You know, the use of the house in the country (Chequers), the use of the house in town (Downing Street), the security detail, the use of cars, trains and aeroplanes all at the public's expense - how much does that all add up to?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433144336299288135.post-85459666958439676332016-09-16T18:17:59.933+01:002016-09-16T18:17:59.933+01:00Do as Norway does.
