Not Tony, his son.

1. I have rarely been less interested in a BBC news story than Blair Jr. getting married

If you'd made it clear that was it was, I wouldn't have contributed to making it the top viewed story on the website. I feel slightly dirty now.

2. I sincerely hope that the two of them will be very smug and rich together.

3. The tone of the article is very much like a description of the wedding of some minor member of the

Royal Family. Or perhaps the son or daughter of an ex-president of the USA.

Politicians' children used not to get this sort of publicity IIRC. I think it started with Thatcher, but even after that, I don't think even John Major's kids were fawned on like this.

Anyway, as with any other couple, I hope they live happily ever after. If they don't, it won't be for lack of money or influential friends.

4. I think another news article

said Euan protested at the lavish affair planned by his parents. Said that will stop people from voting him into parliament.
