It does please me. However, it pleases me more that members of the general public can recognise this man as a charlatan, and are willing to do their bit to convey their disenchantment with his literary (and I use that word in its most loose sense) effort.
I hope it flies like a brick budgie.

Sooner or later it will appear on the web as a free ebook download - even then it won't be worth reading.

The thing about this tome is that Tony Blair wouldn't recognise the truth if it hit him in the gob...so how can we believe what he tells us is the truth on the events which he scribbles about.
You know what they say about the man who has a clear conscience.....he has a very foggy memory!

Unfortunately, your sentiments are not reflected in those of the book-buying public. Copies are fling off the shelves faster than a Harry Potter:

Doesn't it go to prove that a fool and his money are soon parted?

Whatever anyone may think of Tony Blair or his book, he has given all the proceeds from the book sales to an Arm Forces Charity. Something in the region of £4million I believe.Just maybe he deserves just a little bit of credit for doing that.

Credit, credit, that's nothing but blood money, shows his conscience is catching up with him, but he hardly needs the money does he, hes milking his premiership for all it will make:mad::mad::mad:

There is a likelyhood that (being so filthy rich) his income is assigned to a 'company' or a 'sole trader',
which means he will get some tax relief for the (indirect) donations to the British Legion

No credit whatsoever, it's a cheesy Google Page Ranking stunt. The man's the lowest of the low and fully deserves his present status as an international pariah.

Nope, I don't subscribe to that at all. Methinks this money that is pledged to the Forces Charity is not only to salve his conscience, but also to show him in good light, when really he should be standing trial with his friend George Bush for putting the forces in danger in the first place.
I think he is a duplicitous, greedy, egomaniac......and I wouldn't wee on him if he were on fire. It would be a waste of water.

A bit strong for you, Margaret...mind you, I totally agree.

I think you may be on your own on this one, Bernard!

Wether it is "blood money" or not .. it's £4million more than the present government will be donating to the British Legion!
