With apologies to the BBC, but isn’t his Lordship out by a week in his timing?
Surely it’s next Friday night (November 20) when UK taxpayers are traditionally invited to dig deep in their pockets and give generously for charitable causes?
Not that last year’s £28m would go far in filling the bottomless pit formerly known as NXEC.
UPDATE: This from J Alfred Prufrock...
Oh, I don't know.
£25 million would probably top up DOR East Coast's revenue shortfall for almost the next four months, now that NXEC's £40 million has gone.
