Description: A bookstore employee apologises to a shopper for not stocking books by those responsible for the horrific deaths of defenceless little children'. The shopper asks 'Who does sell Tony Blair's book then'. Context - The employee assumes the woman wants the book written by Macsyna King and published by Ian Wishart about the deaths of her twin babies, Chris and Cru. Some bookstores have refused to stock the book on the grounds that Macsyna King might profit from sales. The person responsible has yet to be brought to justice. The cartoon makes a comparison with former British PM Tony Blair who agreed to send troops to Iraq to support the US effort, thereby being held responsible for the deaths of children in an ethically dubious war.
