‘Teflon’ Blair went to Dublin yesterday to sign copies of his new book for an hour.
Dubliners were shocked that the city’s main street was closed for four hours and a ‘ring of steel’ erected round the bookshop to protect the former prime minister. He was, one supposes, hoping to be welcomed as one of those involved in the Northern Ireland peace process. Instead of which he was met by a barrage of folk protesting about his role in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. One woman who announced she was making a citizen’s arrest was, apparently, swiftly removed by four security personnel
It is reported that eggs, plastic bottle and shoes were thrown at Mr Blair.
But, apparently, they all missed.
