Actually, Bunter Soames was a much more personable politico than that slimeball BuffHoon can ever hope to be.
Agree that El Portijo was an oily git though. A mate was working in the MoD-box at the time and popped into the squadron at one stage to show his new civil serpent boss around...."Ahh, BEagle, mate", he teased, "Your friend Portillo sends his regards!". "Really? How is the obnoxious little ar$e-bandit" was my riposte. Perhaps rather unwise as the civil serpent accompanying my chum was busy ingratiating himself with the Tory party at the time! He did not look too pleased.....
And TSM, the nearest nuthouse to BWOS is BWOS!!
