            We don’t want them slumming it do we. That wouldn’t be the done thing. I do hope one get a private jet for weekends. We couldn’t have them flying business class with the oiks.

            Meanwhile we have non funded food banks and 1000s homeless.

            The polititions and press love to bash the benifit system. How do they sleep when people are having benifit slashed and they are staying in 5 star hotels and flying first class, and eating like Kings? Quite well I imagine, under Egyptian cottan and goose feathers. Career polititions milk the state far worse than the people that actully help.

            I’d have them on a 3* budget flying in economy. It wouldn’t hurt them to live in the real world.

            One could spin the property as an investment for the uk gov. Saves on spending on 5 star suites for years on end. But still 12m! What’s wrong with a town house? I’m sure they could slum it for a million pound property, and a vauxhall astra.

              To me, this represents the stupid, anachronistic government view of our place in the world.

              Which is considerably lower than reality, although reality and this government are strangers to each other.

              Damn! I made a comment.

                  That’s a lot cheaper than Central London.  Something like that in Mayfair or Belgravia, 7 bedroom and the entire floor would be north of £50M.

                    Brooklyn would be cheaper: so would the supermarkets. But parking for Limo’s with CD plates? Forget it, 10 sec’s after parking they would be nicked. Ten minutes later, being stripped in a nearby Chop Shop. Ten hours later, all parts stripped and on sale. American entrepreneurial enterprise!

                      Most expats and diplomats live well especially if they have to entertain commercial customers as part of their job.Those who have lived on the fringes of such and their marketing equivalents get phrases such as ‘Dress for success’, and ‘ You are not only judged on your product, but also your standing’ drummed into your head.

                      On the other hand any diplomatic posting to Khartoum is like a posting to hell on earth. Possibly rivalled only by Mogadishu.
