Yes. Heard it on the radio. We know as little as you as to what it's about and whether its genuine or mischief

[Atheist]

I presume it's genuine. It's a BBC report of a county court judgement, not an opinion piece from a dodgy source.

OMG the sheriff is gona take all Boris's new furniture and scrap the paper off the wall. :0)

[ummmm]

Do we actually think he pays his own bills? Can't see him rocking up to a pay point or setting up a DD....he's been a bit busy lately.

[10ClarionSt]

Can't Pay, We'll Take It away! I wonder if they'll turn up for the dosh? Nah! For £535? Don't think so, but you never know!

[teacake44]

Do we actually think he pays his own bills? well according to this NO. :0)

[ummmm]

Depends what it's for.

[Apc2604]

We know nothing about this situation. So no comment. Not really newsworthy at this stage.

[naomi24]

£535? How pathetic. I wonder who the creditor is?

[Ken4155]

Why is £535 pathetic, Naomi?

[ToraToraTora]

Let he who is without sin.........

[Atheist]

Naomi, would you think it pathetic if the money was owed to you?

[ToraToraTora]

10cs: "Can't Pay, We'll Take It away! I wonder if they'll turn up for the dosh? Nah! For £535? Don't think so, but you never know!" - the time it gets to them it'll be 5 grand!

[Apc2604]

Personally, I think its not newsworthy. And yes if it was Keir Starmer or anyone else famous I would feel the same. We have no information about it anyway.

[naomi24]

//Why is £535 pathetic, Naomi?//

Because it's peanuts to someone like Boris. Probably a restaurant bill he's forgotten to pay.

[naomi24]

//Naomi, would you think it pathetic if the money was owed to you?//

I wouldn't be taking it to court, that's for sure! Absolutely ridiculous.

[Apc2604]

Or whoever does has finances has forgotten to pay. But it's Boris, isn't it so obviously it must be something else to get at him for!!

[naomi24]

^Precisely.

[Hopkirk]

It's not peanuts to Boris. He had to give up lucrative newspaper work to take this job, and probably has high child maintenance commitments and divorce costs.

[emmie]

if he owes money he should cough up, but its difficult to know what he owes as yet as it doesn't say.
