    Is it a requirement that when in Government ( All Governments ) that you have to bend the rules in your favour as regards expences. No wonder the populace have no confidence in the Polititians. Robbing basta**s, hope he gets charged with corruption.

    “One of the five most powerful people in the country.”

    So that’s OK then.

    If that’s a recent photograph I would ask for his money back on the hair transplant.

    It never quite works, especially when they have used pubic or arse hairs for the job.

    A couple of “temporary” interest-free loans then. Interest? Compensation? Penalties?

    Thank you London Agent Lady Penelope #3.

    If the lad waits awhile and avoids corruption trials, the hair Grippens are on their way.

    @ Geoff,

    Corruption is a mistake as Lady Penelope.

    We fight corruption, and we had fun with Lady Penelope.

    “ to implant 10,000 hairs”

    Thought South Americans disapproved of implanted populations?

    What's wrong with a shaved head anyway? If you don't like your head being patted-wear a hat.

    In his case the transplant doesn't seem worth whatever he spent on it, much cheaper to have his head shaved.

    “It never quite works, especially when they have used pubic or arse hairs for the job”.

    His lower beard may be the donating culprit, providing the ' implanted population', no doubt impressing the Brazilian Senate.
