The intention is to encourage repeated attempts to arrest the former prime minister. We have four purposes:
- To remind people that justice has not yet been done.
- To show Mr Blair that, despite his requests for people to “move on” from Iraq, the mass murder he committed will not be forgotten.
- To put pressure on the authorities of the United Kingdom and the countries he travels through to prosecute him for a crime against peace, or to deliver him for prosecution to the International Criminal Court.
- To discourage other people from repeating his crime.
We have no interest in people’s motivation, as long as they follow the rules laid down by this site. If they try to arrest Mr Blair because they care about the people he has killed, so much the better. But if they do it only for the money, that is fine too, and we will have encouraged an attempt which would not otherwise have taken place.
The higher the bounty, the more people are likely to try to arrest Mr Blair.
More details of the bounty here. (It's almost up to £10,000).
And bravo to George Monbiot for launching this initiative.
P.S.
If you're still unconvinced of the criminality of Tony Bliar, then please read this, this and this.

Hi Gregor,
many thanks for your comment.
I couldn't agree more when you say
if nations could remove any leader they wanted there would be chaos so national sovereignty is a principle well worth defending,
To launch a war of aggression against a sovereign state is the supreme international crime.
And that's why it's important that Blair is arrested. Let's not forget he did it in 1999 too.
