This stuff is fairly incredible. Mr Mills is unclear as to whether or not a substantial sum he has received is a gift or earnings!! Indeed so unclear was he that he had to consult his accountant and the Inland Revenue before deciding that $600,000 was actually earnings on which he should pay tax. Interestingly he felt initially that it was a gift.
Either this was a gift in which case I wonder what he might have done to get such a "gift".
or alternatively of course it was not a gift in which case had the $600,000 been declared as a gift tax laws would have been broken.
I guess the public (and the media) will draw their own conclusions from this messy affair but I am sure that this one will run and run until inevitably within the next few weeks Tessa Jowell will go.

Do you think if I send Berlusconi a christmas card, I might get on his gift list? He seems a generous guy.
A birthday card as well might not go amiss and what a return for the investment of a few quid. I would probably add that one is available to give "helpful evidence" at the drop of a hat should he require
