The writer Felipe Fernández-Armesto is...Trevor,<br /> <br /> The writer Felipe Fernández-Armesto is, I believe, a respected historian based at a university in the USA. He was born in London, the son of a Spanish father. Although I think he is being a bit ironic, he does have a point in that the Danczuk is breathtaking in its stupidity; while the Spanish cases of massive financial fraud do seem to be at least rational. We are going to try to get in touch with Felipe, as Les May has his details. It is interesting that the pathetic Danczuk case is getting wider coverage internationally. Would it be OK for me to use your e-mail material as a comment on the NV Blog in a response to what Felipe Fernández-Armesto has written in El Mondo?<br /><br />Brianbammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13889214646896381113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1043332942481206469.post-22596446327957173632016-09-13T14:56:05.510+01:002016-09-13T14:56:05.510+01:00the writer argues that sexual misdeeeds are piffli...the writer argues that sexual misdeeeds are piffling in comparison with bribery and corruption and other matters of financial skullduggery and that Danczuk's sins are fairly minor. But the writer seems unaware that Danczuk has also been involved (and it's ongoing as we speak) in dubious financial practices too, in that he claimed nearly ten grand in expenses from the Commons to host accommodation in London for two of his children ~ who never stayed with him. So our Simon seems to operate on all fronts with equal aplomb.<br /><br /> Trevor Hoylenoreply@blogger.com
