Blair is 'unfit and drinking'

Lifestyle guru Carole Caplin has spoken candidly about her friendship with Tony and Cherie Blair to an undercover newspaper reporter posing as a wealthy sheik looking to set up a business deal.

Ms Caplin told the "sheik": "We had dinner last Saturday and he's in dire straits – he has put on weight.

"He's not (fit). I can't believe the change in him since I've not been here. He's not fit in the right way.

"You know the job has taken its toll and as he says, you know, when you have somebody looking after him in the way that I did, you're monitored, you're exercised properly you know the massages are important."

She said that the prime minister was drinking more alcohol.


Seeing who is making the claims, I'm a bit sceptical... However, it would explain the inability to admit a mistake & the obsession with ID cards.

2. Blaire's son working for US Congressman.
Long ago, the offspring of vassal kings were often sent to the courts of the more powerful kings. It insured their loyalty and cooperation

Maybe the junta is restoring that little practice along with all the other fun from dark ages they are resurrecting.

12. Blair drinking
Wathcing him peck nervously at a pint whenever he goes and "meets real people" I think his version of heavy drinking would be two small sherries every night.

6. At last, I've found something in common with Tony.......
I drink more than is good for me, I'm unfit and am putting on weight...

Now, if only I was a obsessive, hypocritical, tunnel-visioned, smarmy, useless waste of space, perhaps I'd feel happier with his "leadership"...

:evilgrin:

7. Hmmm
Do you think this is his latest ploy to get people to identify with him?

Either that or it's the latest BMA campaign to get people to drink less!

:toast:

8. So the prime minister is coming to understand
The drugs war from the other side. Can you imagine him in 10 years,
smoking a spliff and chillin' in his garden, sayin' that he was wrong
to wage a criminalization policy in the war on drugs whilst he was PM.

Amazing blair, how life shows you her other facets. On the wheel of
karma, you get to know every aspect of the diamond mind.

I wonder how many bottles of wine at dinner is "too" much by caplain's
standard, or whether he's just downing a half bottle of whiskey every
evening.

10. Since you ask ....
"Can you imagine him in 10 years,
smoking a spliff and chillin' in his garden, sayin' that he was wrong
to wage a criminalization policy in the war on drugs whilst he was PM" ......

11. I agree
The Drugs Act 2005 (the one which outlaws a perfectly legal, regulate-able trade in magic mushrooms & makes 'em a Class A substance), proves your point.
