SHE’S A LADY?

Ok, so who all agrees that Cherie Blair, the wicked witch of the West, should be elevated to the House of Lords?




A political row is brewing over a controversial move to give Cherie Blair a peerage – making her the first Prime Minister’s spouse to be elevated to the Lords since Clementine Churchill. Allies of Mrs Blair say she is entitled to the honour on the basis of her decade in No10, her record as a leading lawyer and her charity work. However, the idea, which is being actively discussed in senior Labour circles, is likely to run into criticism from those who may question whether she deserves the same recognition as Lady Churchill.


I must say that I think she deserves no such honour. It is because of Cherie Blair and her ilk that our country is in such peril and to reward her by placing her in the Lords would be as lunatic an idea as rewarding Micheal Martin – that most disgraced of Speakers – by putting him in the Lords. Oh…hang on a second….
