Protests Against Blair At Book Signing Eggs, bottles, and shoes thrown at the former Prime Minister

Recommended Posts

As Tony Blair attended a book-signing at O'Connell Street in Dublin, protesters threw eggs, bottles, and shoes at him for his role in the war against Afghanistan and Iraq. Four men have been detained for their involvement in the incident.

 

Despite the prosecution of the reporter who threw his shoes at former President George Bush, there are others who would risk the same fate to protest against former Prime Minister Tony Blair. Security forces have to treat such issues with severity due to the large number of protesters that the high-profile political personalities attract in response to their policies and actions. At Blair's book-signing, 200 protesters expressed their dissent.
