Wanted: Tony Blair for war crimes.

( Sorry if this is the wrong forum )


"Arrest him and claim your reward." says George Monbiot, an environmental and political activist who has a weekly column in The Guardian newspaper.

"There must be no hiding place for those who have committed crimes against peace. No *civilised country can allow mass *murderers to move on."

Oh good grief, what next?

There have been similar demands for the arrest of George Bush and Dick CHeney.. not something to laugh about. the charges are pretty serious and well substantiated.. but that doesnt mean they will ever be arrested...

An arrest of FMR PM Blair or Bush would send both nations into chaos (not that there isnt already but lol)

Although technically Blair could be held accountable under ICC jurisdiction, Bush and Cheney cannot be.

Of course, it won't get anywhere because New Labour's corruption knowing no bounds, they'll be able to "pull strings" and "have influence" like they always do.

An arrest of that monster would send the best possible message to the world.

Justice, perhaps? Honesty? The "civilised" values that Bush and Blair and the rest of the gang keep insisting that they've been "spreading" to the world?

Surely no one is going to take this seriously. Or if they do they almost need to be arrested. Thats not to say they haven't done things wrong. But if your going to try and arrested some one because of a wanted add some one put out. Your well..off or possibly a bounty hunter of sorts.

Well some of you may think this is no laughable matter, but I'm highly amused by it. It completely tickled me, still does, and I am not going to apologise for having some humour.
Although, the subject matter itself is not amusing, and the principles are right, I find the idea someone performing a citizens arrest on him rather funny. Could you imagine his face! Haha. I'd love to see someone try, but I doubt theyd get very far.
Biggest problem would be how to go about it without incriminating yourself in the process. lol

It's funny, but, I can understand the frustration people feel, it seems Blair is now making millions after taking us into a war (or more precisely, following Bush into a war), and everythings going well for him now, the rest of us seem to have been screwed (then, again, most politicians do that anyway).

That said, I need £9,000, maybe I should try and find him and arrest him, or "arrest" Rory Bremmer (a British comedian/impersonator who does impressions of Blair), while he's in Blair costume, by the time, they figure it out, I'll be gone with the money! (a bit like Blair!).
