Tony Blair police protection costs

Now, who'd want to hurt this guy? I think we should save the £250k pa.

our money is it? and yet they want more from us,how much blood can you get from a stone?

 

Call me old fashioned but he's not the prime-minister any more, in fact he's just joe public, so why am you and I footing the bill for the cnut.

If he's worried about his security then he should have f-in well thought about that before he fucking dragged us into Iraq. He doesn't want protecting he wants fucking locking up for being a war criminal.

 

Perhaps he believes he needs protection from the public that still loves him.

From the link I posted above:-

"Mr Blair's office rejected calls for him to pay policing costs, arguing he spent most of his time on unpaid work.

This included projects in Africa, his role as a Middle East peace envoy for the Quartet powers - the EU, the UN, the US and Russia - and his faith and sports foundations.
'Good job'

A spokesman said: "Mr Blair has a very high regard for the professionalism of his protection team.

"They do a fantastic job, often in very difficult circumstances particularly in the Middle East.""

As you say he's "joe public" now so I don't understand how he can claim these expenses.

 

yes, and i am mother teresa, who does hi think he is? or all of these so called leaders that suposse to look after "US" their so called subjects in the u.k.?
nando.

 

Why dont we just chip in and get him a micromark alarm, panic button and a baseball bat, would be cheaper!

So he can finally realise how quick the police respond these days then maybe with his own experience more money can then go towards the police force as a whole and not just to protect his new teeth!

i second that fully,
nando.

 

Yeah, I am sure he earns a pittance from his paid work - does he get a PM pension as well by any chance?

 

He earns fucking millions a year from his talking tours, sure he does mostly unpaid work if you look at the time split but the reality is that he earns tens of thousands for a few hours work when he does.


Why the **** should we foot the bill for his lifestyle. if he needs protecting let the israelis pay for it, he's helping them out, he does **** all for me.

let his wife pay for him, after alll she earns more, the bitch while our wifes work harder and earn nothing near that thing,
nando.

 

I got no issue with her earning millions, if she did, she gets naff all from the public purse.

But him....

 

Id divorce her and take half!

A matter for national security I believe!
