I hope he is just forgotten
But that party tends to bring back people
Which hopefully not in this case

With only £35000 to pay, why didn't he get a cheaper flat, paid the costs and he'd have a bit left over?
Clearly being an MP doesn't give you common sense, because when you become an ex-MP, it appears you can't cope?

Just a point on that, no he hasn't, he's been released on license and has to serve a period of time on the sex offenders list if you had forgotten, then after that he will have served his time.

I guess you have no idea of London rental costs.

I know the costs very well, which was why I live in Dover
and even that is getting silly. A friend of mine told me that their son had just bought (not rented) a 2 bed property in Cumbria for £125000, so whilst I wouldn't want to impose him on the Lake District, you can find places that are affordable!

If he plans to be a writer, surely he has no need to be anywhere near London
He could write from a bedsit in Margate

If a bedsit in Margate was good enough for Turner to paint in, then I don't see why a tyro novelist like Charlie would be constrained by a similar environment.
Perhaps he feels his class needs greater comfort for its creativity to shine through.

So where does the £35 000 saving come from even if he is paying a top end rent of say £2500 it is still only £15 000?
Ray you're not suggesting Charlie builds his own place in town for entertaining, embark on multiple Grande tours for inspiration and have a weekend pad on the coast to work?

That's about the only thing today that's really made me smile. OK - no more comparisons between a genius and a charlatan.

His wife is a charming, very helpful person. I know because she helped me a lot with a matter a few weeks ago. It is easy to condemn when we know nothing about who we are condemning, We all of us have points about ourselves we would not wish to share. Like judging someone simply on the grounds of how they look. Let's have the info re why she is not much good.

Because she doesn't keep to her own thread?
