Disbelief: Tony Blair accepted GQ's philanthropist of the year award at a glitzy
ceremony in central London

‘Tony Blair was last night improbably named philanthropist of the year by a leading
magazine.

The former prime minister was handed the award to a ‘muted’ response at a
celebrity-packed gathering in central London. It was in recognition of
his ‘philanthropy, establishing three charities’.

GQ magazine’s decision drew immediate criticism, with Labour MP John Mann
saying last night: ‘It sends the wrong message. This sort of award should go to an
unsung hero who has given up their time for charity.’’

Tory MP Charlie Elphicke pointed out that Mr Blair has advised Kazakh leader
Nursultan Nazarbayev, including on how to improve his image after his police killed
14 unarmed protesters.

He said: ‘It is jaw dropping that he should be given this award given his
involvement in spinning the alleged brutal massacre in Kazakhstan.

People will be greatly concerned and wonder if this was the right decision.’ Gary
Lineker tweeted: ‘Apparently, Tony Blair has won GQ’s philanthropist of the year
award. Finally these awards have grasped irony!’

The GQ Men of the Year awards are popular among celebrities with many A-listers
attending last night, including Kate Middleton’s sister Pippa and the model Cara
Delevingne.

Legacy: The decision to honour the former Prime Minister provoked immediate
reaction on Twitter

On receiving his award at the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden, Mr Blair, 61,
said: ‘I would like to dedicate this award to the people that work with and for my
organisations.’

He and his wife Cherie have a property empire worth an estimated £30million,
having bought homes for their children.

Earlier this year, Mr Blair, who earns millions of pounds a year from his consultancy
roles and charges fees of £250,000 for public speaking, was forced to deny being
motivated by money.

He insisted: ‘In respect to my new life, first of all, I have to say that reports of my
wealth are greatly exaggerated. Just for the record, I read I’m supposed to be
worth £100million – Cherie’s kind of asking where it is. I’m not worth that, half of
that, a third of that, a quarter of that, a fifth of that ... I could go on.’

Sherlock Holmes actor Benedict Cumberbatch, Doctor Who’s Peter Capaldi and Love
Actually star Colin Firth all won gongs.

Former Beatle Ringo Starr picked up an award for his humanitarian work and
Pirates Of The Caribbean actor Johnny Depp presented punk pioneer Iggy Pop with
the ‘icon’ trophy.

The tribute to Mr Blair on the GQ website read: ‘In 2007 Tony Blair stepped down
as prime minister, but his surging momentum’s shown no signs of slowing.

‘Alongside his role as a Middle East peace envoy, Blair’s channelled his energy into
philanthropy, establishing three charities.

‘The Tony Blair Sports Foundation pairs volunteer sport coaches with children in
Britain’s North East and his Faith Foundation aims to reconcile the three Abrahamic
faiths, but his most ambitious is the Tony Blair Africa Governance Initiative.

‘Tony Blair – the Middle East Peace Envoy – threw a lavish birthday party for his
wife on Friday night at their country bolthole in Buckinghamshire, while the grim
death toll from the Gaza conflict passed the 1,050 mark.

Mr Blair, whose role is to hammer out a ceasefire in times of conflict between the
Israelis and Palestinians, spent most of last week in the UK before hosting the
couple’s friends at the party, estimated to have cost about £50,000.

He held the surprise 60th birthday party for Cherie at their £6million country
mansion South Pavilions, formerly the home of Sir John Gielgud, inviting 150 of
their closest friends, which included former New Labour ministers, as well as wealthy businessmen and TV celebrities.’

“Dodgy Dossier” to Newspaper “Editor”: War Criminal Tony Blair Re-invents Himself.
By Felicity Arbuthnot

Global Research, July 06, 2012

6 July 2012

http://www.resistradio.com/images/tony-blair-war-criminal.jpg


We came and turned the native Arabs into tragic refugees. And still we dare to
slander and malign them, to besmirch their name. Instead of being deeply ashamed
of what we did and trying to undo some of the evil we committed … we justify our
terrible acts and even attempt to glorify them…”

(Erskine Childers, 1870-1922.)

Even by the standards of a seemingly increasingly partisan British media, the
decision to invite Tony Blair to Guest Edit the London Evening Standard on 27th
June, the fifth anniversary of his leaving office was, well, bizarre.

The Standard (established 1827) gained early eminence for its detailed foreign
news. Within little over forty years of its founding, reporters had covered the
American Civil War, the Austro-Prussian War and the Franco-Prussian War.

Fast forward to the turn of this century when well grounded fact checking had
apparently become less relevant. The last time Blair “edited” The Standard (or
apparently detonated all editorial scrutiny and detachment) was on 24th September
2002, when the newspaper’s bannered page one (i) read: “45 Minutes from Attack”
with a picture of Saddam Hussein and: “Dossier reveals Saddam is ready to launch
chemical war strikes.” The full front page was taken up by the then Prime
Minister’s “revelations” of the (first) “Dodgy Dossier.”

Blair’s current editing foray was heralded by a breathless interview with him by
Sarah Sands, the actual Editor, in his offices: “with a view of the American Embassy
from the window”, the room adorned with photographs of him including with: “…
Arnie Schwarzenegger, and crowds of laughing African children.”

Tony Blair’s stated global vision includes his “Africa Governance Initiative.”

