The Trial of Tony Blair

The Trial of Tony Blair is a satirical drama recounting hypothetical war crimes proceedings brought against former British Prime Minister Tony Blair by an international tribunal, following his departure fromDowning Street. Directed by Simon Cellan Jones, it was first aired on More4 onJanuary 2007 and repeated onMarch 2007 and during Blairs last week as Prime Minister onJune 2007.

A short time before the 2010 general election, Tony Blair goes on British television and gives a political broadcast, in which he announces his resignation from his position as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.The Labour Party, of which Blair is leader, is trailing David Camerons Conservative Party in the polls. However, within hours of Blairs departure, the polling trends dramatically reverse with respondents overwhelmingly supporting Labours new leader, Gordon Brown. Fearing that his legacy is under severe threat, Blair attempts to sabotage Labours election campaign, leaking an inflammatory email sent from Brown to Blair wherein the former admits that tax hikes are inevitable. Blairs plan works, in that Labour wins the election with a majority of just two Members of Parliament, smaller than Blairs majority and with Cameron in a much better position. ........
