Blair doesn't qualify as a wise adviser

What a nerve! Tony Blair advises PM Prayut Chan-o-cha on the importance he (Blair) attaches to holding elections in Thailand next year.
I am no longer certain about what qualifies Britain’s former prime minister to advise anyone about anything.
Millions of UK citizens wished that someone had “dropped in” on him early in his premiership to advise him of the likely consequences of taking Britain into what many believe was an illegal war in Iraq, the consequences of which are now clear for all to see.
Further, he allowed a decade of uncontrolled immigration into the UK without the consent of the people, which has changed the very character of many places and put extreme and continuing pressure on health, education and housing services.
