"Tony Blair took a last-minute decision to cancel his key book-signing in central London because of security fears, days after unrest at a signing in Dublin in which eggs and shoes were thrown at the former prime minister.

Mr Blair said he was cancelling the event, due to take place today at Waterstone's bookshop in Piccadilly, central London, "to avoid the inconvenience to the public it would have caused". A spokesman for Mr Blair said most people who had gone to the signing in Dublin had wanted to meet the former leader and get books signed, but a small and vocal minority had grabbed the headlines.

Mr Blair was met with a hail of shoes and eggs at his signing on Saturday, but was not hit.

Four men were arrested."

but the war criminal was not...yet!


But hey, here's a brilliant idea that could be used all around the world!

Apparently, people have been going into bookshops and removing Blair's book from the 'Biography' section, or wherever it is, and placing it instead in the 'Crime' shelves!
