Blair: the sex scenes

Yam Yam

Too much information!

Pass the sickbag ...

Pass the sick bag please!

I want to vomit.

The question is will as many copies of Blair's 'A (The) Journey' be pulped as Alan Partridge's 'Bouncing Back'.

James

That has put me right off buying the book.

denis cooper

Why should anyone be interested in whatever self-serving drivel may be penned by this incorrigible liar and hypocrite? Scum.

Splurrrg

With every ounce of common sense pumping away in my turgid hand I tenderly poised the mouse over the "post a comment"

- should I ejaculate now and would the Coffeehouse editors swoon after reading my unexpurgated thoughts?

Yet I hit the button and a glorious riot of plenitude filled me with sticky melancholy.

alexsandr

Spose someone had to scan it for the dirty bits. bit like a 13 yr old school boy really.

Tarka the Rotter

'The Journey to the Depths and Beyond' is not the sort of book I want to read, and in any case Mills and Boon do it better. The image of TB on top of the insatiable pillar box is now burned into my brain and I don't like it. Wonder if Alistair Campbell gave him a hand (obviously Peter Mandelson did from time to time)

ENOUGH! ENOUGH?

There's enough there to reduce the nation's obesity problem in one afternoon....

You know that thing where someone is reading a book or a newspaper and keeps reading out bits that they think will entertain or amuse you, and it really is as irritating as can be?

That is what is happening on this blog today. FFS give over.

Nurse! Nurse!
The Mind Bleach NOW!

Of the topics on the top page, 5 are devoted to Tony Blair. What is the matter with you people? Why are the media so out of touch with the rest of the country? No-one else gives a toss about Tony Blair.

Verity

Omigod! I'm only on my first cup of tea, for pity's sake! Please!

Some of the very funny remarks above did quell the nausea, though.

But ewwwwwwwwwwww!

Frank Sutton

He's been taking creative writing lessons from Cherie! Anyone remember the breathless, blushing, girlish 'True Romance' prose of her memoirs?

Tankus

gag ....

I cant tell if this is satire or the real thing ......

Fex Urbis

Tony, Cherie, sex.......... nasty

Liz Brown

Excuse me whilst I throw up - having glimpsed at the various snippets so thoughtfully provided by Coffee House, I feel distinctly unwell

Greenslime

I can only keep my head out of the big white telephone for a few seconds - I have made a note to myself not to be eating peanuts when reading anything about the journey whilst on my computer as pebble dash is so 80's!

Occasional Ostrich

OK, I know we're only being treated to selected extracts so far, but the sum total of what I've read, both in these pages and elsewhere, merely confirms my view that when he left office Bliar hadn't yet achieved the minimum standards necessary to do the job.

Maggie

I hope the Literary Review hasn't closed the shortlist for this year's Bad Sex Award.

Sam Davidson

@Rhoda

Couldn't agree more old chap. Also, I'm going to Spain with your son tomorrow.

Obnoxio The Clown

If something is so sick and depraved that *I* won't touch it with a bargepole, you know you've gone too far.

You've gone too far.

startledcod

Is this the kind of book "you would wish your wife or servants to read"?

I think not.

Hugh Janus

After reading that, I have to ask - is there a free course of trauma counselling with the book??

"The image of TB on top of the insatiable pillar box...." I am fighting the urge to vomit.

Verity

Frank Sutton - You mean someone read Cherie's memoirs? Are you sure?

HarrisonBanks

Excuse me while I go and poke out my mind's eye.

Woody

Oh pleasssssssssssssssse

It's cheaper to go and buy a 'Mills and Boon'.

ed hall

I'd be afraid as well if Cherie (even Mark 1994) was under the sheets beside me.

Paul Hawkins

I did not realise Mills and Boon were his publishers......

Noa

Why all this publicity for 'Blare, the Garbage Years"?

Is the Speccie on commission?

London Calling

The Journey of Tony Mills & Cherie Boon in West Enders…followed by the The Liar, the Witch and the Broom cupboard…you got to laugh…seriously ;)

Richard of York

Can we have a review of Vauge's conquests, at public expense, with his 25 year old driver while on the election trail or was it paid for from election donations?
Still the media prefer the histrionics of a story 10 years old and already much published by the Westminster hacks over the years.
Perhaps Fraser is working on it or maybe still miffed at being rebuffed who knows?

