Has anyone seen the photo on it's rounds of Tony Blair on board an RAF flight looking through some papers on his lap????I hope you do...He is sat in a sideway's facing seat with HIS FEET ON A COFFIN DRAPED IN A UNION JACK....To think this thoughtless moron once was the leader of our country...It doesn't matter how much he apologises to us in general or to the poor Serviceman's family,,nothing can excuse this behaviour.....Angry LES...

not seen it, but how disgusting :-S

The photo is a fake.

Yes it's a fake photo.

Of course it's a fake - been around since 2012. I do wish people would check these things out before spreading the rubbish further.

"The above photo is circulating Internet forums and social networking sites that appears to show ex-Prime Minister of the UK Tony Blair in a military plane with his feet resting on a Union Jack draped coffin, which presumably is carrying the body of British soldier.

However the photo is fake and it the result of digital manipulation from a political blogger/graphic designer at BBDO.co.uk.

Since the photo has been intended as a political caricature by the creator, it is not recommended to circulate the photo unless clearly indicating that the photo is not genuine."

If it was real, the act of sitting with his feet on the coffin would have caused no pain to the family of the victim.

The act of circulating a photograph of the act, however, would have caused tremendous pain.

The is not unlike the act of thoughtless betrayal of somebody who says'Do you know what he just said about you?'.

But isnt real its a fake

'Much ado about nothing'. (William Shakespeare).

Who ever thought that Tony Blair would be associated with the word 'fake'? :-D

Who is brave enough to defend Tony Blair's values?

Tony Blair himself?

Who knows all the true details?

Politics is a fickle occupation as Ed Miliband will shortly realise after he moves into No. 10, accompanied by a smiling Nicola Sturgeon who enters quietly by the tradesmen's door.

"I have a dream ............................"!

Dermot, Surely you mean NIGHTMARE. :-(

The truth

If you google the photo you will find that is has the name "beaubodor" in the bottom right hand corner

Beau Bo D’Or is a well know cartoonist/graphic artist.

THE PHOTO IS NOT REAL!

What worries me most is the gullibility of people who believe that what they see on FB is 'real' without questioning it, it's the same mindset that the propagandists work to ( see the tactics of the 'far right' groups with their doctored photos and articles) .... and the online scammers, and the people who forward the most appalling xenophobic tosh in emails without ever once checking its validity.

:-S :-0

Exactly Rose. I don't like that there's a few people believing this rubbish and probably sharing it with their friends and family.

Leaving politic well out of it, this man is being criticised for something he never did which I find very wrong

I detest Tony Blair but I think its a nasty vile thing to do even to him and the families of soldiers that have faught and died in Iraq Afganistan .

And there are stupid people out there that actually believe tripe like this I think mainly because they want to.

Tony Blair's a weasel :-D :-D
