Are we talking about Manuel Portillo? The same guy who, despite stiff opposition from Lord Bramall and the Legion etc still sold off the Married Quarter portfolio to the Japs for a song, just so we could pay beef compensation and provide a 1p cut in the basic rate as an election bribe in the '96 budget?
Phew. In light of his decision, its just as well we don't hear horror stories about MoD housing these days. I don't mind him, in fact I quite like the lad, but he's a hypocrite. He's gay and was quite happy to sit in judgment at MoD and decide that other gays couldn't join up.
And I wonder if the bribe worked?
