Why is Blair STILL protected?

-

A YeAr has passed since the Chilcot report proved that tony Blair lied through his teeth to the British people in order to justify his invasion of iraq.

so why did sir John Chilcot come to his rescue this week by saying that Blair was ‘emotionall­y truthful’ ahead of the war? sir John endorsed the former PM’s repeated claim that he acted ‘in good faith’, even though Chilcot’s report showed this was not true.

Perversely, the British establishm­ent continues to rally round Blair. Another example is how Attorney General Jeremy Wright intervened this week to shield him from private prosecutio­n for war crimes.

Blair is a very wealthy man, and thus more than capable of paying for his own defence.
