The ridiculing of B-Liar continues apace !
The Mail today claims that he can claim up to £1.75 million tax relief as a result of his "gift".
Max Hastings does a piece, under the headline "Blair's £5 gift is designed to make himself feels better. The ret of us must just hold our noses".
and finally ... a brilliant cartoon. Man in office at the Samaritans answering a call "Dry those tears and wipe your eyes, Mrs Balir. Just how much money is your husband giving away?" |

There are still members of Adolf Hitler's family living in the USA under annonymous names receiving royalties from Mein Kampf (and such a badly written book)
The copyright of "Mein Kampf" is owned by the bavarian state. And - according to Wikipedia - the copyright has been relinquished for the English, Dutch and Swedish editions.

According to the Mail, amongst his (known) payments are -
£1 million a year for "advising" Zurich Financial Services (on what ???!)
£1 million a year from US investment bank JP Morgan (which, according to the Mail, is heading a consortium to "rebuild" Iraq, and stands to make billions as that economy recovers).
£1 million for writing a report for the government of Kuwait on the future of the oil rich state (and how would he know?). |

£12M would be a very conservative (boom!boom!) estimate of Blair's fiscal legacy. There will be a whole lot more going unreported - there is no doubt all politicians do this to some degree, but Honest Tone has reaped the benefits & rewards of being America's slave in ways most folk could not even imagine. Don't forget money makes money makes money, especially when: 1) your wealth is at this level, and 2) you have direct connections to the shadowy world of intenational invetsment banking/private banking. There are well-connected private individuals who can make £10m a year on the side through playing the financial markets (yes, even now), Bliar will be streets ahead of them! This gesture is a drop in the ocean primarily to try and repair his tattered public image, and will be even more of a gesture once his accountants have sorted the tax allowance from the charitable trusts etc |
