  He’s forever saying stuff like that. He’s in utter lunatic.

  I actually know a multi-millionaire and he’s exactly the same, they have convinced themselves that they deserve this money and so it’s totally moral and acceptable and therefore they don’t need to give it away to good causes. He is your stereo typical rich idiot, inherited his wealth but thinks he’s a big shot as a result, and cheated on his wife with his secretary.

  He once said to me, “I would vote for labour but I have a moral responsibility to the public, so I vote for the conservatives because they are a better party for the people”, if I hadn’t been at work and didn’t have to be civil to him I’d have given him a slap for that.

  Sadly, it’s been reported in numerous newspapers, from an interview between him and The Times.

  Here’s one from The Independent, but it’s pretty much in all the papers.

      I’m hoping it’s not one of those sudden lurches to the far right which seem to occur when someone suddenly needs access to the “special lawyers who make historical allegations disappear”.

      Tell me Rod it isn’t so. Is it for defending, sexual offending? Tell me Rod it isn’t so.” 🎵
