No rebranding for war-criminal Blair!
Twenty-six creative artists in various disciplines ask
Eason's and RTE's Late Late Show not to facilitate Mr Blair's
promotion of his autobiographical book and the blood-money of his
royalties that he proposes to pass on to military charity.
Brian Cowen has stated that creative people have a duty to uphold 'Brand
Ireland.' We feel the best way to fulfil the duty would be to ensure
the cancellation of this notorious war-criminal's visit, so that
Ireland cannot be turned into a launch-pad to reinvent Brand Blair as
good-guy and peace-maker. (Late Late appearance, Sept. 3rd; Eason's
book-signing, O'Connell Street, Dublin, 11 am Sept 4th.)
