    A well made, extraordinary documentary

    The legacy of Tony Blair is now laid bare for the whole world to see in this excellent documentary. It's debatable whether Tony Blair was a decent person when he became Prime Minister of Britain, but what's for sure is that power went to his head and in the end he was totally out of control and he did what the hell he liked. And hell is what he created in Iraq.

    This documentary brings together all the damning evidence against Blair which demonstrates, without a doubt, he is morally bankrupt as a human being. His behaviour since invading Iraq has been absolute diabolical. He basically jets around the world and say or does anything (including praising and "advising" a brutal dictatorship like Kazakhstan's) for personal financial gain.

    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.

    Probing, revealing and disturbing

    Everybody in the nation knows that this man is and was corrupt and deserves to be behind bars... the scary thing is that Chilcot or not, absolutely nothing will happen or him... ever! A great documentary that does Galloway great credit as the man whoa always said and is still saying what people seem to be too complacent to hear. Blair has helped to turn the world into a minefield, has destroyed his own party, has destroyed socialism and has ensured that his people are fast approaching a state of penury... he sowed the seeds and prepared the ground for all of Cameron's greed fest... he is a murderer, a thief and a liar... and for this he is still paid in millions by fellow criminals. welcome to the 21st century!

    It's all there...

    Some of us knew what he was. Now everyone can see. I think the worst calumny in his whole dodgy career was as a Peace Envoy in the Middle-East. Pity the poor, bloody, occupied Palestinians.

    As somebody once said, it's not the despair that's so hard to take, it's the hope. And, in this respect, Blair does indeed let everybody down. His legacy, if that's what you call it, is still with us today. You can see it in the Parliamentary Labour Party: going to the high court to appeal against allowing Labour Party members a party leadership vote. And using party members' funds for the privilege.

    The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.

    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.

      In order to fully understand the pain some people have been through at the hands of Western soldiers, George Galloway was waterboarded. The footage never made it into the film as it was too harrowing.
