Bad luck. But what caught my eye in the story was that he is planning to "turn the experience to the benefit of hard-up constituents by producing a booklet on dealing with debt".
Anyway, anyone else got any ideas for some more books in this entertaining series?

A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than he loves himself.
When you rescue a dog, you gain a heart for life.
Handle every situation like a dog. If you can't Eat it or Chew it. Pee on it and Walk Away.

You know, daft as it seems, a bankrupt giving advice on how to avoid debt is not as ridiculous as it sounds, it all depends on whether or not the person has a full understanding of how he came to be where he is - sometimes you have to go through a process to fully understand where you went wrong.

Depends what business interests he's got his fingers into or whether he's guarantor to any business/party lending etc etc etc - not in the same league but the Tories/Labour/LibDems all need huge amounts of funding, if he's signed for any of it (how else would you get a bank overdraft as a political party) then he's left the door wide open for anyone to rob him blind.

According to the article, it's his former lawyers that were owed the money, and he claims he offered creditors a sort of reverse wonga - 48p in the £ deal over 5 years but was rejected.

So it must be a pretty significant sum, he offers to settle for almost half and they absolutely refuse - so will now scratch around his assets to try and raise some cash and he'll be in the clear twelve months from now ?
Either they know something that they won't disclose to the BBC or they are just being pig-headed (lawyers, could THAT be possible ?)
