    Heads up for anyone who follows the antics of the disgraced former Labour Leader. Channel 4 has a
    documentary at 20:00 on Monday night will investigate the Blair Rich Project. Some may still hold
    to the view that the Middle East Peace Envoy is a force for good. Others may conclude that the man
    is a complete arsehole. Will this program be as balanced, objective and fair as Mr Blair was when he
    supported the American occupation of Iraq. Hopefully not.

    Here's another piece of the puzzle.

    Tony Blair's six secret visits to Gaddafi - Telegraph

    Tony Blair’s close relationship to Colonel Muammar Gaddafi has come under fresh scrutiny after it emerged he had six private meetings with the dictator in the three years after he left Downing Street. Five of those meetings took place in a 14-month period before the release of Abdelbaset al-Megrahi, the Lockerbie bomber.
    Mr Blair is coming under increasing pressure to make public details of all his meetings and discussions with Gaddafi. It follows the disclosure in The Sunday Telegraph last week that on at least two occasions Mr Blair flew to Tripoli on a private jet paid for by the Libyan regime.

    Among the new meetings uncovered by this newspaper is a visit to Gaddafi in January 2009, when JP Morgan, the US investment bank which pays Mr Blair £2  million a year as a senior adviser, was trying to negotiate a deal between the Libyan Investment Authority (LIA) and a company run by the Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska, a friend of Lord Mandelson. The multi-billion dollar deal, which later fell through, would have seen the LIA provide a loan to Rusal, the world’s largest aluminium producer.
    Here's the bit I really like.

    This newspaper can also disclose that the Foreign Office granted a visa for Gaddafi’s daughter Hana to come to Britain last year, even though she was supposedly killed in a US bombing raid in 1986.
    So this was concealed from the British public?

    WTF!!!!!

    Wordsmith - appalled as I am, nothing but nothing surprises me where Blair is concerned.

    He must know where an AWFUL lot of skeletons are buried...

    There really is no other word for Brown. He's simply a complete psychopath.

    There are plenty of other 'words' for him but your diagnosis is spot on.
