About bloomin time! Why does it take so long to feel the collars of these corrupt senior policican S? Still waiting for Blair to get his. Comeuppance! Don't hold your breath!

Totally agree.

The 2015 Conservative Battle Bus Fraud has still not led to a prosecution nearly 2 years after they committed the crime.

Justice is slow, but we'll get there eventually.

yep, hopefully Saint Tony will be next!

Bashir Al Assad : 13,000 alleged murders in Syrian prisons in the past 5 plus years.
Don't hold your breath I quite agree

[youngmafbog]

Yes, alleged.

We know what Bliar did though.

Whilst I think Blair has blood on his hands, I think they would have difficulty proving he broke the law.

If we are going to lock up every Prime Minister who took us into war, then most of them (and Theresa May) would be behind bars.

[ichkeria]

Exactly.
But it's so much more fun to pontificate about the devil we think we know close to home :-)
When we complain, say, about Islam Karimov boiling people alive there's no one at hand likely to be stung by the remarks

What a pity THATCHER is not here, to answer for her crimes! eh,

What ismost interesting at is the way that the timing has worked out, given the looming election, - it must have an effect on the French psyche.

Hope very much that it will not be too long before Blair is convicted of almost anything that will jug him.
