SOYMB reads that Blair has made at least £20 million since leaving Downing Street in June 2007. The full extent of his income is cloaked in secrecy because he has constructed a complex web of shadowy companies and partnerships which let him avoid publishing full accounts detailing all the money from his commercial ventures. The former Prime Minister tried to keep the public in the dark over his dealings with South Korean oil firm UI Energy Corporation and went to great efforts to keep hidden a £1 million deal advising the ruling royal family in Iraq's neighbour Kuwait.
Although not the SOYMB's favourite paper the Daily Maily writes about the secret contracts, shady oil deals, foreign multinationals, Middle Eastern rulers and a former prime minister whose cosy relationship with the U.S. was bought with the blood. He is profiting from taking Britain into a war in Iraq that much of his country was against, and doing so on the false premise that we were under threat from weapons of mass destruction.Blair is now using his official role as Middle East Envoy to drum up business in the region. Blair prostitutes himself for money.
The Times also recently reported Blair's wealth . His consultancy, the London-based Tony Blair Associates (TBA). One friend of Blair said: “TBA has been set up to make money from foreign governments and major companies. There’s a focus on the Middle East, because that’s where the money is.” He flips his roles on a daily basis in official meetings: one hour, he is the official peace envoy meeting a Middle East minister or ruler; the next, he is a representative of the banking giant JP Morgan.
