ARTICLE SUMMARY

Cherie: We had terrible financial worries in No.10

CHERIE Blair today spoke of the stress of having "a mortgage the size of Mount Snowdon” as she lifted the lid on 10 years in Downing Street.

JUST HAD ANOTHER THOUGHT ON THE SUBJECT

20.05.08, 11:05pm

No taxpayers money will be available for the security on their latest pile nor any payments for the bills for the heating and general up- keep on any of the others, they PAY, nothing at all to do with us.
Going to cost a few bob to keep the places cleaned , Mrs B will have to put her pinny on and get cracking,after her recent expose' will anyone want to work for her?

What is more worrying is that Tony Blair is giving Gordon Brown advice,the country is in an awful state now and we thought it could not get any worse,now that awful Balir has come back to finish the job of running our once proud country into the ground.
Why don't they both go away and count their money ,stop printing that dreadful woman's utterings its publicity for that book, she must be laughing all the way to the bank

THANKS TO THE SUNDAY EXPRESS.

11.05.08, 6:01pm

Thanks to the Sunday Express.

I was feeling really down in the dumps today and this story has made me laugh so much that I feel much better now.

Does Cherie Blair really think we are so thick that we would believe anything she says, never mind being stupid enough to waste our money on her new book.

Altogether now, everybody say Ah! What a terrible shame, never mind, now go away and leave us in peace.

SELF INFLICTED "LUV"

11.05.08, 1:06pm

I find the Blairs a dispicable pair of greedy champagne socialists, especially Cherie. I would go as far as saying she is on the same level as Imelda Marcos, the steel butterfly of the Philippines, that womans greed knew no bounderies, one of the symbols of her extravagance was a collection of shoes that exceeded 1,200 pairs, while the rest of the population wore flip flops.
Her husband embezzled billions of dollars to pay for their extravagant lifestyle.

So as for the size of her mortgage, she didn't cut her cloth accordingly did she. Maybe she was hoping for "Freebies" from the treasury, mmm!

It is the taxpayer that has the terrible financial worries since you pair moved into No.10!
As far as I can see you have both done extremely well off the backs of the proletariat Misses Blair, both in and out of office.

TERRIBLE FINANCIAL WORRIES!!!!

11.05.08, 9:54am

No Matter how terrible the financial worries of this evil pair were, they are minimal compared to that of the British soldiers wounded in the wars brought about by Blairs lies; or the tens of thousands of Iraqi families that have lost their bread winners for the same reason.
I wonder if this dispicable pair would consider donating some of their new illgotten gains to these unfortunates.

£3.6 MILLION MORTGAGE!!!

11.05.08, 9:32am

"She added they had “a mortgage the size of Mount Snowdon” on their £3.6 million house in central London’s exclusive Connaught Square."

Nobody had forced her to have a mortgage of £3.6 million, on which she or husband could not meet a mortgage or found it scary?

I wonder which bank or financial instituion would have financed them so much money on the basis of their known income!!!

Bliars could have lived in Bristol in the two flats they had bought at a hugh discount and still have enough money left to pay for their luxury holidays!

Or may gone and lived in one of the palaces of Saddam Hussain which would have been much cheaper and luxurious!!!

GORDON IS TONY IN DISGUISE!

11.05.08, 8:57am

“I know that Tony thinks Gordon could win the election and I know that he has spoken to Gordon about how he could do that.Tony has given Gordon advice. He and Gordon talk to each other even now.”

So it is now quite clear that GoDrown is a puppet of Tony and is Tony himself in disguise!

Anyone now voting for the NuLabour means that they approve of what Bliar has done for this country and the world and should be ashamed of themselves.

The whole lot in the present House of Conmen should now go considering that almost everone of them is there only to line their pockets and do not give a damn about the public outrage!!

Weren't they the ones who approved (may be blackmailed via dodgy dossiers) invasion of Iraq and supported Bliar in his misadventure, resulting in murders of thousands of innocent British soldiers and the Iraqi civilians!!!

Not forgetting the number of stealth taxes we are burdened with, inlcuding the illegal Talivans used to catch the motorists to generate revenue.

BLAIR

11.05.08, 8:16am

I thought that we would have had enough of this family known for their greed. surely she doesnt think that she will get sympathy. why have they taken out all these high mortgages - because they have robbed the english public for years by their greed - they should hve enough to pay opff all their mprtgages by now. I wish they would just disappear - there is no way I will buy her book or any other book by any politician

OF HER OWN MAKING

11.05.08, 8:08am

Who does the woman think she is? With her gaffs and misjudgements how can anyone allow her to sit in judgement on others.
She milked her husbands job for everything she could for this "grand lady syndrome" will it bring happiness, the nouveaux rich often learn there is a price, the hard way.

MERCENARY, GRASPING, GREEDY, FOOLISH, WRETCH!

11.05.08, 1:41am

Her wealth has rotted her capacity to think clearly, her mind given over to its own futile thinking, she has lived her life on this earth in luxury and self-indulgence. This woman's abundance and presumed self-sufficiency has become her deficiency. What comes out of her mouth is motivated by the desires of her heart and those desires expose her bitterness and envy, selfish ambition, earthly concerns and desires, unspiritual thoughts and ideas which have clearly brought nothing but disorder to every aspect of her life. Where is her mercy and genuine love for her husband and consideration for others? Little wonder with this kind of wife at his side Tony Blair would make so many disastrous decisions which have wrecked havoc upon the population. One would think that as an intelligent person she would have enough "nouse" to manage her finances in such a way she would live within her means. Why would anyone seek her advices when she is so confused that her actions show that she is prepared to sacrifice integrity to increase her wealth? Despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary she has not discovered that money does not bring happiness. Her love of money will only end in destruction and it would serve her better to realise that one day her riches will be gone for they are worthless in eternity.

SHE MAY HAVE A POINT ON THE FINANCES

The last time Tony got a rise was when Carole Caplin was massaging him.

POOR TONY AND WICKED WITCH

10.05.08, 9:40pm

Amazing what a 'human rights act' and a few wars can do for finances, and WE are still paying on both fronts with no benefit. Why don't this pathetic pair go and crawl under a stone somewhere and cry to each other and give us a break from their bleating. What ordinary voter gives a hoot about these pair, they have no idea how the average person lives and works to keep them in houses and expenses. Perhaps Foster can do the conveyancing on their latest purchase and cut a deal for them.
