What are the chances that Cherie Blair will send her old friend Peter Foster a Christmas card? After all, he did secure a great price on her Bristol properties?

The conman is still striking deals, but this time with leaders of Fiji’s military coup who have granted him freedom from house arrest to stay his mother in a rented house.

Still the centre of controversy, Foster has agreed to name corrupt officials from Fiji’s former government and also faces charges of using forged documents, as well as discrediting a rival Fiji resort project by portraying it as a haven for paedophiles. This sounds too unbelievable to be true.

Foster is having to pay for personnel security to guard him and the exotically named Vude Queen Laisa Vulakoro has provided $5000 surety. And it’s no wonder he says he wants to stay on the island with such lovely local attractions!

I guess the only card Foster wants now is “get out of jail free”, but who knows what fate awaits him. What would your message be to Foster if you sent him a Christmas card? Will he ever to shake off his notoriety? Would you buy a second-hand car from him?
