UK: CHANNEL 4

Tony Blair’s autobiography is turning up in some unexpected sections of bookshops. Channel 4 News speaks to one political blogger who thinks the plot might just increase sales.

Tony Blair’s book should be sitting alongside the memoirs of other political big hitters: Barack Obama, Margaret Thatcher and Bill Clinton but, in some cases, it is also sharing a shelf with Agatha Christie and Ruth Rendell.

A new Facebook group called “Put one of Tony Blair’s books in the crime section of your bookshop” has appeared on the internet and there are photos on Twitter beside the tweet: “Brighten up your day by moving at least one of Tony Blair’s books to the crime section in your local bookshop”.

The memoir is also popping up in other unexpected areas. Channel 4 News has found a photo of it in the Tragic Life Stories section of one well known chain. It is smuggled in with titles including No Safe Place and Vanished.
