    €6,500.....sheesh...walking around money !!

    It never ceases to amaze me just how mediocre many of our supposed crooked pols and developers actually were....:confused:

    It completely takes away from the levels of national indignation which could be mustered up....

    We really do need a "Charvet Shirt" man again :D:D:D


    Men, it has been well said, think in herds; it will be seen that they go mad in herds, while they only recover their senses slowly, and one by one.

    The problem AS is that our politicians came so cheap, not the mediocrity of the developers.

    Still, no harm in reminding folks every now and again what FF (the current FF, not "old" FF) stand for.

    Good question OP.

    He may have felt that everyone else was doing it and felt left out.

    What I don't understand is why someone who was caught up in this type of thing became leader of a political party.
