Cherie Blair should write a book on How Not to Win Friends and Influence People:
Cherie Blair began her controversial tour Down Under with a blunder last night – by calling her Kiwi hosts Australians.The PM’s wife delivered her insult TWICE in front of VIPs including New Zealand prime minister Helen Clarke.Mrs Blair, 50, might have hoped she would get away with her gaffe – because she’d had the British Press booted out.But guests who had paid up to £380 to attend the charity dinner in Auckland were horrified.“Calling us Australians was the worst mistake you can imagine and she did it twice!” said one businessman. “And her speech was boring.”
A blunder, yes. But an “insult” or “worst mistake you can imagine”? Hmmmph! Now that is insulting!
