    I reckon Gordon should try and get Bliar lined up with a directorship with Accenture or EDS on his departure.

    Fraud office is investigating £28m deal agreed by Blair
    Originally posted by The Times
    A CONTROVERSIAL deal personally approved by Tony Blair to send a multimillion-pound air traffic control system to Africa is being investigated for corruption.

    The Serious Fraud Office and Ministry of Defence police are looking into allegations that BAE Systems paid backhanders to the Tanzanian Government for a £28 million military air traffic control system.

    The Prime Minister overruled Gordon Brown and other Cabinet ministers to approve the deal, despite warnings from the World Bank that it could have bought a non-military system for a tenth of the price.
    But this was the funniest bit:
    The deal was financed by a £40 million loan from Barclays Bank, which caused further anger because the debt was paid from aid given to Tanzania by Britain to assist sustainable development, including primary education.
    What a world statesman Blair is, eh? Everything he touches turns to sh1te.
