By The Basa ⋅ February 26, 2007 ⋅ Post a comment

We are all used to Donald ‘Teflon Don’ Anderson and Ewan ‘Rasputin’ Aitken telling us just how well they are doing with our taxpayer pounds.  Isn’t it interesting when JR emails us and points us in the direction of pure proof that they are not doing to well at all - in fact they are […]
