From today's CityAM:
Cherie Blair, speaking at the City Women’s Network 30th anniversary gala dinner at Stationers’ Hall ... “So much has changed in the past three decades, it seems hard to remember that [30 years ago] there was still a widespread view that women could not get to the top no matter how talented they were or how hard they worked,” Cherie told an audience of rapt City ladies.
As opposed to today, where an ugly witch with neither useful skills nor a shred of decency can make it straight to the top by virtue of who her husband is, eh?

30 years ago Margaret Thatcher was on the verge of becoming Prime Minister, how much closer to the top can you get?
I hate to say this, but I have to.
Cherie Booth was successful long before anyone had heard of the grinning fraudster she married. That she used his subsequent notoriety to further her career cannot be denied, but even if he had remained a complete nonentity she would still be a successful QC.
I feel dirty now.
Ross,
Agreed, but we should also remember that a certain lady had also been sitting upon the throne of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland for 27years by then.
Still, as with all NuLab types Cherry, can't contemplate facts from before 1997 that don't portray Britain as some sort of Dickensian dump.
