Cherie's right to privacy?
Comment Central is not impressed with Cherie Blair's revelation over MMR, reveals Mr Finkelstein
I feel like a bit of a chump.
I strongly defended the Blair's right to privacy over MMR, arguing for that position at The Times leader conference and sticking to that line in any number of private conversations.
My main argument was that, never mind Mr and Mrs Blair, Leo Blair had rights and this was part of his private medical record.
So am I impressed to discover from Mrs Blair's memoirs that the family (to whom I am generally very sympathetic) are happy for this detail to be public now she is selling a book?
Er, no.
More Cherie Unbound in tomorrow's Times. More on the politics, less on the "equipment", promise.

Artistic license?

This woman should be afforded total privacy. In fact there should be no mention of her and all that surround her - in perpetuity.
I am sick to death of her total self-obsession.
