Anyway, it’s only fucking money and now Jimmy Carr is paying his taxes the nation can afford it.” If successful, this would equate to £18,1818.18 per day, not far off the hard-pressed average licence payer’s take home pay.</p> <p>With a memory like that, some are speculating Mr Entwistle may have early onset Alzheimers, whilst others are adamant he could make a very good News International executive.</p> <p>Lord Patten was unavailable for comment at his ‘Ivory Towers’ residence, as it was his day off and nobody knew where he was. </p>
