    Due to going for some women like his ex-wife it's more likely they take him to Court for child maintenance and then gag him. Hence he can't say how many children he exactly has to the UK press.

    That’s enough to Fred 7,305 people every day for a year (according to Conservative hero Lee Anderson)

    But at least he’s consistent in mismanaging his personal funds as badly as he mismanaged the country.

    The Fail/Express and their ilk must have been so excited when they heard that the evil communist BBC were in trouble, until they found out who and why.

    That has been noted elsewhere.

    Who else did Mr Boris Johnson get money, goods or services from that we should know about?

    Anyone who did that wouldn't have got security cleared.
    Lots of donations of good and services as well as hard cash from the Bamford family (the JCB lot) ones I have heard about from a mate in the know, include a lot of free use of the JCB helicopter and lots of free food deliveries from the farm shopping emporium they own (Daylesford's)

    I have at least ten cousins I haven't seen or spoken to for over thirty years...

    That is a bit of a non-sequitur. Also people elected to public office don't go through the same vetting regime as us mere mortals, else you would never elect anyone. It's perfectly possible to allow someone access to secure material without it. It's equally possible there are good elected politicians in the House who will never get anywhere near classified information. And if someone did try to coerce a senior politician, we can be fairly sure the security service would be on to it with very large boots.

    Put like that it's a bit of a non-story, isn't it.

    Wasn't it effectively a credit card.

    He was earning 800K a year before he took office. Had to take a massive pay cut. Use credit to make up the difference?

    started a topic Boris Johnson

    Boris Johnson

    Another scandal involving the Director General of the Beeb, Richard Sharp, before he was appointed, Boris Johnson's own cousin and Simon Case. The Times exposed this. (I don't have a link to The Times - https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/t...ntee-f7nt5kfml)


    https://www.theguardian.com/media/20...-boris-johnson

    The BBC chair, Richard Sharp, has said he has asked the nominations committee of the BBC board to review any potential conflicts of interest over his role amid claims he helped Boris Johnson secure a loan, the broadcaster reported.

    In a statement Sharp said he wanted to ensure “all the appropriate guidelines have been followed”.
