Blood-Money Blair Cashing in After Launching Economic Advice Firm


Tony Blair (centre) enjoys the fruits of condemning millions of civilians in Iraq, Afghanistan and the former Yugoslavia to death and disablement.
'He has set up the commercial partnership, called Tony Blair Associates, after receiving permission from an official government watchdog, which scrutinises paid employment undertaken by former ministers.
The joint enterprise will provide "strategic advice on political and economic trends and governmental reform", according to the Advisory Committee on Business Appointments.
It is thought to be the first time that a former British prime minister has launched a money-spinning venture based entirely around their experience at the helm of government.
The firm is the latest scheme employed by the 55-year-old to cash in on his record as Britain's longest-serving Labour prime minister.
