[...] There were a large number of other entries to the Guardian competition – rapidly dubbed the Blair Rich Project. Some responses set out to be witty. [...] Others merely took advantage of anonymity to be rude about our former prime minister." (tony_blair crowdsourcing accounting corporate guardian competition )
