Besieging the queen, withdrawing the former prime minister’s honor
London – More than a million demand the revocation of Tony Blair’s knighthood. The main reason is the war in Iraq.
The number of signatures on the petition demanding the revocation of the knighthood of former British Labor Prime Minister Tony Blair crossed one million on Friday.
Blairt II. He was elevated to the rank of knight by Queen Elizabeth. To the high honor of the former government in the light of the main past of the past, when the court announced the royal accolades for the traditional New Year.
Just a few hours later, a call appeared on the change.org petition portal that Tony Blair is the personality who deserves the slightest state award, not to mention the recognition that the ruler personally donates.
According to the petition, Blairt – during Britain’s presidency during Britain’s massive social protests in the Iraq war that began in 2003 – is held personally responsible for countless civilian deaths, leading to prosecution of war laws.
The call demands that Boris Johnson, Prime Minister II. Withdrawal of Queen Blair’s knighthood at Queen Elizabeth.
The number of petitioners has exceeded one million on Friday night, and the number of subscribers continues to grow by hundreds every minute.
Blairt, the 95-year-old Queen, is one of the world’s most exclusive knightly communities, the Order of the Garter, III. He was inaugurated as a member of the Knee Band Order, founded by King Edward in 1348.
The Order of the Garter, the British Knighthood, has a maximum of 25 members. It is always a member of the ruling monarch, who can appoint new members to the other 24 seats in his or her own jurisdiction without government recommendation.
The men are entitled to bear the forename of the Lady, the female members of the order, that is, the official address of the Prime Minister of the Volta party, Sir Tony Blair.
Between 1997 and 2007, Blair headed the British government, winning three consecutive parliamentary elections as leader of the Labor Party, the current largest British opposition force, breaking a record in the party’s history.
Blair’s view was greatly worsened by British military involvement in the Iraq war, which was extraordinary in Britain before it began: a popular demand of 2.5 million in London before the start of operations prevented the British armed forces from joining the war.
It was the biggest demonstration of all time in Britain.
Public opinion was finally tuned against Blair as a result of a British investigation into the background to the Iraq war.
An unprecedented and recent inquiry into British political history, led by former senior diplomat Sir John Chilcot, began in 2009 and ended in 2016: In March 2003, at the start of the war, the regime of the then dictator of Iraq, Saddam Hussein – with official justification for military intervention – it posed no direct threat to the outside world.
The Chilcot Commission’s twelve-volume, 2.6-million-word report says at least 150,000, “but much more,” Iraqis lost their lives in the war and post-armed chaos.
According to the investigation report, the vast majority of the victims were civilians.
