Or you can buy over 3000 chairs at a £1000 a pop for the MOD. That didn't happen. They may have been valued at £1k a piece in the press (trust me they were nowhere near that much), but any bulk order would have attracted a discounted rate. The real scandal is the cost of the PFI for the headquarter...

Re: Tottenham Hotspur v West Ham Utd - Match Thread

Got no chance, we're playing Spurs and Newcastle according to the BBC
A fast start by Newcastle as Dejan Kulusevski peels away from the defence, he is clattered by Lukasz Fabianski and there's shouts for a penalty but Kulusevski was offside as he broke clear.

But it isn't , you're just recycling propaganda. The ideal is that everyone has a compliant vehicle , isn't out of pocket and London's air quality improves. It's not going to make that much money as at present 9/10 are compliant so it's just a vocal minority making a fuss! As per usual. If it was p...
