I read with some disgust a few days ago an article (not the first on this subject) that highlighted how Tony Blair is slowly but surely extending his links with global regimes and entities as part of master plan that must surely be on a par with that of Lex Luthor - except his was fictional. Sadly, TB's march forward is not mythical, but his methods and tactics would seem as questionable as those with whom he strikes up business relationships. Worth somewhere between £60 million and £80 million, he trots the globe as though a hero and a fantastic strategist; what is not clear is why so many people want to give him vast sums of money when his qualifications for providing 'advice' are hardly very good.
Aside from a rather alarming typo (where Colombia was called Columbia in the article) the Daily Mail piece was rather informative, outlining things that go on between Blair and his companies, and the following countries:
Kuwait, Qatar, Columbia, Brazil, Switzerland, USA, The Maldives, Abu Dhabi, South Korea, China, Mongolia, Philippines, Kazakhstan, Albania.
What a weird list, eh? There are of course protestations that all is above board, that he's a UK tax payer, and that there's nothing morally or ethically or financially wrong with any of it. Hmmmmmmmm.
I actually think it's a huge embarrassment that an ex-PM with a record to keep quiet about is touting himself around the world.
