So, typically we get two polar opposite stories from our beloved press.
One, that the political 'warmongering' of TB was the reason for Sian Lloyd's snub, the second (probably a lot more likely, families being families, etc) was that she was allegedly rude about the bride's mother.
I'm not a fan of Tony Blair in any big way but I think we can exonerate him from this one. He's taken on his fair share of critics face to face over the Iraq war and I doubt having to stand next to Sian Lloyd at a wedding would be any big deal compared to public enquiries, uncomfortable Newsnight interviews and the House of Commons all burping and bawling at him in unison.
Both these reasons might be wrong also. The papers might be in the dark and just making it up.

Whenever I have the bad luck to stumble across anything relating to the Blairs, I still get angry. Tony and Cherie will never cease to boil my blood. They are the most disgusting people and Tony Blair destroyed this country. I would be happy if I never saw their names or photos in print again because it's much nicer when I can forget they exist.

Quite obviously he didn't destroy this country as it still exists
Sian needs to shut up. I am sure she knows why she was uninvited after receiving an invitation. She might think it didn't rise to the level of being uninvited so is saying she doesn't really know.
Be dignified instead of trying to ruin your stepdaughter's wedding by airing dirty nonsense laundry in the papers.
I am indifferent to all the parties and did like Blair generally but thought he got it badly wrong on Iraq. However, I just don't like other people ruining a couple's day with nonsense like what Sian is doing.
Actually I think you will find the papers were told by someone else, various papers have since asked Sian Lloyd why and she has not given any comment , some papers have been honest and reported that she declined to comment others have made it sound as though she did when what they have printed is hearsay , that's hardly spoiling her step daughters day .

I would go along with that assessment - it sounds more plausible and it is the type of thing that could occur in any family - a bitchy fall out kind of thing that results in a wedding ban.
I think the political parties themselves should think carefully before allowing political dynasties to evolve. The general public is already pretty disenchanted with politicians who seem to have little 'real life' experience who seemingly have existed their entire adult life in the "Westminster Bubble". With these next generation family members they seem to have been in the Bubble from birth...
and living very comfortably in that bubble!!
Quarter of MPs give jobs to family: Taxpayers' bill for politicians who employ wives and children soars to £4m a year
Even though MP expenses are under scrutiny, family fill even more roles
Many MPs use their wife as an assistant, secretary or office manager
They are paid up to £45,000 a year
I couldn't give a F**K about Blair juniors wedding.......it just invoked thoughts of bereaved parents who lost their son's in Blair's illegal war..... they'll never witness their precious boys getting married and carrying on the family name will they?!!

I have noticed that other women seem to dislike Sian intensely (perhaps they think she is after their men?) I myself think she has a smug look about herself. If she did criticize the bride's mother its her own fault she was uninvited, my daughter would be furious if anyone said anything bad about me.
But more worrying perhaps was the forecast that Suzanne's TV weather girl stepmum Sian Lloyd would turn up despite being reportedly barred after a major fall-out with the bride.
Sian, 55, who is married to Suzanne's father Jonathan Ashman, apparently made comments about the bride's mother at a pre-wedding family dinner. But she was nowhere to be seen as the couple left All Saints Church in Wotton Underwood.

As can be said about millions of soldiers throughout the years. Bottom line - they knew the risk when they joined the army

Comments
* Mum Cherie 'likes the idea of Kennedy-style dynasty'
* Euan wants to work in public sector post to build his Labour credentials
According to The People Tony Blair's 28-year-old eldest child is keen to follow in his father's famous footsteps by standing as a Labour MP. A family friend said: 'Euan has been thinking about a career in politics for some time. Cherie is particularly pleased. She likes the idea of a Kennedy-style Blair dynasty.'

Noooooooo!! :eek:

I certainly believe the latter.
Certainly more likely given fallouts in families, isn't it.

Not quite sure why I'm even bothering to reply, but :rolleyes:
I am so glad I have absolutely nothing to do with the Politics forum on this site.
I take your point as all too often it can descend into juvenile name-calling.
In any event I'm surprised this thread hasn't been moved there already

I made the mistake of peeking in there when I was new.
I never went back. :eek:
It really, really is. I stay well clear 98% of the time.

If she did criticize the bride's mother its her own fault she was uninvited, my daughter would be furious if anyone said anything bad about me.
If true, that changes things a lot. I think Sian should have just kept quiet.
Well, naturally. They'll get him a nice, safe Labour seat somewhere. :yawn:
Awful family. As if his father hadn't done enough damage already, they launch another Blair onto us. :eek::p
As can be said about millions of soldiers throughout the years. Bottom line - they knew the risk when they joined the army
but did they know the risk of a Prime Minister prepared to send them to fight in an "illegal" war?....

Another Blair in politics? What a completely terrifying thought.
And the Iraqi civilians killed in the war? Did they know the risk when they decided to be born in Iraq?
That's a bit over-the-top. He looks young-but not under thirteen!
