What the fuck does the warmongering twerp know that could possibly help JP Morgan?..
Tony Blair has taken a part-time post with US investment bank JPMorgan.
Mr Blair, who stood down as UK prime minister in June last year, has been employed "in a senior advisory capacity", the bank said.
He said he looked forward to advising the bank on the "political and economic changes that globalisation brings".
It is not known how much JPMorgan will pay him, but some estimates say more than $1m (£500,000) a year. The bank said he had a "unique perspective".
It said Mr Blair would advise the firm's chief executive and senior management team, "drawing on his immense international experience to provide the firm with strategic advice and insight on global political issues and emerging trends".
His old contacts wont want to talk to him now he is an ex-PM. His only real friend in power is Bush, and he is about to leave office! Blair might have a grasp on the machinations of international politics, helped by his efforts to re-shape the world in his image when in Number 10, but beyond that he doesn't really have much clout.
Blair barely managed to grasp rudimentary economics, let alone understanding the complex workings of global financial instructions. All I can think is Morgan simply wants the prestige of an ex-PM. Blair could hardly join The Carlyle Group, having to sit alongside the bloke he ejected from office in 1997! No, JP Morgan is a much better fit. Perhaps they have extended Blair a credit line capable of supporting Cherie's spending habits?!
