Comment: The heat is certainly increasing for Bliar. But I'll be very pleasantly surprised if he is forced to go anywhere near a Tribunal. Although our Tony is a sociopathic war criminal the more likely culprits behind Semtex supplying was the Anglo-American Establishment as a standard part of their "Strategy of Tension." Although I think the reasons for this class action is misguided, it is part of a growing consensus that Bliar has reached the end of the line. Let's hope something is in the works to remove this despicable little man sooner rather than later.

Tony Blair is facing the threat of legal action over his alleged intervention in a multi-million pound compensation claim by British victims of IRA terrorism.
Lawyers for around 200 victims say the former prime minister and other government officials appeared to have “connived” with Colonel Muammar Gaddafi to block their claim against the Libyan regime that supplied Semtex for the attacks.
They accuse Mr Blair of assisting a rogue regime to kill off their class action in a “scandalous and perverse” move and are considering taking both the former prime minister and the Government to court in the UK.
The lawyers are also demanding to know whether Sir Vincent Fean, a former ambassador to Libya, “misled” MPs and peers over government involvement in the case.
The Telegraph has obtained an email that appears to show that Mr Blair intervened on behalf of Col Gaddafi in a long-running legal row over compensation for victims of Libyan-sponsored terrorism.
The email suggests that Mr Blair helped to broker an agreement between the former Libyan leader and President George W Bush which saw Libya pay £1 billion in compensation to American victims of terrorism but effectively ended the compensation hopes of the British victims of IRA attacks, who had been pursuing Gaddafi through the US courts.
