cherie blair and her book...is there no escape..

[DeeRiguer]

serialised in the times, quoted on the news, columnist inches filled with it and argghhh just managed to hit the off button before she reads it out on R4

she must have right good publicist and imo a real brass neck...

I am in the boat with Piffle, 100x and FM, vile is an awful word to use about her, not particularly sisterly.

I think she just doesn't have the inbuilt radar that tells you what the "right thing to do" is, and has therefore managed to make some spectacularly wrong decisions.

I think flawed, rather than vile is a better description, 100 is right

Tony Blair a British ICON?

Cherie Blair a historical figure?

Such a great business woman she couldn't even by two flats herself in Bristol??

Funny how alot of these thinks when ask by other people were in invation of her private life, but when she wants to make a buck its all open to public eyes.

Buy, not by, that should be.

Oh and what is this sisterly virtue you speak of? Is there some law I have missed that we women must all support all other women no matter what, simply because they are women? Are we equally obliged to denigrate all men simply because they are men? I don't get the sisterhood thing at all. Judge people for who they are not what they are.

Well, yes. In your opinion. You are welcome to it.

But with the traffic that MN sees on a daily basis though from the media who as far as I can see use it as a lazy vox pops when they can;t be arsed to leave the office (or bed perhaps) I'd hate for it to be thought of as s consensus on MN that CB is reviled. She isn't.

According to Janice Turner her advance was only £1.5m; the advance for his memoirs was £4.6m - hope to god he doesn't go into 3x the personal detail as well, bleagh.

Message withdrawn

It is only on MN that I have heard her not reviled I think.

BTW, I did not say I reviled her. I said I felt there were many laudable things about her but I still loathe her. I am now awaiting the police to come and arrest me for contravening the Sisterhood Act of 2003.

No DG, we shouldn't just blindly support women just because they are a member of the same sex. It just seems to me that women can be the most judgmental about other women.

She will be a historical figure as wife of the PM.

erm well yes TB is a British icon Bridie - if you disagree with that I have no idea what your context of the word is...but anyway, I was actually referring to her father Tony Booth - maybe a bit before your time perhaps...

and as wife of PM CB is indeed a historical figure. As were all the other wifes of PMs.

As for your last comment, you will read the gossip in teh news, but not the real version of events ion the book..hmm..interesting..

Right DG, i hereby arrest you for contravening the Sisterhood Act 2003 .

Punishment: Forced to listen to Cherie Blair reading the autobiography over and over and over and over again......

I personally dont find Cherie Blair vile, rather more cringe making. I just don't get her. Here is supposedly an educated, high achieving (career wise) mother of four children, who basically acts like a complete greed fuelled airhead - seemingly without any forethought, who takes vehement umbridge against anyone who she feels has crossed her. Silly and pathetic little anecdotes about Princess Anne not warming to her being representative of this - well Princess Anne clearly is a woman of good judgement who probably saw the little social climber for what she was... "damn prols"...
Think someone like Jordan conducts herself in a far more honest and intelligent way ... no lets not get started on that one....

Christ, one person dissagrees with you and says they like CB and all hell breaks loose!

I don't like her cos of any feminist leanings. I neither like or dislike her - I don't know her.

I think she is an interesting character that has a genuine reason for write her memoirs - that's all I'm saying. Stop getting your knockers in all of a twist.

Yesm she is a bit cringeworthy - or has been. But I dont; envy her position. I bet they are well glad to beout of it. Who the fuck would want to be a politician these days except twats?

We get what we deserve I suppose

Hang on, you just claimed that Tony Blair was an 'icon'. Now you're saying only twats want to become politicians.

I certainly agree we get what we deserve.

Couldn';t fooled me MMM. That's a pretty ballistic post.

But yes, CB is a "complete greed fuelled airhead - seemingly without any forethought, who takes vehement umbridge against anyone who she feels has crossed her." and Jorden isn't.

Yes, I like your style

I don't think twats and icons are mutually exclusive Bridie.

I am a twat sometimes. So is Cod! And she's an idon!

dg AND you know you will be held without charge for 42 days? whilst they investigate your crimes!

i dont get this thing on sisterhood here, woman can be right twats too
its case by case, what you do and say not a bunch of chromowhatsits, shurley?

its like saying vote for hillary she's female good god there are acres of twats both male and female cant we be more discerning..

Jordan is honest about who she is...CB isn't...and yes we all have flaws but when we open our hearts to the public you will have some rooting for you, some detesting you and some rather bored by it all frankly...you only have to read these threads to see life imitate art!

DR, read again - this is NOT about sisterhood.

I think Jorden is a twat. Every word that comes out of her mouth proves it to me. Bad sister. There you go.

No Hilary really is a twat - her husband is a cunt though. Just a little bit worse.

Hey, I'm not bothered about being arrested and held without charge. That nice Ms Booth will get me off.

Oh Monkeytrousers - calm, calm, calm...deep breaths - with language like that I'd have thought Jordan right up your um .... er ... street

I am perfectly calm

I like swearing!