Further: “Whether in the Middle East, faith, Africa, climate change … my focus is on
devising long term solutions to some of the world’s most difficult problems”, he
states modestly. (ii)

The mass graves and apocalyptic destruction in the Balkans and Iraq, the near
world beating corruption in Kosovo – where streets and children are named after
him – Iraq’s despotic, nepotistic US-UK choice “Prime Minister” – whose improbity
and inability to restore or to halt the collapse of even basic services, burdens under
which the population stagger daily -hardly reflect beacons of hope for his
messianic, megalomanic, planetary “long term solutions.”

Back to the Standard interview. Incredibly, he cites Iraq’s growing economy and
falling infant mortality rate: “It will end up with a happy ending but it has to go
through what the whole region has to go through which is to put religion in its
proper place and to realise democracy isn’t just a technical system but an attitude
of mind”, opined the man of whom George W. Bush said: “We pray together” and
who, of course joined that chilling “Crusade.”

However, infant mortality in Iraq “dropping” from the death-dealing embargo
years? Iraq, with the second largest oil reserves, is now a shocking nine places
below Zimbabwe in neo-natal deaths on the world scale.

Moreover, Doctors in the 2004 bombarded city of Falluja have been “overwhelmed”
by birth defects including: babies with two heads, Cyclops eyes, no eyes, no brain,
no limbs, paralysis and a cancer epidemic.

“Iraqi children being born with birth defects has been devastating families for
years. A July 2010 study showed that increases in infant mortality, cancer and
leukaemia in Falluja surpass those of the atomic bomb devastated cities of
Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945.”(iii)

In fact, Fallujah’s nightmare has been mirrored across Iraq, near ignored by the
world, since the 1991 attacks and years of US-UK subsequent bombings.

Meticulous country-wide surveys, succour, remedial action, de-contamination –
mobilized by the relevant international bodies – and compensation from the
countries responsible, should be a priority of Blair’s vaunted “global community.”

Iraq’s victims certainly qualify as being amongst “the world’s most difficult
problems.” From 1997 when Blair became Prime Minister, culminating in the 2003
assault and consequent additional contamination, Blair’s Whitehall with Washington
were allies in creating Iraqis Hadean plight. .

Afghanistan, also invaded by the US and UK under Blair’s premiership has the
world’s highest infant mortality.

Seemingly though, he has long forgotten Afghanistan and moved on from Iraq,
apparently unaware or uncaring that since the latter’s 2010 “free and democratic
elections”, Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki has controlled all security Ministries in the
country, thus presiding over summary executions, secret prisons, with allegations
of near industrial scale torture rampant.


“Today Tony Blair takes my place as editor of the Evening Standard. He has
embraced the role but I am confident that it is not the big job he is looking for.
Anyone interested in politics will witness his return open-mouthed”, concluded Ms
Sands fawning article (iv.)

In “open mouthed” she had a point. In his “Editorial” (v) Blair opines:


“…where there has not been revolution, we should actively promote evolution.
People often say: learn the lesson of Iraq. Actually, I have …”

So unimaginable bloodshed now becomes “evolution.”

What a way the jobbing, stand-in “Editor” has with words. Facts, as we know, are
anyway a “far away place of which (he seemingly) knows nothing.”

This from a man who, after a terrible bombing of shoppers in Omagh, Northern
Ireland, on a sunny weekend in August 1998, killed thirty one people, including
nine children and an eighteen month old baby, he rightly condemned: “an appalling
act of savagery and evil.”

He continued:


“I have seen sights here today which will haunt me for the rest of my life. If
anything happened to one of my children, I would go mad with grief.” But his
enjoined “savagery and evil” silently killing Iraq’s children day after day, year after
year, resultant from the embargo’s denial of medicines – of parts and chemicals to
purify the water – of imports resulting in death by malnutrition – even when they
were not actually being routinely, illegally, bombed.

And: “learned the lesson of Iraq”? In March 2006, asked on Sky News if he would
have taken the Iraq action if he knew then what he knew now, he replied: “I most
certainly would, yes.” In December 2009 he was again asked if he would
have “gone on” if he had known there were no weapons of mass destruction, he
replied: “I would still have thought it right to remove him”, said the Attorney,
married to a Judge, who has seemingly forgotten the law. (vi)

At the Chilcot Inquiry on 29th January 2010, perhaps one and a half million
resultant dead later, he repeated that he had: “ No regrets” and said Iraqis were
now better off and he would take the same decisions again.(vii)

The Evening Standard was taken over by Russian billionaire Alexander Lebedev in
2009, as the major shareholder, with a commitment to make the paper more
progressive, to reconnect with Londoners.

Tony Blair’s Big Day seems to have fallen short of “reconnection”. Out of 123
speedy responses on one site, 119 were less than polite, some were of the: ”If he
wants a voice it should be in Court from the Dock” sort of genre.

A “binblair” Twitter page speedily sprung up (viii) with a vociferous and succinct
Bianca Jagger amongst those weighing instantly in.

By 4th July, US Independence Day, he may have been looking especially wistfully
at that neighbouring American Embassy :


“He feels like an alien in his own country. He feels despised – and that is very
difficult for him” a “friend” told the Financial Times, quoted by Mark Donne in the
Guardian (4th July) who added: “and however many feature spots he is offered by
national newspapers, the message should be clear and demonstrated in any way

possible by us all: We haven’t forgotten.” Ouch.

Oh, and the: http://www.arrestblair.org/ site is still offering a reward.
