Taking into account the political knowledge and lucrative connections that Blair has accumulated during his term of office as the Prime Minister of Great Britain, should he be allowed to take up this particular position?

Or could he be leaving himself open to even more accusations of sleaze?

As far as the jobs concerned, I don;t see why not, and as for accusations of sleaze, water off a ducks back to him, mr Teflon man.

My hpe is that it'll all catch up with him, and he;ll end up in prison.

I always wondered why he supported Bush. Would he have landed these lucrative contracts from the USA otherwise?

[Bazile]

Juicy jobs for Ex prime ministers , Ex MP's , current MP's - of all political persuasions .

So what's new there then ?

[jno]

they think he'll be able to offer insights into world affairs. They're quite likely right. How much they pay him is their business. Do you feel former prime ministers should all enter monasteries for the rest of their lives? (Or nunneries where appropriate.) That would be rather a waste of their abilities.

Shouldn't that first B in the title be a W?
