Re: Portillo was interviewed, reverently, on RNZ National in 2018. Archived Message Posted by Mary on May 18, 2020, 11:11 am, in reply to "Portillo was interviewed, reverently, on RNZ National in 2018." Well said. Did you receive a reply? Portillo has a permanent place in the BBC schedules as he makes his way around the planet wearing his colourful get ups. I would love to know how much the documentaries cost in terms of hotel stays for him and the crew and the travel costs. I was thinking that maybe he had one of these private companies to receive his fees gross and subject to corporation tax rather than PAYE at a higher rate but not apparently. Companies where the Rt Hon MICHAEL DENZIL XAVIER PORTILLO has held a directorship. ASSOCIATION OF CONSERVATIVE CLUBS LIMITED (THE) ANTISEMITISM POLICY TRUST SINFONIA 21 BAE SYSTEMS PLC VICTORIA SQUARE GARDENS LIMITED He has resigned from all except Sinfonia 21 which was dissolved. Note the weapons manufacturer! The Antisemitism Trust is still active. The late Greville Janner and Jeffrey Archer were directors. Sir Trevor Pears is there. A family property empire. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trevor_Pears If you need a laugh, read Archer's Wiki. He is 80 now and still around! Born to a con man and has inherited the genes. Apparently good at inventing stories although I have never read any of his stuff. His fragrant wife is still around. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Archer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeffrey_Archer Message Thread: "Portillo's Empire Journey". 9pm Ch5 Fridays. - Der May 18, 2020, 6:52 am They were damned lucky we came along when we did... - Sherwoodian May 18, 2020, 7:57 am Re: They were damned lucky we came along when we did... - Mary May 18, 2020, 8:56 am Portillo was interviewed, reverently, on RNZ National in 2018. - Morrissey May 18, 2020, 9:31 am Re: Portillo was interviewed, reverently, on RNZ National in 2018. - Mary May 18, 2020, 11:11 am Re: Portillo was interviewed, reverently, on RNZ National in 2018. - Morrissey May 18, 2020, 12:50 pm Portaloo's record - Ian M May 18, 2020, 1:59 pm   Searching
