Return Of The War Criminal Tony Blair

Having devastated millions of lives as co-conspirator in the illegal and immoral Iraq war - and then having raked in millions of pounds through business contacts made during his time as prime minister - war criminal Tony Blair is apparently trying to edge his way back into British politics.

Miliband, the current Labour leader, revealed that Blair will be giving advice on the 'Olympic legacy' - and in a sickening display of sycophancy, praised the warmonger and thanked him for what he had done for the Labour party and Britain.

Unless you're Ed Miliband, it's difficult to ignore the fact that one of the main things Blair has done for Britain is to cause the country to become widely reviled in the Muslim world. Figures vary, but the Iraq war - illegally launched on a complete fabrication about supposed weapons of mass destruction - is estimated to have resulted in the deaths of well over 100,000 people.

The terrible violence and massive body count in Iraq has evidently not weighed too heavily on Blair's conscience, and he has carved a highly lucrative business career since leaving office in 2007. Blair's earnings for 2011 were estimated at £12million; though due to a complex network of partnerships and companies he is able to avoid publishing a complete account of all his commercial ventures, and his full income remains a secret.
