Tony Blair could be hauled before the courts over the Iraq War 'after Chilcot Report show he misled Parliament to justify the disastrous 2003 invasion'

It was based on 'flawed' intelligence and war was 'not the last resort' at the time
Bereaved families of 179 war dead have called him 'the world's worst terrorist'
They want to pursue him through the courts and raised £150,000 in two weeks

The charges in the Indictment that the defendants planned and waged aggressive wars are charges of the utmost gravity. War is essentially an evil thing. Its consequences are not confined to the belligerent states alone, but affect the whole world.

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.

So lawyers are asking people to raise money to pay for lawyers to go to court and argue against more paid lawyers?

Even though QC's (highly paid law type people) have already said it's impossible, he can't be sued as a "head of state" and can only be impeached by parliament and no one in their right mind is going to do that as opening a 180 odd year old precedent could back fire on them if they ever **** up

He is not and has never been a head of state.

What is needed, however, is for the War Crimes Act (which is already retrospective) to be expanded to include the crime of Aggression.

No chance of execution I suppose? A public beheading at Tyburn would be a great tourist attraction.

It's a good enough argument for having a royal family so why not?

Fantastic news for the lawyers, they've almost managed to come up with a plausible reason to spend other peoples money on themselves a court case.



Chilcot report did state that the intelligence services did think Iraq had chemical weapons so Tony Blair is more or less in the clear. He did exaggerate, but don't think that's enough, the point was Military Intelligence got it wrong.

Well good luck to them ! but they might have a better chance suing MI6.

Still will be great for the lawyers....
