A barman in a trendy East-End restaurant tried to perform a Citizen's Arrest on Blair - unfortunately he didn't succeed but full marks for trying!

Arrest

Oh I got all excited then ...only to be disappointed I was hoping he was getting his comeuppance ! Then I remembered Tony Blair was always a disappointment.

And war criminals often go unpunished

I saw the headline but didn't read the detail - pity it failed but I hope the barman didn't lose his job?

He should get a bonus. Maybe the other diners in the restaurant gave him some hefty tips. grin

Seems the barman resigned on the spot - hope he's got another job!

Too good to be true! Unfortunately.

I was getting excited too when I read that! Unfortunately the words I would like to use about him would not be allowed on here.

What a shame the barman resigned - I would have thought the bar would have become very popular indeed after that!

At least the guy tried! Apparently Tony Bliar tried to have a debate on Syria with him. TB has certainly got gall. He popped up on the radio recently giving his two penn'orth. I just couldn't bear to listen and switched him off in mid sentence.

Apparently this was the 8th attempt at a Citizen's Arrest. One of the Blair sons summoned their security whilst TB was trying to justify his actions to the barman. What a hero, the barman, not TB!

How brave - and thank goodness for people like that. What a shame he didn't succeed.

It won't happen but the guy should be awarded a good citizenship medal!!! I note the" B liar" family are well trained to run for help should dad come under pressure.
