If it's not bad enough that the Governments mess has made it near enough impossible for any fashion graduate to get a job, they are now taking them too!!
Politics and fashion is not one that is often associated with each other (other than Sarah Browns mild attempts) and if like me you will have to re-read this next statement several times...
yes I know!! think it is actually more shocking than Ivana Trumps lips, well if it has quite sunk in I'll try my best to explain what the Telegraph details:
Basically Tony Blair's palling up with French billionaire Bernard Arnault during his time as Prime Minister has really paid off (quite literally) apparently they are in discussions over his new advisory role with the luxury goods firm Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessy. Mr. Blair has not been suffering the doom of the recession thats for sure in fact he has not been without a job since he left office in 2007 and disparate "advisory" positions have been believed to have earned him at least £15 million. So we won't be seeing Tony down our local job centre que anytime soon then, but hey Tony that nice sum of money would help out our desperate banks hey, but oh yes of course you got out of that one quick!
It seems Mr Arnault has been giving Tony his own hand outs and reportedly has made the Blair's quite comfortable, now, where to start:
- Blairs sons Eaun and Nicky both got a luxurious internships courtesy of Arnault (not quite like the work experience we know) they had accomodation, bodyguards and a chauffeur-driven cars all provided for at a believed cost of at least £40,000 for Euan's two month internship.
- This may be mistaken for something out of The Hills but daughter Kathryn also benifited from Arnaults genoristy and was allowed to stay in his 20million pad in Paris during her time studying at The Sorbonne.
- Not to forget the millionaires essential yatch, 'Amadeus', which played host to the family in the Med while they popped in to see the Pope in 2007 and it was there port of call (excuse the pun) for the duration of there stay while attending the Olympic Games in Beijing in 2008
It leaves a bitter taste doesn't it, I mean what hope is there for the rest of us mere mortals! the privledged will always be able to lead their privileged lifestyle (with or without any style credential) but they cannot however exclaim that they ever got to were they are off their own merit, silver spoon and all!

Tell me about it, sometimes I feel angry at the way some people get handed careers and a great lifestyle on a plate... but won't it feel much better getting there by your own merits alone?
