He Just Can't Help It Can He.

[gulliver1]

This is Boris telling lies again . When Boris went on his post election Caribbean Holiday, with his bit on the side , he said the holiday was paid for courtesy of a Mr Ross ,at a cost of £15,000. Mr Ross is a Director of Car Phone Warehouse. Trouble is Mr Ross has denied it . Oh dear Mr Johnson you are a real member of the " Con Party".

He ain’t the only one who ‘can help it ‘

[Neveracrossword]

Wasn't all this revealed, discussed, weeks ago? Is there a new element to it?

[gingejbee]

...sooner than expected...!!

[ToraToraTora]

it says above: "it is common practice to offer a link to the news article you would like to discuss." - can we have a link to help us determine What The Funicular you are talking about?

According to the Guardian website-
In the latest register of MPs’ interests, Johnson listed the holiday as a “benefit in kind” donated by “Mr David Ross”. Ross said he had not covered the cost of Johnson’s stay but that because he had arranged the trip the prime minister’s “declaration to the House of Commons is correct”.
It's all a bit confusing.

looks like he benefited from a cancellation to me.

[New Judge]

So let me understand this correctly:

The PM suggests a rich donor may have paid for his luxury holiday and has registered the matter on the list of Members' interests. If this is true it would no doubt upset you because he received a Freebie.

It turns out the PM may have registered the matter incorrectly (whether by accident or design) and may not have received a Freebie after all. This upsets you as well.

Oh dear. How sad. Never mind.

[anneasquith]

No doubt it’s an oversight and BJ paid in full for the holiday. ,?

[ToraToraTora]

looks to like there was a cancellation but Boris thought the carphone guy had paid.

[Ellipsis]

Who did pay?

[Mamyalynne]

That's what the enquiry is to find out.

[archibaldy]

Wasn't the bloke Boris said it was anyway!

18.02 . The Tax Payer , Possible,?.

[ToraToraTora]

elipsis, the link implies that their was a cancellation so I imagine whoever cancelled paid.
