Blair's speaking tour to be investigated

The charity dinner that Cherie Blair spoke at in Australia is to be investigated after auditors uncovered the fact that less than 10% of the proceeds actually went to the charity.
Of the £81,700 raised by the dinner, £74,900 of it went to pay for the speakers who attended, and the other costs of the dinner. Less than £7,000 was actually handed over to the charity for it to be used on researching children's cancer.
I think for once I agree with the Tories- Blair, just like her thieving and corrupt husband, have brought shame on the office of Prime Minister. Both Blairs should be languishing in prison for the rest of their lives for the thefts they have committed. But like that will ever happen.
Anyone who votes for these scum should feel ashamed of themselves. Anyone who voted New Labour should get down on their knees and apologise to the rest of us.
Story.

Isn't that one of the entrance criteria in entering the House of Commons?
(God, I cant believe I am defending her)
Its sounds like incompetence on their part, rather than hers.
But there is something a little unsavoury about charging to speak at a charity event though.
How odious is that though- making money from doing charity work.
Symptomatic of the entire Blair family, I feel.
The likes of Bill Clinton and Maggie (and you can bet your bottom dollar, Tony Blair when he finally pisses off) have made rather tasty amounts of money from such events.
Still doesn't make it right though.
