Truth stretcher Tony Blair pelted with eggs at book signing

Read Time:1 Minute, 6 Second

Eggs and shoes have been thrown at the former British prime minister Tony Blair as he arrived at a book signing in Dublin, Ireland. It happened as he arrived at Easons on O’Connell Street to sign copies of his autobiography. The missiles, which were thrown by anti-war protesters, did not hit Mr Blair.

Three people were arrested as activists clashed with Irish police at a security barrier outside the bookshop. Around 200 protesters demonstrated at Mr Blair’s role in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan on one side of the street on Saturday morning.

On the other side, more than 300 people gathered to get a copy of his book signed. It is Mr Blair’s first book-signing since the publication of his autobiography. There is a large police presence in the city.

Groups represented at the demonstration included the Ireland-Palestine Solidarity Coalition and the 32-County Sovereignty Movement. Richard Boyd-Barrett, of the Irish Anti-War Movement, accused Mr Blair of making “blood money” from the memoirs. Mr Blair has said he would hand over the reported £4m advance payment for the book plus all royalties to the veterans organization, the Royal British Legion.

His memoirs detail his accounts of life in Downing Street, the Iraq war, the 9/11 terrorist attacks in America and Princess Diana’s death. MORE

Butchery (as Nikolai says) + undermining international law and the UN + lying to Britons …

Being pelted with eggs is light punishment indeed.

Blair looks stoned in that picture. Good for the folks who pelted him with eggs! After his part in the butchery of Iraq, Blair “returned to his Catholic roots.” Yeah, go to confession Tony, and everything will be alright. Fuc*ing hypocrite.

Wow is that thumbnail picture the very epitome of unctuous smarminess or what?

What a terrible waste of food. He’s another one that should be behind bars for war crimes for Iraq.
