My God! Too much information Cherie! We don't want to know all the gory details, thanks.

Margot, London, UK

Hi Cherie, Why not start a movement for the abolition of the perks of the Royalty. There must be lots more angry compatriots that would support you. It's time that those 'Blue bloods' earn their keep.
Also the details about your toiletries don't interest every one, don't you think.? I am not.

mahdev, Ahmedabad,

I can understand the prime minister writing his memoirs along a political vein after his tenure as PM .But for him and his wife to actually go public with such personal details just shows the low-life mentality of wanna be celebrities have reached the highest levels in our country. Sad really sad.

My Mom always called us the Rythmairs, as with 4 children and 3 miscarriages she and my Dad didn't have any Rythm which was the churches answer to birth control. Turned out a lot of Catholics didn't have much rythm either. :P

Dev, Washington, USA

Contraceptives? I thought she was a practising Roman Catholic.

A. Brick, Kyiv,

Mrs Blair/Booth makes a big deal about being a catholic how does she square the use of contraception?,don't the normal rules apply to champagne socialists.

mitch, Wolverhampton, England

Perhaps the best way people could show how totally disgusted they are with the Blair's revelations about their private lives would be by not buying the book?

Sara , Rome, Italy

So much for blairs catholicism.

mitch, Wolverhampton, England

"A great couple with good values"...Where on earth have you been for the last ten years?

BR, Reading, England

I thought she was a Catholic!!

Tony Knight, Durham,

That's right Jim let's lighten up about Tony Blair. And let's lighten up about all the other leaders throughout history who led our country to illegal wars because they had a great sense of humour. That's so important for the hundreds of innocent Iraqi children left as orphans to remember

Richard , Sudbury , UK

Hopefully, next time he sees her, the Cardinal Archbishop of Westminster will give her a good ticking off for making so public a non-use of "contraceptive equipment".

Chris Gillibrand, Brussels , Belgium

Contraceptive equipment... mmm... I would have thought more of this woman if she had made the World aware of her use of contraception when she had influence, not as a salacious tit-bit to pad out a book published for pecuniary gain ( check her response to Browns 26% holdback... 26%! )

Douglas Miller, Fulham,

And Cherie uses the same sad story to help sell her book. They deserve each other.

SteveH, London, UK

What an awful thing to say. What proof? This should read "Anti-war neo-communists use Blairs grief to slander the war against Islamic religious domination."
In the USA the neo-comms protest funerals for fallen soldiers ,bomb recruiting stations, storm churches and are VERY anti-semetic.

William, Atlanta, USA

And this from a person who wanted to protect her family, until she could write it in a book. l
They have no values and they are just interested in money. Another example of how out of touch the Labour party is with all working people, and this includes Brown.

Alan, Southampton, England

First Prescott and now Cherie. Do we really need to know all this detail. Do you want to tell us or was it for a fatter cheque.

JC, London, UK

Why blast Blair for being callous bout revealing Cherie's miscarriage? I mean, imagine if other countries, or Iraq side, misconstrue the non-holiday. It would have been disastrous, without the announcement.
Heartless? I say, when you are in public service, your own life takes second place.

edwin heng, Singapore,

I totally agree - its a ruddy shambles

john, edinburgh, UK

Is there no level to which this couple will not stoop in the search for more cash?

Colin, shrewsbury,

Admitting Leo was a mistake and that it happened because it was "cold"... Not very nice thing for his mam to write a book about eh!

Why the urgency to get this to the Press? If you not going to invade early then why would they need to hinder speculation of a early invasion?

Protect Strategy??

Andy, England, UK,

The fact that she is even telling us all about this shows how willing some people are to sell their souls for a quick buck. I bet Tony doesnt much care since the juicier the headline the more the cash they get.

tim, l,

"People need to lighten up on Tony & Cherie......couple with good values." Really??
Tony: Using miscarriage as a political tool + many more deceptions everyone knows about
Cherie: accepting gifts from foreign diginitaries (she's supposed2return), charging CHARITIES £1,000s for speaking at events!!

PP, Lon, UK

According to the article, Tony Blair and Alistair Campbell discussed the announcement of the miscarriage "in order that a delay in their holiday did not trigger false speculation of an early invasion of Iraq."

How is this using "Cherie's grief to protect Iraq strategy"?

Dan Greaves, Madrid,

Just one more small insight into Tony Blair's utter lack of character and ethics.

But it adds little to our overall impression because there are so many, many other examples we all know.

JOHN CHUCKMAN, toronto, Canada

Mr. Blair for president of the EU? No way! We do NOT need such a heartless politician as the head - however nominal - of the union. And that is over and above his brownnosing Mr. Bush in such a way as to enter a war with no legitimatre reason.

H. De Koning, Leiderdorp, The Netherlands

Why do people keep on blathering on about Cherie being working class? Her father was a well known successful actor, she went to Grammar School, she is a LAWYER for goodness sake!

Pete W, Bristol, UK

I am astonished that the wife of a former Prime Minister write her memoirs in this way. IIs there a financial problem ? A rift in their marriage ? Menopausal problems ? This is not a proper way to unveils family problems. Obvously there is money bhind all this. Think about her children.

anita watts, brussels, belgium

I can only admire her openness - despite university and the bar, she retains her decent working class, honesty and frankness. It is too easy to assume that she found her position in 'high society' an easy ride and that she 'milked' her position. It must have been a very stressful time for her.

John Button, Maidenhead,

Sounds quite an interesting read. I will consider buying the book when it becomes available in charity shops!
it's quite normal for high profile people to write autobioghies. It is better that she writes one herself rather than have one written about her!

L Brown, London, UK

Is there any level to which this attention-seeking woman won't stoop?

Tom F, Maidstone, UK

I'm sure if i was Leo i'd be delighted to learn that i was conceived at Balmoral - what a great story. People need to lighten up on Tony & Cherie who seem like a great couple with good values.

Jim Davids, Birmingham, Uk

I'm sure Leo will be pleased to find out that he was conceived from an omission. What will these Blairs not do for money?

Neil, Oxford, UK
