A father's grief and anger boiled over yesterday when he came face to face with the man he blames for his son's death. Tony Blair offered his hand to Peter Brierley during a reception following a service at St Paul's to commemorate the dead of the Iraq war. `Don't you dare,' roared Mr Brierley. `You have my son's blood on your hands.'

Tony Blair, the favourite to become Europe's first president, is believed to have accepted tens of thousands of pounds from a steel billionaire campaigning for Ukraine to join the European Union. Victor Pinchuk, who is championing the country's bid for EU membership, has already hired Stephen Byers, the former Labour cabinet minister, to press his case. He reportedly paid Blair to give a keynote speech in Ukraine. Ukrainian diplomats are preparing to launch a membership bid as early as next year and consider Blair a key ally. Several European countries support closer economic ties with Ukraine but have not directly backed a bid. Some, including Germany, are concerned that closer links with Ukraine may jeopardise relations with Russia.

Oh godz teeth
Please show your support for Tony Blair through this period of "trial" by signing this petition. [UPDATE] Fair treatment of his part in the war is all the more important at this time since his alleged war crimes are now being used to undermine his possible bid for the post of EU President.
However, that part of his pro-US/anti-EU behaviour over Iraq that is uncontested is sufficient to prevent any euroentric person considering him fit for High European office. keep to the Fen Causeway
