Former Prime Minister Tony Blair is to donate the profits from his memoirs to a sports centre for injured soldiers.
A spokesman said Mr Blair would hand over the reported £4m advance payment plus all royalties to honour "their courage and sacrifice".
The Royal British Legion will receive the money after the book, A Journey, is published next month.
But Peter Brierley, whose son Lance Corporal Shaun Brierley was killed in Iraq, called the gift "blood money".
The money is believed to be the biggest single donation ever received by the Legion, and will go towards the £25m Battle Back Challenge Centre, due to open in summer 2012.
called the gift "blood money"
Who was it who said "I'll take the Devils money to do the lords work"?
I think it applies here.

He's donating about £5 million in total.
Fair play.

Its your fault that some poor lad gets his legs blow off, fuck the bastard.

Imperialist scum.
"The fact is that far more crime and child abuse has been committed by zealots in the name of God, Jesus and Mohammed than has ever been committed in the name of Satan. Many people don't like that statement but few can argue with it."

In a free society, some are guilty but ALL are responsible.

I agree with that, I was on the wrong side on a number of occasions in my time in the army.

Just that a soldier is someone prepared to kill to order.
I've got no problem with that. But they are much more than poor lads.

Well in all my years in the army I have never known any of my mates who would kill to order, and you say you have no problem with it. We did.
