[QUOTE=Malacandra] So the poor little lying golddigger has to get by on a beggarly few million quid. I weep for her. [/QUOTE] And weep for her child as well. Apparently she claims that her child’s allowance (which she heroicly fought for) of 35,000 quid per year isn’t enough to fly 1st class when the kid comes to visit her father. Appaerently she claims George doesn’t care that his daughter will have to fly coach . But all is not lost. The good mother who loves her daughter will kick in the difference herself. But think about it. What is Heather’s real motivation? Could it be that she’s too good to travel coach herself in order to accompany her daughter? It wouldn’t look good with Momma in first class while her daughter is in coach would it? ---

Just another example of this woman’s manipulative victim behavior. Anyone with fifty million dollars can certainly afford to pay for their child’s first-class plane tickets. And **Dutchman** , may I be the first to say it’s Paul not George. 😉 ---

And another thing, how is it that she was allowed to get away with dumping a jug of water on McCartney’s attorney’s head? [(Flattering new look for the attorney though.)](http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_id=539111&in_page_id=1770) ---

If Flannery O’Connor had written the prenup, _he’d_ get to keep the leg. \ ---
