Tony Blair

It is interesting to see (and hear) Tony Blair pooping up on the media here there and everywhere all of a sudden. According to his own report there is about to be a breakthrough over the Gaza blockade through a deal he has brokered. If this is so it is very good news. Negotiating conclusions to historic enmities is his greatest strength. 

I wonder if we heard and saw little of Blair before, because of sensitivities about the response from the previous occupant of  No 10. Or could it be that now that Labour is in opposition he feels free to take a higher profile?  Then again perhaps as Chilcot progresses he thinks he needs to stack up some Brownie points. Just in case.

But anything that improves the situation between Israel and the Palestinians is more than worthwhile. Tony Bair should now concentrate on this issue above everything. I believe his job is unpaid. No matter. Most everything else he does is overpaid.
