Guest Shedfish Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 And what an addition the seven-bedroom country residence would make to the former Prime Minister's portfolio, which already boasts two Bristol flats, his residence in Durham and, most recently, the multi-million pound Connaught Square stronghold in Central London.With the prospect of popping up to Chequers no longer an option, the Blairs have been in search of a replacement rural retreat to get away from it all. http://www.findaproperty.com/displaystory....p;storyid=20914 nice work if you can get it. what with the rumours that they are already 'upside down' with their current 'portfolio' it makes one wonder where the money comes from... lordy lordy to their credit probably a better investment choice than somewhere in downtown Baghdad - i don't suppose it would be worth so much with a bunch of insurgents hiding in the shrubbery, and body parts on the gravel drive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SarahBell Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 I read they were looking to buy something near chequers worth zillions. Must have been in Saturdays guardian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timm Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 what with the rumours that they are already 'upside down' with their current 'portfolio' it makes one wonder where the money comes from... lordy lordy Winslow Hall? The irony is not lost on this horse. The Winslow Boy is a play based on the factual story of a boy expelled for stealing a postal order. To clear the boy's name was imperative for the family's honour; had they not done so, they would have been shunned by their peers and society.

Guest tbatst2000 Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Good socialists indeed - socialism always has seemed to me to be about the people at the top being even richer than the capitalists they claim to despise whilst pretending not to be in various devious ways. I suppose you should give the Blairs credit for not even bothering to pretend. B*st*rds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timil Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Bliar a socialist yer havin a Giraffe, I could never pay for my son to have the private education Bliar received, neither could about 97% of the population.

Ethel Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 (edited) Good socialists indeed - socialism always has seemed to me to be about the people at the top being even richer than the capitalists they claim to despise whilst pretending not to be in various devious ways. I suppose you should give the Blairs credit for not even bothering to pretend. B*st*rds. Agree 100%. Socialism is about telling everyone else what they should or shouldn't be doing, whilst ignoring the advice oneself. Socialism fosters greed, laziness, and over-regulation. Socialist leaders think we can't be trusted to organise our lives and our finances ourselves, and they have no faith in us to look after the poor and helpless without being compelled to do so through fiscal policy. And why is this? Because they judge us all by their own gutter-low moral and ethical standards. Two words: John Prescott.

bobthe~ Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 (edited) Agree 100%. Socialist leaders think we can't be trusted to organise our lives and our finances ourselves, Hi Ethel. I hear you, and in many regards this is true (over-legislating and the HSE are but 2 examples), but I would point out that a bit more Nannying from the state might have prevented this HP bubble. Unfortunately in this regard, they dropped the ball and followed the Tories into de-regulation Hell. Of course if you could point to anything in the housing market that points to them organising our financing for us, I am happy to stand corrected. Edited because "mught" isn't a word. Unless it is. But it's not the right one anyway Edited October 10, 2007 by bobthe~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's not the right one anyway You are right, but I wasn't specifically talking about this government, rather socialist governments generally. It has to be said that many of Nu-Labour's policies are distinctly un-socialist. This became apparent the moment they got into office and promptly scrapped university grants.

I am sure there are much better quotes from others than that, but am glad you liked it. I prefer "100% correct. Guaranteed" myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

godless Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Don't you think we live in communist system? The big objective is to destroy capitalism by letting it gorge on itself without naturally correcting. Control, control, control, but not in your hands, thats communism. Labour (Fabian Society) deliberately f*cked up like they always have, google search for general fabius and the fabian strategy and you'll see whats really going on and why civilian sacrifice is good. We just need to work out why we are being sacrificed and whether its working. Don't forget Hitler, Mussolini, Mao, Stalin and any true dictator in modern history were socialists left or right makes little difference. Don't also confuse who were just puppets and stooges, particularly S America and Mideast. Freedom isn't free, we fight for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny, never realised he was registered blind. Blunkett could give him lessons in picking better looking women ! Back on the subject I've always thought he was a classic socialist - out for himslef while pretending to be whiter than white. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

me me me Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 (edited) Its been bothering me for ages and I have posted on this before; why would the Ex PM and his biatch zoltan wench own so much property if it was about to implode? Are they scapegoats, sacrificial lambs, mortar virgins whose aim is to confuse and reassure? Or Could they, in your wildest dream owe so much becasue they aren't hypocrites!! O They are sheep?
