The query "Tony Linton Blair arrest date toilet" (noting that Tony Blair's full name is Anthony Charles Lynton Blair, so "Linton" appears to be a slight misspelling or variation of "Lynton") refers to a long-circulating online rumor or hoax.
This claim alleges that Tony Blair was arrested or fined (often cited as £500 or £50) in 1983 (or sometimes the early 1970s) at Bow Street Magistrates Court under the name "Charles Lynton" (or variations like "Charles Linton") for "cottaging" — a British slang term for soliciting sex in a public toilet (importuning or gross indecency).
This story has spread widely on social media (Facebook, X/Twitter, Reddit, etc.), often in anti-Blair or conspiracy-oriented posts, sometimes linking it to sex offender lists or other smears.
However, this is not true and has been repeatedly debunked as disinformation or a hoax:
There is no credible evidence from court records, official documents, reputable news sources, or Blair's biographies to support it.
Freedom of Information requests to the UK government (e.g., Ministry of Justice, Prime Minister's Office) about "Charles Lynton's" or Tony Blair's criminal record have returned no such information — they hold nothing matching this.
Fact-checks and discussions (including on platforms like X) label it as baseless rumor originating in the 1990s or earlier, with no verifiable source.
Official records show Blair has no criminal convictions of this nature (or any relevant ones); his public life and legal scrutiny (e.g., Iraq Inquiry, Cash-for-Honours) never uncovered anything like this.
Real events involving Blair and "arrest" are unrelated, such as:
A 2010 citizen's arrest attempt over the Iraq War (not actual police arrest).
Calls/petitions for war crimes indictment (symbolic, never led to arrest).
No legitimate "arrest date" exists for any toilet-related incident. This appears to be persistent internet misinformation. If you're referring to something else (e.g., a specific news story, meme, or different context), feel free to provide more details!
Amen.
