'Subversively move Tony Blair's memoirs to the crime section in book shops'
This Facebook was created on Friday 3rd September. Since then it has attracted over 5000 members as well as many examples of Blair's book being moved to crime and other appropriate sections in UK bookshops. The publication of Blair's book has switched attention back onto his illegal invasion of Iraq. There was an attempt in Dublin to effect a citizen's arrest on him for war crimes committed.

Oh dear ! I don’t like him either, but probably for other reasons.
ReplyDeleteIn Europe (continental, that is), his party would be called “socialist”. And yet he never was a lefty. Mind you, the Belgian (Sicilian as a matter of fact) Elio di Rupo, or, for that matter, the French Ségolène Royal never were socialists either. Cheating on the electors, that’s what it is.
As a Scot, he stubbornly drops his native accent. Shame on him. Sean Connery, even when impersonating a Lithuanian submarine commander and admiral does keep it, even to the extent of a caricature !
And of course, the invasion of that most democratic of nations, Iraq.
Ask the families of the hundreds of your “boys” who presently suffer thyroid cancers, Hodgkin's disease and other avoidable conditions because of the enriched uranium handgrenades they threw what they think of it. Mind you, their very own weapons, not the enemies’!
When I look at all the English, Scottish, Australian, New-Zealand(ic), Pakistanese, Indian, Welsh, Manx etc ... patronyms on the monument in Ieper/Ypres, all missed in action after the first use of combat gases on the banks of the river Yser, it makes me sick and I cannot help but think they did it again during the Gulf War(s). And what about cutaneous leishmaniosis ?
Warfare is a professional’s job, true, but medical diseases unrelated to fire-arms is another matter altogether. You don’t expect that when you sign up.
Not to speak of the poor people of Iraq: collateral damage, of course.
Thanks Luc.Good to see that the Facebook group continues to grow - now nearly 6500 members.
