ADMIRERS of Tony Blair have paid £180 a time to have their photographs taken with him.
It is the latest gimmick to boost the former prime minister’s earning potential on lecture tours. As many as 100 people will be whisked through in a one-hour session in which they will meet, but barely greet, Blair while the cameras flash.
“It’s a unique souvenir,” said Norman Stowe, one of the organisers of an event that Blair is being paid to attend in Canada next month, which has sold out.
