Default What a cheapskate

QC and former Conservative MP in foul-mouthed tirade during argument after Buckingham Palace visit

He's attending Buckingham Palace where his wfe is receiving a CBE. They're both done up to the nines and they travel by taxi.

He must have a bob or two. Why's he not using a chauffeur driven car instead of having to fight for a taxi.

Even I hired a car with driver when I went. Nothing fancy but a nice car, with the security of guaranteed pick-ups and only about £20 more than the taxi.

He does a Saturday morning talk slot with Ken Livingston on LBC radio. I expect he'll get some grief this week.

Maybe he is backing public transport?

Probably going to get shot for this one, although I've not read the news.

Probably! They seem to get along well as co-presenters, although probably difficult for you to catch, given the time difference.

What a thoroughly nice man you are caretaker

I cannot bear David Mellor, he appears to embody every deeply unpleasant aspect of our political representatives, be it past or present. I always think that David Mellor has just said something unacceptable or is just about to do so...the idea of him having sex with anyone ever

It's a shame David Mellor didnt wear a hijab

Why are ugly unfit men OK in public but not ANY aging woman?

I was't suggesting that she isn't thousand times better looking and presentable than that odious man, I just thought her choice of cleavage line was a tad disturbing.

What do the kids say "My Bad" I get a bit tetchy when there is talk of sending experienced women out to pasture.....her cleavage isn't bad though. Although I do wish women (whatever their age) would stop hauling it all out in public.

I remember as an undergraduate being at some charity event where I was sat next to this mature woman who was a vice president at some large American university. We had a fascinating two-hour conversation about Hegel’s absolute idealism and as evening wore on she seemed to become quite attractive. Then she said her favourite non-missable tv programme was Matlock and then the fantasy instantly came crashing back to reality.
