Ex-UK PM Blair 'tried to save Qaddafi:' report
2015-09-01
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] British former Prime Minister Tony Blair is set to be the subject of a UK parliamentary inquiry after allegations in a new book that he tried to save late Libyan dictator Muammar Qadaffy
... who had more funny outfits than Louis XIV...
back in 2011, the Times of London reported on Monday.

According to a new biography of current UK Prime Minister David Cameron
... has stated that he is certainly a big Thatcher fan, but I don't know whether that makes me a Thatcherite, which means he's not. Since he is not deeply ideological he lacks core principles and is easily led. He has been described as certainly not a Pitt, Elder or Younger, but he does wear a nice suit so maybe he's Beau Brummel ...
, Blair was contacted by "a key individual close to Qadaffy" during the 2011 military campaign to end the dictator's regime.

Upon receiving the information, Blair phoned the prime minister's residence, Number 10 Downing Street, on his behalf. In his call to Downing Street, Blair purportedly said that Qadaffy wanted "a deal with the British."
