    Is Cherrie Blair going to announce herself as "First M'Lady" ?

    Im hoping the feet on the ground tell it like it is mentality of the UK public will put a stop to this nonsense , I would rarther that the EU negotiated on our behalf than let Blair negotiate for the UK alone.

    Theres a fine line between pimp and allies and I wouldnt trust the US to know the difference
    I think the problem is Blair, rather than the US. He is weak and just does what he is told.
