"disgrace"

[wednesday]

Police spend more money protecting Tony Blair than Prime Minister Gordon Brown, it was revealed yesterday.

A Scotland Yard source said the cost of keeping him safe has escalated since he became Special Envoy to the Middle East.

Looking after Mr Brown will cost about £1.5million a year - the same as Mr Blair when he was PM. But the bill for guarding Mr Blair is expected to top the £2million mark this year.

A source said: "He is still at the highest risk level because he is seen as the man who took Britain into Afghanistan and Iraq.​

The news came as it emerged Cherie Blair spent £25,000 of taxpayers' money on a Government car and driver even after her husband left office last June.

I understand what your saying, but why should British Tax payers have to foot the bill????

He had his time in office....he's wealthy enough to support his own protection!...i dont see why we should have to pay for him and his wife to piss about!(lady french again)