TomTom

Will there be a full print version of "The Blair Spectator" ? It seems to be dominant on the online version. Perhaps too many spent their youth in adulation of Blair and like Beatlemania cannot shake the habit !

Occasional Ostrich

@Frank Sutton

Are you sure this isn't the bit that Cherie herself wrote?

joe

Blair on Brown (this is true): Our minds moved fast and at that point in sync. When others were present, we felt the pace and power diminish, until, a bit like lovers desperate to get to love-making but disturbed by old friends dropping round, we would try to bustle them out, steering them doorwards with a hearty slap on the back

Verity

Richard of York - Fraser's still hard at work researching Neathergate. Given the length of the investigation, it's going to be one helluva piece when he puts it up!

michael

If you were the only girl in the world....run!

Chris

Sorry, Dorky, who is this 'Vauge' person? Or are you just being an illiterate tawt again?

David Ossitt

What’s the betting that Waterstones has copies of this book reduced to 50p by Christmas?

“I was an animal following my instinct”

What kind of fool would try explain the details and the circumstances of a matrimonial shag that occurred over sixteen years ago.

12 may 1994, the same day as John Smith died

Verityred

Little Dickie Dork's lame attempts to change the subject crash again. How he loves this site.

yank

Blair might have wished to be taken seriously in his follow-on life, but these book passages have negated any possibility of that. He'll be a specimen now... a well spoken specimen to be sure... but ultimately just an object... a thing... just another bit of pop culture. Sorry, Tone.

He'll make a buck, of course, and these passages will help that making. Pop culture does have its market.

Richard of York

Verityred go see the latest blog at last the speccie has been forced into the real world thanks to the powers of peer pressure from yours truely (blush)

Bows and exits stage left....bye

I love a joke and am usually too quick to mock and see the funny side of things. But I am too disgusted with Blair to even smirk at his fumblings. How on earth can the Prime Minister of a country hand over the reins to somebody whom he despises and thinks ill of? Shows how he holds the citizens in scorn and has no love of country. Just like the changing of the guard at the Kremlin.

Frank Sutton

Frank Sutton - You mean someone read Cherie's memoirs? Are you sure?

It was serialised on Radio 4. I heard some if it with incredulous disgust.
Maybe Cherie did write some of Tone's Tome

Tarka the Mills and Boon Rotter

'...I had known Margaret Beckett since I joined the Labour Party, but that evening, just before I gave the order to nuke Baghdad, I saw her in a different light. Her Equine beauty shone like a beacon, her withers quivered with passion as she devoured my every word... I realised then that she carried a torch for me, and at that realisation my animal instincts surged forward and...'

Marcher Baron

I have to thank you sincerely for publishing those extracts - if ever I had felt tempted to waste my time on reading TB's trash, you have banished the desire for ever!

Snowman

(borrowed from SF): as if there wasn’t enough vomit in the world.

Tarka the Mills and Boon Rotter

...though I've always considered myself a straight kinda guy, that night I saw Peter Mandelson in a different light, and my animal passions were...

yank

"...that night I saw Gordon in a different light, those puffy Scots cheeks pulsating for great levels of immigration and fresh Labor voters. I knew then that he had to be mine... and the world's. Afterward, I looked at the empty whiskey bottle and knew it was time to check into rehab."

JohnAnt

"I needed that love Cherie gave me, selfishly."
Dear old Tone, ambiguous to the incorrigible end.
Did no one proofread the thing?

Paddy

Trickie Dickie:

Same old labour. Trying to smear to take the heat off Brown.

Thought you would have learnt your lesson by now.

Five more years of the coalition.

Plenty of time to make sure labour never have a sniff of power again.

bob jangle

No need to wonder what gap in her life Cheri is trying to fill with her maniac shopping.Loverboy clued us in clearly here.

And how did the peoples princess Blair end up with the wicked witch scouser Cherie?

Christ Tony can devour me anyday. He's so -ooo sexy!!!
