This is something I learned from The Alternative Iraq Enquiry

Tony Blair gets
5,000,000 pounds a year from JP Morgan
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/7186975.stm
the very same bank that was selected to operate a bank the United States created in Iraq to manage billions of dollars to finance imports and exports

You can't, realistically, not have corruption when that sort of thing is allowed.

Wouldn't it be nice if he spent all his ill gotten gains defending himself at his war crimes trial

That is what they were saying last night after the film, that the real problem is the way society is structured and he was behaving in the way elites always behave.
They were also saying that Blair should be tried in The Hague. I agree with that.

But would his Mrs charge him for her services? Legal, that is!
I always though that I would never buy a second hand car from him, right from the beginning. Awful person.
His job with the bank just shows how much *ankers stick together.
