Shoes and eggs fly Tony Blair's way at book signing in Dublin:

"RussiaToday | September 04, 2010

Police scuffled with demonstrators in Ireland's capital, Dublin, as former British Prime Minister Tony Blair arrived at a bookstore to sign copies of his memoirs. A shoe, eggs and other projectiles were thrown toward Blair as he emerged from his car, but they did not hit him. At one point, a policeman and demonstrator crashed to the ground as officers struggled to control the protesters, who were demonstrating against Blair's actions in Iraq, Afghanistan and the Middle East. The protesters were heard chanting 'Tony Blair: war criminal' as his car arrived at Eason's book store. Blair was paid a 4 million pound (7 million US dollar) advance for his memoirs, entitled 'A Journey,' which mounts a strong defence of his policies during his decade as prime minister, including the 2003 invasion of Iraq.
