Well informed documentary on the crimes of Tony Blair
A well made, low budget documentary produced and presented by George Galloway, former Labour MP and scourge of Tony Blair's New Labour. The film obviously focuses on Blair's role in the invasion of Iraq in 2003 and its aftermath, followed by his role as a Middle East 'peace envoy'. Blair's actions in supporting George Bush's drive for war in Iraq are well known and documented already and so most of the footage or analysis offers nothing new. What is more interesting is the details of Blair's other exploits both during and after his time as British prime minister. These include his relationships with banks such as JP Morgan who employed Blair as an adviser or big business, such as Rupert Murdoch's media empire who Blair cosied up to. The documentary's strongest point is in detailing the vast amounts of money Tony Blair has made since leaving office through various speaking engagements and advisory roles. Tony Blair is a man who has made vast wealth from speaking to and advising all sorts from big businesses to violent dictators. All the while he benefits from taxpayers money paying for his security detail to protect not just him but also his many properties. Various talking heads including politicians, journalists, diplomats and political activists are on hand to provide analysis including strong contributions from former minister Clare Short and writer Will Self. The film is let down somewhat by George Galloway's ego which sees him feature prominently throughout the film. And at times he gets carried away by his sense of his own importance. But if you can tolerate Galloway, it is an otherwise very strong documentary on Tony Blair, a figure who will live long in history as a pariah and war criminal.
A MUST Watch by anyone caring humanity
This is a documentary revealing factual information about Blair's political and personal decisions and their impact on millions around the world. It is very well researched documentary and a MUST SEE not only for political analysts but also for any ordinary person in the world. The film shows how Blair manipulated the British Labor party and the Parliament to push through the decision to support US invasion of Iraq and how he supported the selling of the WMD idea to the world. It really is an eye opener about deceit and lies people are being told by those who are in power to make a fortune for themselves.
Impressive evisceration of Labour PM
Thought it'd be good to give another view on this as I suspect the only other reviewer of this title on this page at the moment hasn't actually seen it, and just has an axe to grind. I'm no fan of Galloway but he's made a decent film here. It certainly isn't guilty of having 'no structure', and I'd say Galloway is better at this sort of thing than the disingenuous and dishonest Michael Moore. Galloway eviscerates Blair, pretty much every aspect of his premiership (he believes his only two successes were the minimum wage and the Northern Ireland peace process); such complete takedowns of one politician are quite rare. While there is a great deal of focus on Blair's engagement in the Middle East (his wars, followed by his risible role as a 'peace envoy'), there's also much on the astonishing amounts of money Blair has made. He apparently has around 30 UK properties alone and could be worth £100 million. His other misdemeanours, like the Formula One sponsorship scandal, don't go un-noted. Seeing Blair in full flow takes people like me right back; the mannerisms, the verb-less sentences, the doe eyes, the halting delivery, the cheesy grin... what a chap! While I personally disagree with some of Galloway's conclusions - that, for instance, the terrorist attacks we now see in Europe are entirely due to Bush and Blair, or that he 'destroyed' the Labour Party (he won them three elections!) - he's made an entertaining documentary that is not without historical value. Made with professionalism, wittily edited and with plenty of historical footage and an impressive array of talking heads, this a good watch for anyone interested in British politics.
A must see!
Don't consider the 1 star reviews on here; you'll notice they avoid reviewing the documentary. This is a shocking story that everyone needs to hear. Blair should be behind bars, how he's managed to avoid prison doesn't speak too well to the British judicial system. Anywhere else in the world (US excepted) he most certainly would. The parts showing his involvement in the middle east as a peace envoy / come mediator are truly shocking. It would seem that it is solely about money at all costs. George Galloway deserves a lot of credit for standing up and telling it how it is and those who contribute from the press and Cherie Blair's own sister also deserve a medal.
Ever felt embarrassed to be British ? No, then watch this.
Having Galloway, a well known Blair hater, is potentially off putting for many people but actually he does a pretty good job. It is a fairly low budget documentary but I actually quite enjoyed the cartoons and the news reels. There is an impressive array of well known, articulate and I would say mainly non-biased politicians, journalists and commentators, lining up to provide very unflattering views and examples of Blair's odious activities in and following his prime minister-ship. Suffice to say I don't think his wife and one of her sisters will ever speak again. Some things were skirted over, such as his role in David Kelly's death and the 'sexing up' of the 'dodgy dossier'', for which Blair and Campbell as a minimum should have been imprisoned for, but I guess that could have been a documentary all on its own. Ultimately, whatever your view is on Blair and the Iraq war, most sane British people that see this must think how can it be right for a recently serving prime minister to so quickly move into a role which is netting him tens of millions of pounds a year working for renowned despots and dictators. Watch the film and make your own mind up. I was not a fan, and after watching this, I have lost even more faith in society, politicians and the rule of law in this country. Watch this and feel embarrassed to be British.
