The creatures outside looked from sofa to sofa, and from sofa to sofa, and from sofa to sofa again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.

LOL
I second that LOL.
Does dazzle camouflage really work against the Serious Fraud Office?
“You’re going to need a bigger sofa . . . “
Seriously, why would anyone dress like that?
Theo, Steve had it: Cam.

It is the only garment with pockets big enough to hold £3 million quid.
If the press coverage is correct, this one may just be simple enough for the SFO not to fuck up and get a conviction.
It’s camouflage colouring. It enables her to sneak up unseen on chickens, particularly of the Kentucky Fried variety.
In rugby they talk of an outside half getting an “armchair ride” if his pack dominates the opposition. A sofa was absolutely the best prop for her in that interview, because it wasn’t exactly a ferocious grilling. Looks like she tugged a few Progressive contacts and got a big splash in the Grauniad as a puff piece.
John Square, never overestimate the competence of the SFO!
Is that Joseph and his amazing technicolour dream coat?
I can occasionally read a Jenkins all the way through and Hoggard could be entertaining, but I’ve never been able to read an ordinary Gruan article to the end.
This was no exception. Though I was reminded of their simple outlook on life; if the State gives it money it must be a Good Thing.
Some exceptions are obviously made on the grounds of taste.
Do we think Nigerian fraudsters will shortly sue her for bringing them in to disrepute?
SE. This^^^^. Doesn’t say much for old dish face’s judgment, or the Office of Budget Responsibility, for not flagging it or throwing out the anchor on further ‘gifts’ to protect us benighted tax payers.
I think someone is going to demanding she return their tent pretty soon.
“Seriously, why would anyone dress like that?”
Simple: Attention whoring.
Gosh, wow, LOL. I read through the whole Grauniad hagiography, just a tiny hedging of bets here and there. Amazingly the word “fraud” failed to appear even in a negative context.
And at the end, links to four or five other Grauniad pieces, all similar to judge from their headlines. The woman must be a saint; either that or the bien pensant left are going to end up looking bloody foolish.
Other things they didn’t mention.
The possibly not a chauffeur (but who really cares)’s daughter’s “bursary”.
The HMRC PAYE withholdings and their non-payment to HMRC.
I would also note that, like many in the IT industry, I didn’t think there was anything that could lower my opinion of Deloitte*. I was, of course, wrong.
* Who are not, Guardian, “the financial sector.” They are parasites on many sectors, including finance.
Why would anyone dress like that? Because dressing in such an overtly “ethnic” fashion is rather like wrappings oneself in Harry Potter’s Cloak of Invisibility; in this case having the effect of preventing the utterence of any criticism of the wearer.
She is immense. Shouldn’t the NHS be on her case?
Just to point out that she’s actually Iranian. Make of that what you will
Yes, we know that. The Nigerian refers not to race or nationality but dress sense.
Weird posture. Seems to be half-sitting, half-standing. And is the other leg on the table or something?
