Why wait until he leaves office. Tony Blair doesn't have immunity from prosecution so he could be arrested now.
Remember to successfully perform a citizen's arrest you must KNOW that he has committed a crime. You do not have the power as a citizen to arrest someone on suspicion of commiting a crime like a police officer has.

He must be charged with conflict crimes, yet he wont be. Tony Blair become only informed a good number of lies and he went in believing in the U. S. and become deceived George Dabya Bush, so no Tony Blair should not be charged for conflict crimes.

No.
In the United Kingdom, a citizen's arrest is lawful only if:
1) It is not reasonably practicable for a constable to make the arrest instead.
2) The arrestor has reasonable grounds for believing that the arrest is necessary to prevent one of the following:
* The person causing physical injury to himself or others.
* The person suffering physical injury.
* The person causing loss of or damage to property.
* The person making off before a constable can assume responsibility for him.
Since you can't satisfy any of the conditions, best to leave Mr. Blair to the international courts.

You could try, but there are a lot of other crimes that he has committed against the people, so you will need to arrest him fro those as well

Why just arrest him?
Why doesn't everyone just get together and bum rush No10 Downing Street the day he leaves office?
I personally can't wait to wrap a Tyre Iron around his head, and trample on his Petunias
Hope this helps.

You'll have to get on a plane and follow him to America 'cos, that's where he's going after ruining Britain. He will be welcomed with open-arms there and will rake in millions on the Lecture circuit.

You'll have to get a warrant from the ICC, and even then you can only hold him for as long as it take the police to get there.

No, because this traitor will be living in the USA collecting payment for his betrayal of those he purported to represent.
