It shouldn't be too hard for News Group to prove that NO ONE is interested in ANYTHING she has to say. Why would they hack her phone?

Undoubtedly a very smart cookie, but born, I think, with a nettle under her skin! Appreciate that she was a founder member of Matrix Chambers, but unfortunately the thought 'Dominatrix' comes to mind!

Good post but do I have to think of her while I am in a compromising position? Yuck!

Blair is Middle East envoy

Cherie Blair is human rights lawyer

why are they not in Syria

if they get nowhere with negotiations they can always double as targets for the regime there

Clever, never thought of that. It would be nice to see them used as targets.

Not like the Blairs to jump on the bandwagon when there are freebies going around is it? Why are we not suprised.

No her ebay business of selling hubbies signature is not doing so well at the moment, actually she cannot give them away.

probably found another property for steven foster to get for her

she saw this as a way to get the money to pay for it without using her own

I find it extremely worrying that Mrs Bliar's phone could be hacked by the press. There was I thinking she and her husband were protected by Military and National defence, with close protection of their family and blanket security over communication? If it turns out she was hacked and her phone was not secure, then it is a damning indictment on the standards set by the security service of this country.

The Blairs are just not wealthy enough: They need more!

i have the upmost sympathy for mrs blair as not only has her free worldwide travelcard expired, she clearly has the traumatised look of someone whose phone has been hacked....into her face.
