In his memoirs, A (wasted) Journey, The consummate liar say's he warned Diana that he believed "Dodi Fayed was a problem" when she visited Chequers in July, 1997. The visit in question, at which Diana and Prince William ate lunch with the Blairs, took place on July 6.
Blair wrote: "I...felt...that Dodi Fayed was a problem...If you ask me, well, spit it out, what was wrong, I couldn't frankly say, but I felt uneasy and I knew some of her close friends - people who really loved her - felt the same way."
He went on: "She didn't like it and I could feel the wilful side of bridling. However, she didn't refuse to talk about it, so we did, and also what she might do. Although the conversation had been uncomfortable at points, by the end it was warm and friendly."
So, got that... Blair warned her off, if you choose to believe that, on July 6.
Unfortunately for the Bliar, Diana did not meet Al Fayed until she holidayed in St Tropez as a guest of his father, Mohammed Al Fayed, from 11 to 20 July, 1997.
The man is a pathological liar, but its ok..... he believes he's right.

Blair was at least honest in his tribute to Diana. It was spontaneous and heartfelt. Whatever political mileage he made from her after her death I'm not interested in.

You have to post this message on 2 boards? Not in my opinion Gabriel The humbug, trembling lip and seizing upon the moment to grab some headlines for himslef was absolutely horrible and made many people shudder in disgust. Many people recognised Diana as an irresponsible, spoiled brat who misused her postion, but of course many more thought her a saint. A simple dignified statement from the First Office of State would have sufficed, but Blair p;ayed it for all he could get out of it When politicians speak in Public they are NEVER spontaneous. Balir worked out this speech with Alistair Campbell before he made it - that is documenrf |

Perhaps Blair has decided his best bet is to adopt a low profile for the near future. I wonder whether he expected the book to be greeted with cheers, flowers and literary awards.

A bit late on this one, but if you see Bliars book in the library.....discretely move it to the Fiction or Crime section.

Has Blair been any worse than Major or Thatcher or Callaghan or Heath, the Bloody Sunday butcher? Certainly more effectual than Major but that's not Major's fault; Thatcher was an impossible act to follow and he was essentially too much of a nice bloke. Worse than Thatcher? What could be? She aimed to drag her country kicking and screaming into the 19th century, tried to drag the more developed nations of Europe down to her level while selling out as another Puerto Rico US colony not even worth the recognition of a State in a way to make Vidjun Quisling ashamed, and even then did not realise how she was being taken for a ride by East End barrow-boy gangsters laughing at her pious dreams of entrepreneurial investment they were making into lucrative realities of asset-stripping and shifting the loot overseas - I was working for offshore finance involved in just that who? me? attitude to the law at the time.
Britain always suffered from winning the Second World War so it thought it could just prolong the 1930s for ever. Harold Wilson though he could kick it into line with a Europe looking forward instead of backward, but he and Tony Benn could not realise that there never was any great Marxist class war - the unions and workers were every bit as venal, xenophobic, beloved of their own ignorance and petty powers as their bosses.
As everybody knows, in 1945, Britain won the War and Germany and Japan began to win the peace. Thatcher was no De Gaulle or Adenauer, though she is the closest Britain has ever had to a Gaullist.
