So let’s do the arithmetic. Five months, out in three. That’s the annualised equivalent of £54,000, which is the equivalent of a gross salary of just under £80,000. That’s about what a Chief Superintendent in the Metropolitan Police gets.

Personally I think she ought to be strapped to a thorn bush and whipped until she tells them where the money is, but then that’s probably just the liberal in me speaking out.
