//Fatticusinch, this is the second time in a few days I've advised you to look a word up. Try 'harangue'.//

No need, it’s quite obvious how the weasel works, that’s why you’re at pains to deny any of the allegations in the links but that’s your infatuation getting in the way of the truth.
Poor you.

[naomi24]

Look up 'harangue'.

[Untitled]

it is very much the public’s business if wealthy individuals are giving expensive gifts or performing expensive services for senior politicians… anyone who believes this is being done out of “friendship” and nothing more is naive in the extreme…

[naomi24]

And you get your inside information from where, untitled? Out of your head - or do you have a more reliable source?

[pimplyteen]

This is boring and repetitive posting on this subject Boris is history. But eh oh, lets answer the op without repeating the same old. Boris is hanging on waiting to enter the Big Brother House.

Davebro @ 12.43 ,The Ducking stool would be more appropiate,sorry never could pronounce the letter ...."D"..

i have never claimed to either, unlike you!

[naomi24]

OK, untitled, let me put it this way. What do you think a billionaire Baron who is already knighted and already sits in the Lords can gain from an out-going Prime Minister? What's his purpose in maintaining this association?

Social capital.

….as explained to you in the earlier link.

[davebro]

TBH I think that Boris has friends who like him for himself. Some of them just happen to be rich & influential.

I can feel a composition coming on -sitting here in front of of the ivory

How does this sound

Carrie doesn't live here anymore , Carrie ....

In what respect? The man is a Lord, a knight, and a billionaire. I would imagine he's fairly well established in his own right.... wouldn't you?

Davebro @ 13.25. Yes lots of people have a Prime minister s a friend.

[davebro]

He wasn't always PM or even an MP. He did have a life outside politics & will do again I hope.

[davebro]

which is more than can be said for many at Westminster

I hope so too. No doubt being sacked for lying about a newspaper article and being party to the planning of having a fellow journalist beaten . up should be easy enough to fall back into.

I wonder what the rules on libel are on a site like this?

In what respect?
This was even prior to becoming PM.

Or are you accusing someone else in your thinly-veiled supposition?
Better start with the press……
