// Someone he knows and trusts to do the job? Good choice.//

god did I just read that - pleading guilty to cronyism innit?

Boris by the way - you remember the chinese wall paper and tarts boo-dwar? has paid the moolah back to the treasury ( Min of Pub bldgs and works that was) for the no 10 redecoration.

The min paid Tracy doo dah 60k, and he has paid 60k to the min

And mrs Madame-who-really-paid has regularised her 60k ( which was the real moolah!) back from a charity coz it wasnt a charity. and back from Boris - coz she cant bung him 60k as it looks like a bribe
and back from somewhere else because it looks obviously corrupt

and got it to the min so the tax payer hasnt paid a penny
er Boris paid for it all - - - official
no really - - times yesterday

There was a localised outbreak yesterday of 'I support free speech n always have' and followed by wholesale deletions and arrests
to show it was all true of course !

[Peter Pedant]

When you mention me it is, pp. Take a breath.

[naomi24]

‘It’? Careful, Gulliver - you’ll have PP picking you up on your grammar - and it’s not even ‘forrin’!
