You want to know if the bride is hot? Of course you do.
There, fixed that for you:)
Our congratulations to Jimmy Wales, co-founder of Wikipedia, who married Kate Garvey in London yesterday. Among the guests were former Prime Minister Tony Blair and wife Cherie, and A-list politicians drawn from the new Labour elite, including former Cabinet secretaries Lord Mandelson, David Miliband and James Purnell. …
I cannot tell you how pleased I was to click on the link and find that a wealthy 47 year old businessman who has been married twice already WASN'T marrying a 23 year old model/actor/nothing. Furthermore, she isn't some fluffed and puffed 40 year old eternal child.
I don't much care about either of them, but I'm always happy when stereotypes are challenged.

I reckon the groom could carry on a discussion with a couple of the guests on "Internet Research" and "Dodgy Dossiers" for at least 45 minutes.
btw, "September/Dodgy Dossier" - published 24th September 2002. Ten years, 2 weeks ago.

"I would cheerfully donate to a fund for charging Tony Blair with War Crimes. There's no politician I more despise, and that's despite the normal tendency of people to despise most whoever is currently in power."
This is how I feel. There was a campaign to impeach him but he's been out of office too long for that. That this man could be an envoy for peace reminds me of the sheer hypocrisy of a certain deceased DJ depicted as a font of respectability and do gooding, recently publicised. It was a lie, in front of camera, day in and day out.
Like you I want him prosecuted.
Or did the bride have a deer-in-the-headlights look in her eyes?
Sort of "All I remember was being passed this glass of wine at Davos and..."
Seriously I'm sure the couple will be very happy together, look wonderful, very well matched etc etc.
BTW "Diary Secretary" in political office carries a lot of weight.
Martin Boorman was Hitler's for example.
Before purveying fiction for the government, he was an author of soft-core porn including the immortal 'Busking with Bagpipes', which includes such immortal lines as:
'a little known aphrodisiac - the dangling pipes of Scotland...It's all tongues and teeth, lips and gentle squeezes... As I lie on a Lisbon hotel bed next to a Portuguese person crying out for more, I thank my pipes for doing most of the chatting up.'
A crime against good writing surely, but much less damaging than his subsequent career.
