Comments on Guy Fawkes' blog of parliamentary plots, rumours and conspiracy: More Marie Antoinette Behaviour From Cherie

Chris Bryant and James Purnell now claim that "they 'sincerely regret' any offence that had been caused by the sale of the document, which had been autographed by Cherie Blair" and go on to claim that the item did not sell anyway ... strange when others claim that it did indeed sell for £400.

By the way reports claim that Alistair Campbell also penned his autograph on the report.

mr grumpy - you are right. She said "Let them eat brioches!" As she lived in a palace with everything, she may not have been being sarcastic. She may genuinely have felt they were being too fussy wanting bread. Oh well, we'll never know and she acquitted herself well at the end.

The Purple Tory - not really. I just don't put in your hours where you are. I don't come on until the afternoon shift, and today have been glued to the computer with a fever. (I have the fever. The computer is fine.) I feel too awful to stand up even, which accounts for my irritating ubiquity today.

Just to be fair to Marie Antoinette,she had dignity, and at the end considerable courage, and never mentioned cakes.Our Dear leader's wife could learn from her.

5:25 PM Anonymous has an interesting point: the only person really entitled to sign a book is the author. And since Cherie Antoinnette isn't the author of the writing, perhaps she signed on her authority as the author of the events? Cryptocracy 4evR!!!

I see it as William Hague material myself. I don't think Dave's up to making a meal of this - partly because I doubt that he understands the issue - but Hague can do it.

Incredibly not a single Labour Councillor in South Shields, nor our MP David Miliband has responded to my requests for comments on this story, their lips are sealed (probably easier for them than it is for Ms Booth).
Although the story has risen in the rankings over the past two days, it really does need "Big Dave" and the team to make a big impact with it at PMQs - how much ammunition does ne need for heaven's sake?

anonymouse - Oops, sorry you're right; had a bit of a chuckle at that. Something Freudian going on actually 'cos two of my wife's sisters are married to two 'Murphy' brothers - lots of 'Murphy' nephews and nieces and grand nephews and nieces, Murphys on the brain in fact!!! - sounds pretty much the same though :-)) - Sorry Krishnan - you're a good man.

2006-05-23T20:44:00.000+01:00

Hearing Blair preach from Baghdad yesterday I had a sudden insight into how to read his mind. When he sounds glib it means he's self-deluded. When he sounds sincere it means he's lying through his teeth. Yesterday he sounded sincere. God help Iraq.

The Blair's weren't nearly so dispicable when they lived around the corner - it's a typical case of 'absolute power corrupts absolutely'. Surrounded by sycophants and snake-oil peddlars they are both as mad as hatters. Everyone knows this, but there's no 'orderly' mechanism to get rid of them.

Only the Bucharest gambit remains...

The extreme physical ugliness of Cherie Booth/Blair is wholly matched by the ugliness of her 'personality'.She is a vile bitch indeed!

It made Channel 4 news too. Good matter-of-fact report. Krishnan Guru-Murphy ended with: "A spokesman for the Labour Party said 'this was not a Labour Party event; we know nothing about it' " - Honest - and with just the hint of a 'pull the other one it's got bells on' smile playing about his lips.

Anonymous,I have emailed Blears asking for her views on this dispicable act. I expect her to be too afraid of Our Dear Leader's witless wife to reply with any honesty but it's worth a try.I would like to think she(Blears) is getting buried under piles of outraged letters and emails.

You're obviously not serious, but no matter how much we dislike the two you know who parents, I feel quite sorry for their children.

Well, apart from Euan. I see he's got a 50k scholarship from Yale. I didn't realise a 2:1 in ancient history was a passport to such riches.

Anon 5:58,

But it is a matter of "class".

Not the upper-lower-middle argy bargy Labour thrives on. Simply having the knowledge to behave in a manner suitable for the very public spouse of the Prime Minister regardless of what she may think in private.

An attribute often wrongly attributed to the upper classes in days gone by.
