Newspaper columnist and author George Monbiot has launched a website offering guidelines for people seeking to undertake a citizen's arrest of Blair, as well as accepting donations to reward those who try.
The site says anyone who made an attempt that was carried in the mainstream media would be entitled to a quarter of the money raised at the time they applied for the reward.
It also offers guidelines for making the symbolic arrest, including to "calmly approach Blair and in a gentle fashion to lay a hand on his shoulder or elbow, in such a way that he cannot have any cause to complain of being hurt or trapped by you."
Would-be arresters were requested to then say, "Mr. Blair, this is a citizen's arrest for a crime against peace, namely your decision to launch an unprovoked war against Iraq. I am inviting you to accompany me to a police station to answer the charge.”
It also offers tips on cooperating with the police and preparing for interviews afterward.
Arrest Blair.
