Hold on all. Only 25% of the donations received will be paid to the first citizen attempting arrest. What happens to the remaining 75%? I have no idea and this question is not addressed on the website. So I have asked Monbiot in an email to answer. I'll let you know the outcome when I receive a reply.
Meanwhile, the practical question I have is how can anyone conduct a citizens arrest? As a former Prime Minister - and un-arrested War Criminal - Bliar has bodyguards day and night. No one is going to be allowed to get close to him. And if that means physically stopping someone with force -- even excessive force -- that is what will happen.
In any event I'm happy to donate some money in principle once I know what Monbiot intends to do with the bulk of the money donated, and providing it is intended to slip into his back pocket.

The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
