No kidding, the Prime Minister of Great Britain, the Empire and Colonies used to carry some degree of dignity. USED TO, that is, and maybe still had some, until The Blairs moved in and put CHINTZ on the MENU.
Cheshire Cats all handed in the notice the day Chavvy Cherie first Grinned at the cameras, and with good reason. The scally dame from Birkenhead has done more to turn the nations highest office into a shame than any prime minister's betrothed before her. Of course, the pair of them being silks, and madame now a recorder in the crown court, they have been teflon coated throughout, and have certainly tested it!! Wikipedia has a whole section dedicated to her Controversies.
However, this is not the place for that!!
This is the place to ask ourselves, WHAT HAVE THE BLAIRS DONE TO DRAG THE OFFICE OF PRIME MINISTER OF GREAT BRITAIN DOWN FROM THE LEVELS OF DIGNITY IT SHOULD STAND HIGH AT?
I really had to open it when I heard the latest - The Blairs are staying in Miami at Robin Gibb's residence, and have had to declare they are pying for it amidst raised eyebrows. Well, that's OK I guess, after all Robin Gibb supported them during the 2005 elections (BBC News report 28DEC2006). But let's take a look over just where they have been on tour, as whose guests, and how that compares to other figures from No.10.
No. 10...
And then, while we are at it, lets log gaffs and embarrassments that have occurred, and try and look back over what standards and protocol we might have expected.
