Just a thought....

Not sure where to put this, but what salary do you reckon Bush and Blair are on? Obviously they'll get huge amounts of freebies but I was just curious as a friend had said that Cherie Blair was probably on more than Tony.... I know she's a top QC but to get more than someone who actually runs the country, surely that can't be right?!

Thanks. ;D

From 1st April 2005 - 31st March 2006

Prime Minister �183,932 + perks + staff cost allowance

In the same year, Cherie was said to have earned about �125k (presumably + appearance fees + �20k clothing allowance).

Bush's salary is reported to be $400,000 (�213,000)

Wow, thanks Octavius. The Blair's don't suprise me but Bush's certainly does.... I expected him to get in the millions as the Americans seem to pay loads for everything!

I think all these 'reported' figures should be taken with a pinch of salt really.
