The Mail must love this:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/a ... _a_source=
(it's worth it for the caption alone...."Cherie Blair....fails to assault him"

And the comments are coming thick and fast...but mostly thick

Another example of the tax payer paying for political correctness gone mad...

- Kj, Hampshire

PCism run amok again, I see.

- Dl, Florida, USA

PCism? Political correctnessism?

Child Protection in a Sport Unit?

What is that? never heard of it, how much does it cost us? Len Weekes, London, UK

^Typical Mail reader reactions to anything

It shows that no one is safe from the clutches of the Child Protection secret police.

- Mabon Dane, Haverhill, UK

[Killer Whale]

Accused of over-reaction, police sources pointed out that Mrs Blair and her fellow human rights lawyers have created the conditions in which this kind of pointless case thrives.

Human rights lawyers are responsible for the laws on common assault?

Is it any wonder that I despair of the Britain I used to know when I read something of this nature. Thank God we had the guts to leave 40 years ago!

- Ian, Peachland, Canada

What was the UK like in 1966?..we thank God you left aswell Ian..you pilchard...

[Esqui]

Hehe, pilchard

The what?

This makes sense actually, it looked like Cherie assaulted him, someone from the public complained, the police investigated, found nothing wrong and let her off. Nothing PC there.

Of course, you know the mail wanted her to get in trouble.....

In 66 we won the world cup, the beatles we're at there height and hell alot of drugs happened.

in 2006 we lost the world cup, macca's making crap albums and hell alot of drugs are happening.

At least some things never change.

Shakira porn movie!

Nah.

Who registers all these flaming domains anyway?



[edited to stop the littl'uns clicking on it -Chris]

[Esqui]

Let me guess...was there a whole list of 'Shakira' (i.e. some porn actress who looks nothing like her) doing different things?

[larrylargesse]

oh dear shes written a book..and mailers arent best pleased


Watch out, Gordon! Cherie signs £1m deal to write her warts-and-all autobiography

I won't buy it. Not interested in lining her pockets.

- Lee, Beverley, UK

This is obviously revenge towards Gordon Brown. Unnecessary, it's not as though she needs the money, but of course this book will sell - sour grapes, I'm afraid.

- Jan Moore, Woodford Green

I hope this book is a flop because nobody buys it. She is a nasty greedy woman who should hang her head in shame at what her husband's done to Britain.

- Pat Sweeney, Lanark

[Abernathy]

I won't buy it either, but not because I don't want to line Cherie's pockets (though I don't), but for the same reason I didn't buy Campbell's book - it'll be utter shite.

I'm waiting for Kate McCann's warts and all confessions.......

[Kate]

I love the way Mail readers are proudly announcing they won't be buying Cherie Booth's book, as if that's the ultimate act of rebellion.

The rest of us of course will be forced to buy it on pain of death.

[Bernadette]

The rest of us of course will be forced to buy it on pain of death.

By the Human Rights-pinko leftie-PC Brigade presumably?

[Paul]

I do so hope that Cherie takes a swipe at the Mail and Littlecock after all the sh1t they have lobbed at her.

I wonder if they will bid for the serialisation rights?

[Raskolnikov]

I think the DM are on thin ice here. I know there are members of this forum who know a lot about media law so they may wish to coment. My knowledge of defamation is a bit patchy these days.

However, it flies in the face of the mod. policy of not allowing defamatory comments. If she is found guilty then I would expect open season but this is just nasty.

btw I've been to one of the chain so maybe they'll arrest me too.

Although no charges have been brought which would usually curtail comment, some of the posts are out of order (much of the comments viz. Kate McCann are similarly so)

e.g.

This should not surprise anyone. Immigration fraud is a widespread business and generates millions of pounds for those involved. Normally it isn't reported outside of the local press. News services covering areas such as Southall are full of similar tales. The difference here is the connection to the Blairs, but that shouldn't surprise us. Tony Blair had no qualms accepting Lakshmi Mittal's millions, money won from modern-day slavery.
- Simon Holly, London UK

She will probably get Mrs Scrounger to plead it was her 'ewman rights.

- Peter, London

Not sure what Peter means here but it doesn't seem pleasant or rational.

If she even knows the witch of No.10, then she is guilty. No other proof is needed.
The whole Bliar dynasty has proved itself to be completely dishonest.

- Jim, London, England

Barking is in London?

There is one bright spot - the comment of Fred. Well done Fred!

believe it to be a little low to implicate Cherie Blair just because she was a guest at one time. To use such logic we would accuse Lady Thatcher as a result of her close friendship with Pinochet who is reported to have ordered the deaths of his political opponents!

- Fred Steele, Hinckley Leicestershire

But of course friend Albert wades in with this class defamation

More and more NuLab seem to attract crooks, liars and conmen - and that's the MPs, let alone their associates!

- Albert Hurwood, Corby, Northants, UK

No wonder we get depressed

The comments seem to've been rigorously cleaned up. I'd still say that Jan from Woodford Green is on thin ice, though.

The use of "I" leaves the other two remaining comments with a "fair comment" defence as opinion, whereas anyone using the word "obviously" is implying a truth, and could be called to justify it as a result.
