    The War criminal gets a gong

    Disbelief as Tony Blair is handed philanthropist of the year at GQ awards 2014 | Mail Online

    Tony Blair was last night improbably named philanthropist of the year by a leading magazine.

    The former prime minister was handed the award to a ‘muted’ response at a celebrity-packed gathering in central London. It was in recognition of his ‘philanthropy, establishing three charities’.

    GQ magazine’s decision drew immediate criticism, with Labour MP John Mann saying last night: ‘It sends the wrong message. This sort of award should go to an unsung hero who has given up their time for charity.’
    Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

      To initiate a war of aggression, therefore, is not only an international crime; it is the supreme international crime differing only from other war crimes in that it contains within itself the accumulated evil of the whole.

          How's that going by the way? Has it improved over there since he got the job three years ago?

                I can't let that one past without the obligatory:
                Very good.

                  Shouldn't that read "Tax efficient money moving vehicles"?

                    GQ is full of tulip anyway

                    he got that award (as did many other people who got awards) simply because they needed to make a high profile gig and so invite some 'celebs' and give them a 'gong' .

                    Means feck all
