NO STRANGER TO A GOOD RODGERING SESSION IS OUR NIGEL. HE LOVES TO GET IT UP THE TAXPAYER.THE BISTO KIDS LIVE ON
Bisto KidsThose of us who remember the Bisto Kids need not grieve at their apparent passing; as long as there is Her Majesty’s Royal British Imperial Labour Party, lovers of the gravy will flourish, particularly, lovers of the taxpayers’ hard earned cash. The latest to come up with a good wheeze is the Minister for Small Business, Nigel Griffiths, Labour MP for Edinburgh South, and former Edinburgh councillor; his idea was to take a legacy of £68000, buy an old shop, and then hit the taxpayer for £10000 a year to rent the shop. He has to be commended for his financial acuity (very sharp practice) at having a 14.7% return on his investment, not a figure to be sneezed at when bank current accounts are paying out 2-3%; of course, he did not tell anyone, apart from the taxman. He most certainly did not include it in the House of Commons Register which requires disclosure of all property purchased, and all sources of income therefrom, feeling that this might be misunderstood, and him an Honourable Member, too.
