Tony Blair Buys New Labour Theme Park
TONY and Cherie Blair have purchased the former home of the late actor Sir John Gielgud.
The South Pavilion in Wotton Underwood, Buckinghamshire, is the Blairs’ sixth residence.
A Mr Mark Rimell, a director of country house sales for Strutt and Parker, which marketed the property after Sir John’s death there in May 2000, tells the Mail on Sunday:
“When I first viewed the property, Sir John Gielgud’s Oscar was still sitting on the windowsill in the bathroom.
“The house even had its own stage, but overall it was looking somewhat tired.”
It’s a fitting sixth home for the Blairs, especially since Mr Rimmell says the home suffers from a lack of privacy: “You can be standing in one of the public rooms of Wotton House and get a clear view of the whole garden and some of the interior of South Pavilion.”
What good a pile if the plebs can’t see the common man of the people standing in it? It’s what socialism is all about.
But what will the Blairs do with the house when they’re not in residence? Will it pay for itself?
The smart money is on Blair Towers, the New Labour theme park with:
John Prescott Croquet Lawn
John Prescott Merry Go Round - drive a peddle-powered jag around a desk and see if you can catch woman dressed as a leather KitKat
Cherie Blair Supermarket Sweep & Grabber
Jo Moore’s Burial Mound - a roller-coaster ride shaped like the Twin Towers…
* Gain free entry into the Blair holiday village by being Cliff Richard.
And many more…

I wonder if he’s thoroughly checked the garden shed for those pesky WMDs that he couldn’t find a few years ago?
The bloody things must be somewhere.

He looks ancient doesn’t he. I hardly recognised him.

I wonder if he’s ordered a few of those union jack footrests from the Army. They are bound to have a big stock in in time for the summer ‘push’

Being the generous couple they are and having no regard for money, they will spend
a fortune on restoring it to it”s former Glory and return hospitality to all those people
who offered free accommodation when the Blairs holidayed.
What better place to then have conferences etc, payment made to be used to pay the
Mortgage.!!!!

Maybe he’s hoping Johnnie’ll come back, reprise his role from Arthur and be his butler.

Randie, maybe he’d slap Blair across the face for being a big spolit brat, like Geilgud did to Dudley Moore in that film.
That would be worth seeing.

Wonder if the fragrant wife is an exhibit?

Blair can afford to buy 6 houses ,but he will find it much more difficult to have in his life the natural respect and trust of the people after his political performance with Bush. He probably doesn’t give a damn .Very much into himself and out for himself is Tony.
