Blood money or a grand gesture

[Highlander]

Where do you stand on the news that Tony Blair is to give the profits from his book to the British Legion.

For me, it's a grand gesture by a man with blood on his hands which I wish he had kept private.







Changed the spelling in the title to 'blood'

I doubt he'll make many friends whichever way he plays it so he might as well let people know what he is doing. I think it is a great thing to do and it makes no difference to me that it was made public. Good on him.

Whatever any one thinks of Tony Blair I firmly believe he did what he thought was right at the time, I think he is a decent honest man with a conscience.
Whatever he does people will find fault with.

Did he make it public or is it that no-one can do anything without a reporter picking up the story?
At least he didn't keep it.

Damned if he does, damned if he doesn't.  Glad he chose the way he did.

I think he is was a power urinated warmongerer that just wanted his name in the hall of fame. Apart from introducing the minimum working wage war is all he did. He should give the whole lot to the British legion not just the profits which he would pay tax on.
Lets hope it goes some way to helping those injured in his wars, no such jestures from his little puppet Brown

If you have not seen The Ghost then it's worth a pop. Out on video now I think. Here's an interesting article from Peirce Brosnan who played him:

He should be answering questions in The Hague not writing books - end of story.
