Euan Anthony Blair (born January 19, 1984, London), is the eldest son and therefore rightful heir to the fortunes of the British Prime Minister Tony Blair and his wife Cherie Booth-Blair when they pass away.
Fortunate enough to be educated at The London Oratory School in Fulham, which is very, very expensive, costing more for a day's tuition than a Senior Citizen gets to live on for an entire week, he eventually only managed to graduate with a BA in Ancient History from the relatively lowly Bristol University in 2005. His raw talent and tenacity however did not allow this to hold him back. Blair then spent three months as an unpaid intern with Republican David Dreier and Republican Party staff on the Rules Committee of the United States House of Representatives[1], there is no detailed information on how he managed to purchase food during this period. Blair cut short his internship with Harman in May 2006, after just a fortnight. A statement from Harman's office cited Blair's graduate school plans. The Mail on Sunday has announced that Blair will study a two year masters degree in International Relations at Yale University. Controversially, he will be studying on a full scholarship (worth $92000 over two years), which would purchase Herceptin treatment for several UK taxpaying cancer sufferers. George Galloway said "This is part of the supposed special relationship between Great Britain and the United States. We send our troops in support of [American] troops into Iraq to be killed, and Euan Blair gets special entry into Yale."
Euan Blair has also reportedly done some work [2].
[edit]Media coverageBecause of his father's position, Euan Blair has been subject to the attention of the disloyal and dishonest British media. This is due to his regular appearance with his parents in photo shoots (together with siblings Nicky, Kathryn, and Leo), especially during general election campaigns where attracting the 'family unit' vote was felt to be important.
In 2000, aged only 16, he was found by Police, intoxicated and incoherent in Leicester Square, having spent the night with friends. After being taken to a police station, he gave the police a false name, an old address, and a false date of birth that would have made him 18 (the legal age to purchase alcohol in the UK). The leaking of this to the press caused considerable embarrassment to Tony Blair, who told the BBC's Question Time that his son should not receive special preferences, under any circumstances whatsoever. It must have been a bitter disappointment to both his father and Mrs. Booth-Blair that Euan was neither prosecuted, nor formally cautioned, or given an ASBO, as other Working Class children from similarly difficult backgrounds would have been, leading some of the appalling British media to make the disgraceful suggestion that unfair influence was exerted in his case, which was surely a vicious suggestion.
In 2001, The Daily Mail and The Daily Telegraph both revealed Euan was applying to Trinity College, Oxford. His parents made a formal complaint to the Press Complaints Commission that these reports represented an intrusion into his schooling, and their complaint was upheld, though many others are not. (Blair was reported to have failed to meet the specified A-level grades that were part of the conditional offer.)
In 2002, the first scandal (sometimes dubbed Cheriegate) erupted over Euan's mother, Cherie Booth-Blair's use of a known fraudster to negotiate the acquisition of two flats for him and his guards to live in whilst studying Ancient History at Bristol. In 2003, The Telegraph reported that he had driven into a Taxi. Nobody was hurt, but he was reportedly walking around in shock, saying "My mummy's going to kill me", though she apparently did not say anything of the sort, and was very sympathetic.
In 2006, it was reported in The Sunday Times that Euan Blair had worked as a runner for the film V for Vendetta when it was filmed around the Palace of Westminster in the Summer of 2005[3]. Both Conservative MP David Davies and Private Eye suggested that Blair's involvement had had an effect of the filming access being allowed[4]. However, location manager Nick Daubeny, denied that Blair's involvement had helped in any way, saying that Blair had been offered the job after they had worked together as part of the filming of Band of Brothers in 2001.
