Downing Street has released a comment saying that there will be no statement made about David Beckham's move to the LA Galaxy soccer team.
What? Has the world stopped turning? Has everybody gone mad? Tony Blair has nothing to say about the Beckhams? Say it ain't so. Surely this is a sign that he is no longer taking his role as Leader of the country seriously.
This is the man who led us in outrage against the incarceration of the innocent Deirdre Rachid off of that Coronation Street thing. This is the man who gained the support of such heavyweight commentators as Britney Spears, the man who dined with the Spice Girls and Oasis (hopefully not at the same time.)
Admittedly he did take his time passing comment on the botched execution of Saddam Hussein - but be fair, who wants to hear about nasty things like that when we could be hanging out with the Newcastle United lads, or holidaying with Sir Cliff?
I must say I'm enjoying reading the tabloid hype about Beckham's salary his new football club. "BECKS' MEGA L.A. DEAL" screamed the Sun, "£125m over 5 years... or £500k a week... or £70k a day!" Of course it isn't quite as rosy as all that - the vast majority of that is tied up with image rights. His actual salary is much less - He'll have to make do with a measly £9million a year. It's tough at the top - although not as tough as it will be on poor Tony. Never mind Tone - when you retire you can go and visit him in LA.
