‘In respect to my new life, first of all, I have to say that reports of my wealth are greatly exaggerated. Just for the record, I read I’m supposed to be worth £100million – Cherie’s kind of asking where it is. I’m not worth that, half of that, a third of that, a quarter of that, a fifth of that ... I could go on.’
Wow... what a massive massive
Agreed.

Personally he could well be worth exactly £325,000 at the moment, and at any time in the current tax year.

Somebody should ask where the other £49,675,000 has been stashed to avoid IHT.

Not that wealth and lawful tax avoidance are bad things, it's the oily self-righteous hypocrisy that grates.

Jesus H.

Someone is doing a bit of toadying up. But for what reason? Cannot be the need to be seen with this odious person, what ever could the reason be?

I wonder if it's irony?

I get the distinct impression that you're happy if it's the right, annoyed if it's the left and positively fuming if it's T. Blair.


This makes me smile

Amazing!
The editors at GQ must have sat round the table and said "What are the most ironic awards that we could give this year?"
Poor Tony and Kim dont do irony.
Suppose it just goes to prove Tony has never had his finger on the pulse of public opinion whilst Kim is just dumb with a fat a*se.

What were the other Awards?

I assume Fred West won Parent of the Year, Ed Balls won Economist of the Year etc.

Yes, that'll explain how he never won a general election.

There's the old joke that you could put a monkey in a suit and red tie and he'd get voted in as an MP by the Labour die hards applied equally to the role of PM. Plus, when he was voted in, I doubt if many could possibly have fathomed the depths of his megalomaniacal ego.

One day, someone will assassinate this fker.

The only problem is it won't be a jihadist who does it. I'm quite sure they gain enough pleasure from watching him winding up every right thinking person in the west.
It will more likely be some right wing whack-a-doodle, which will then perversely probably lead to even more restraints on our freedoms.

Why can't he just take his ill-gotten gains, his salmon mouthed wife and his waste of DNA sons and fk off out if it.

But certainly, as someone said up there, never buy another copy of GQ.

"He received the honour for his “tireless charity work across the world”"

Just watched his acceptance speech with him banging on about Africa. Strange how he does not mention the major fk up he created in the middle east.

What fking planet do these idiots really live on? What next, a posthumous award for Hitler?

I think the feedback just about sums up what people think.

And that explains the re-election too does it?

Be careful, that bile actually looks like a job application.

As a single voter, all an individual really has the power to do is select a local candidate or party. That's how our brand of 'democracy' works, or not, depending on your POV.

I'm aware of how the election process works in this country (although I'll admit to being shocked at how many don't! ).

The point remains - T.Blair 'won' quite a few elections but is still accused of not having his 'finger on the pulse'.

On the contrary, he's still admired the world over (yes, I accept that chokes a few PHers), is quite well off and still has the ability to wind up the right-wing morons.

A fool?


Not quite.
