The other day I thought I'd look over at George Monbiot's Arrest Blair website to see how much is in the pot. I discovered that it is not there anymore. So I emailed the man himself and this is what he said (or what his PA said he said)...
Dear Anthony,
Many
thanks for your email. The Arrest Blair/ Justice for War Crimes site
was closed on Jan 31 2019. After an announcement requesting nominations
for beneficiaries of the remaining funds, they were divided between two
charities whose remit is to help the refugees who are fleeing the
consequences of the Iraq war. The closure notices are below.
We
will be closing the Arrest Blair site on 31 January 2019. We welcome
your nominations for organisations to receive the remaining funds (a
total of £10,599.89 which may be shared between successful nominees).
As set out in the terms on the home page, after five years have elapsed since the last attempt
to arrest Tony Blair (which took place on 17th January 2014), the
remainder of the fund will be donated to one or more organisations
campaigning for international justice.
Please send nominations via our Contact Us page
Operation ‘Arrest Blair’ is now ended.
The funds remaining in the account were divided equally between two charities: Refugee Info Bus and WatchTheMed Alarm Phones.
With very best wishes to you and yours in these unsettling times,
Fi
