Blair cancels his book signings
It seems that one demonstration in Dublin was the final straw for former Prime Minister, Tony Blair as he cancelled a high-profile signing session of his new memoir in central London amid concerns over planned protests.
The Independent reports that Mr. Blair former prime minister was due to attend the flagship Waterstone's store in Piccadilly on Wednesday - where anti-war campaigners had promised a hostile reception. But he said he did not want to subject the public to the "inevitable hassle" protests would cause or use up police resources keeping order at the event.
How considerate of him.
