The Killing$ of Tony Blair

The introduction from Saurav Dutt's review of George Galloway's new film The Killing$ of Tony Blair

"You will laugh, you will cry tears of incendiary rage and you will marvel at the depths the human soul can reach in its quest for infamy and treasure in George Galloway's spectacular new film.

"Galloway has always been a master of the spoken word and a prodigious writer, he now extends his talent to the art of documentary film making and in The Killing$ of Tony Blair Galloway and his talented team have crafted a searing portrait of Blair that will move you to tears and just might make your stomach churn in disgust at the former PM of Britain who callously led the country to war, obliterating Iraq and Afghanistan in the process, stabbing most of his Labour compatriots in the back and walking away from the ashes with riches the devil himself would envy. And what is worse the whole blood-soaked enterprise seems to have troubled him as much as losing a round of golf."

Yes, MERC, I did a quick check online and could not find it being advertised at any Australian cinema. Meanwhile the increasingly irrelevant MSM gave it fairly bad reviews. The Observer (Sunday Guardian) called it a "sanctimonious documentary" and gave it 2 stars, whereas the audience score at Rotten Tomatoes gave it 88%. How out of touch is the MSM becoming?

Hi MERC, I tried to buy on Amazon.co.uk but it only seems to accept UK credit cards for this item - incidentally I buy regularly on Amazon.co.uk and my Australian credit card normally works. It does not seem to be available on the US website Amazon.com or on Amazon.com.au.
