Bliar for hire...

Isn't it about time Blair paid for his own security? It's not as though he's short of a quid or two is it...

Re: Bliar for hire...
 

Is anyone that bothered about him to warrant security ?

Re: Bliar for hire...
 

All prime ministers whether former or current have security so there is nothing new there.

Re: Bliar for hire...
 

Must be more expensive to cover that ******* than others, Lets face it there will be far more after him than the others.

Re: Bliar for hire...
 

The arrangements as they stand, have operated on the assumption that the recipient doesn't extract the urine. Overseas trips here and there are fair enough, but Bliar seems to practically live aboard a Lear jet. His security must be costing more than every other living ex-Prime Minister combined.

but in his defense he has upset a lot of people ;)

Re: Bliar for hire...
 

One can only hope the security have a lapse and someone takes the smug git out.

He's the man Iraqi mothers tell their kids about to scare them into behaving.

"Be good or the Blair will get you!"

He's probably the only person in the world a whole bunch of people would want to personally nuke. If he were out in the middle of a nowhere in a desert that desert would swiftly become radioactive glass.

That would just be what whichever Vanguard class submarine is on patrol at the time would do.

Lapse. How about his security its just cut to the bone like everything else. Why should the man responsible for so much be immune. He can take his chances like everyone else and to quote that guy from rocky iv if he dies he dies

Re: Bliar for hire...
 

Blimey ,pleased I'm not an ex PM called Blair :)

Re: Bliar for hire...
 

Love to see this man taken out

Re: Bliar for hire...
 

I reckon the security is there to protect him from us more than anyone else. :D

Anyway, he is clearly entitled to have it provided at our expense but wouldn't it be a nice gesture if he decided he'd cover the cost himself, especially when he's doing business which directly or indirectly benefits Bliar Inc. He could even claim it against tax and save himself a few more quid...

What sort of rabid rantings would we be hearing from the loony left members of the CF cast if Thatcher had been doing likewise I wonder...

Re: Bliar for hire...
 

Probably pretty similar to the sort we're hearing from you on the right ;)

A quick Google came up with this. It's a bit out of date but back in 2002 the Telegraph was reporting that securuty for John Major was costing some £1.5million per year - or just under £29k per week.

Yes its a bit strange the Daily Telegraph's memory seems to conveniently forgotten that but what else can you expect from the Daily Mail's new rival.:)
