It was obviously a complete rip-off that we were paying £400 million per year to rent the Bibby Stockholm, an engineless barge, now 50 years old, that could not have been worth more than a few million pounds. Corporate Travel Management has now admitted to having overcharged by £118 million, but that would seem to be a very conservative estimate. Yet will even that be repaid? Political kickbacks? What do you think? And to only one party? What do you think?
Such are the results of the toxicity of this debate. In Epsom, Britain was brought to the brink of the latest round of race riots by a totally false allegation that a gang of migrants had raped a white woman. Even the claim that the properties targeted were housing migrants was factually incorrect. You can blame social media only if those included a knighted Privy Counsellor and King's Counsel who had formerly served as Attorney General and who was writing in the Daily Telegraph.
