    If it were private business I would have no problem so long as he is taxed on the benefit.

    Of course he won't be, yet a care worker who gets free food at a Christmas party will be.

    Its Government, he didn't exactly shine. The money comes from Little old ladies pensions so a crispy cheese sarnie would be more appropriate.
    Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

              Seeing as he probably printed the money to get rid of him, who gives a tulip?
