Obviously, books that have been read and arent going to be read a second time do get passed on to friends, or donated.<BR/><BR/>Cherie Blair is a low-rent sleazebag who discusses her private life and her bodily functions with the general public (I wonder why she thought people would be interested? Part of her delusional approach to life, I suppose.) That's why her book is in Tesco's.

Anyone able to explain these inconsistencies?<BR/><BR/>Cherie has threatened instant legal action on any media which features her kids. Has she got something interesting to hide about one or two of them?<BR/><BR/>I am sure Levy doesn't cover this topic, but you get the impression there might be something to hide. Clarissa Dickson in Her Spilling The Beans was adamant that Tony Blair was gay.
