Blair's lucrative deal with hedge fund that bet on bank failures

I've just spotted this from the Daily Mail. What a character Blair is turning out to be. Hope they are dusting off those lie detector machines. I suggest the Iraq inquiry gets at least a dozen buzzing away whilst he "Yeah, but, no's" his way through his testimony.

Through a hedge backwards fund is more like it. It's getting more crazy by the day.
