This site offers a reward to people attempting a peaceful citizen’s arrest of the former British prime minister, Tony Blair, for crimes against peace. Anyone attempting an arrest which meets the rules laid down here will be entitled to one quarter of the money collected at the time of his or her application.

Money donated to this site will be used for no other purpose than to pay bounties for attempts to arrest Tony Blair. All administration and other costs, apart from any charges added to your donations by Paypal, will be paid by the site’s founder.

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. Please remember that the account will remain open, regardless of how many have already claimed a reward, so new donations will continue to encourage have-a-go heroes.

If, beyond 31st December 2010, a bounty is claimed when the total fund has fallen below £500, the successful claimant will take the whole pot, which we will then seek to replenish. The fund will remain open for as long as Mr Blair lives, or until he is officially prosecuted. If it still contains money after his death or prosecution, the remainder will be donated to one or more organisations campaigning for international justice, or used to pursue other people responsible for the Iraq war. You will be welcome to nominate recipients.

let him know how we feel on friday

i think the 1/4 million policing means no one actually will get to arrest the lying, mass murdering psychopath when he goes before the (toothless) inquiry on friday. but i really hope loads and loads of people are there outside the inquiry to shout to him in no uncertain terms just how much he is loathed by the british people and how some of us will not be satisfied until he goes before the international court in the hague for crimes against humanity. and make sure the cowardly sack of shit doesn't sneak in the back door unopposed.

Watch Out for Dodgy PayPal

I love this idea. It's a good one.

But perhaps a bit more planning too: PayPal was bound to block payments to the site as soon as it looked like donations were going to go up. It has stopped at about £9,000 - though perhaps direct transfers will also be made. Alternatives to this should have been in place from the very start. Though I'm not sure which ones....Anyway, it's a good initiative and useful to learn about these things!
