Tony Blair announced the up front payment form his memoires
and any royalties will be paid to the British legion.
the anti war, anti Tony Blair brigade say he's just trying to wash the blood off his hand. while this may be true, it's still a large chunk of change. they also say he made 20 mill after leaving office (so what) the thing is people who need faced death for their country during the 2nd world war and subsequent wars are having 4 and a 1/2 mill donated to their charity.
the anti war/Blair brigade say the British legion shouldn't accept it. wtf why on earth shouldn't they accept it. so my question is this. do some or many of the anti this and that brigade actually have any decency or common sense?
that they are prepared to tell a charity not to accept funds seems ludicrous to me. are principles that strong, should such principles be heeded?
needless to say, the British legion accepted the donation with great thanks, a thing I think was the right thing to do; whatever your politics or views on war.
what do you think?
