Blair may drop London book-signing

September 6, 2010 -- Former British prime minister Tony Blair says he may cancel a book-signing in London in light of the hostile reception he got in Ireland over the weekend. Demonstrators in Dublin were protesting against Blair's decision to join the Iraq invasion. Protesters pelted Blair with shoes, bottles and eggs when he showed up at a bookstore signing. Four men were arrested. Blair is promoting his newly released memoir, A Journey, which is Amazon's bestselling title in Britain. In the book, he describes the aftermath of the Iraq invasion in 2003 as a "nightmare." But he also says he is not sorry for his decision to enter the war, although he has wept for its victims. All proceeds from the book will be donated to a charity for wounded troops. Blair told Britain's ITV Daybreak program on Sunday the protesters were in the "minority" and added it was unfortunate they got all the attention. Blair said he's not sure he should go ahead with Wednesday's London appearance at Waterstone's in Piccadilly because of the unnecessary "hassle and cost" for police. "It is sad at the same time, frankly. If people want to have a book signed, people should protest but not try and physically prevent you doing it," he said. A Facebook group with more than 7,000 members has sprouted urging people to "subversively move Tony Blair's memoirs to the crime section in bookshops." Members have submitted shots of the book sitting on crime, fantasy and horror sections of stores.
