenses from the taxpayer.
I cannot help but think that with assets like that, he should be paying for his own security!
Plenty of elderly people have to pay the cost of their own care from their savings and ultimately from the value of their assets. The taxpayer isn’t bailing them all out! And as a person wanting charge of the running of the country perhaps he should have arranged matters so that criminals and terrorists were deterred from attacks. The rest of us have to dial 999 and wait for a response! Why is Blair different? If the criminal justice system doesn’t deter attacks, what use is it?
