In response to Blair’s critics over war in Iraq, ‘Do they really suppose I don’t care, don’t feel, don’t regret with every fibre of my being the loss of those who died?’
(Tony Blair – A Journey)
Bliar’s stinking rotten twisted memoirs have been published. I am tempted to buy this journey into warmongering, self-flagellation, defensive, twisted right-wing morality and self-justification piece of fiction but my local independent bookshop haven’t stocked it…yet maybe they don’t want to sully their “New Books” shelf. So in the meantime I have read extracts in various papers.
His legacy as a warmongering criminal (and let’s not forget the proxy wars either) has been seared into the history books along with being the architect of NL… the greedy grasping liar who makes his money through private enterprise and makes a lot of it as well.
No matter how much rehabilitation, self-justification or revisionism there is Blair is still a war criminal with blood on his hands and no amount of trying to show the flawed human side is going to change my mind. Blair didn’t have to go to war, he choose to do so based on lies. That’s why he’s a damned Bliar.
My understanding of the practice of Christianity is to be able to confess your sins in order to gain redemption. To gain redemption Blair has to acknowledge and admit his sins in public. In Blair’s position you can’t privately grieve for what you have done while publicly justifying your actions.

Absolute sheer brilliance this…..Seems (via Twitter) that people are moving Bliar’s book to either the fiction section or crime section. Certainly true crime fits the description!
This book might be handy for poison treatment clinics to use to induce vomiting.
Were you a librarian, harpy? Where’s the best place for this book, the “fiction” section?
Tim,
Ha! Now there is a function for Bliar’s memoirs….Who needs emetics then…
Actually I think it could be either the fiction section or true crime….
