Bagehot: The persecution of Tony Blair | The Economist:"And Iraq is not the only reason for the former leader’s fall. The great paradox of Mr Blair was always that, while possessing a fine ear for the anxieties of middle England, he never seemed altogether British. He was too hard to place socially, too religious, too damn cocksure. And in retirement this oddity has turned toxic. Having set his sights on emulating Bill Clinton’s success as a global statesman and cash cow, he has accrued a fortune of over £60m and over 200 employees across multiple consultancies and foundations."
