$3,100 more than I've spent...

It's as important in politics, as it is in all of everyday life, I've found, to put your best foot AND face forward.

So it costs the kingdom $3,130 over a six year period, to polish and adorn the freckles and laugh lines (?) of Tony Blair's visage . Over the course of that time, it breaks down to a sum of $521.67 per year or $43.47 per month... amounting to a mere $1.43 per day.

Is that excessive?

I think when compared to sustaining the Royals, in the lives to which they've grown accustomed... we shan't quibble over a smidgen of powder...
