The right thing to do, an honest gesture
A cynical ploy for forgiveness
As good as an admission of guilt
Great PR, should sell even more books

I think I'm a day late with this. Oh well, such is life, working nights.

Jan posted here about a week ago, suggesting Tony Blair could be prosecuted under laws governing the making of profit from crime. Now, a twist in the tale. Have his spin doctors come to the same conclusion?
The former PM, in which capacity he sent British troops into no fewer than six war zones, has already pledged in the region, I believe, of £5m to the Royal British Legion and promises proceeds from his new autobiography also, to benefit the wounded upon returning home. Some papers, such as Wigan Today, have gone as far as to call for a boycott of the book, and families of those killed and injured in conflict have expressed anger.
Let us know what you make of this, on the poll.
