A filthy rich property magnate who owns a high rise development is stubbornly refusing to sign off on slightly more expensive cladding which would keep hundreds of tenants safe from peril.
'I'm not backing down,' said Jeremy Gout, a multimillionaire and member of the exclusive All In Club in Kensington. 'I am not legally required to waste my hard earned money on building materials which are proven safe, so why would I? I retain the services of the best lawyers in the City to stall that sh*t until never.
'But, hey, you should have seen me at the table last night. There was a million in the pot and I went all in on a deuce and a seven. Nearly bluffed my way into the biggest win of the night, if those f*ckers hadn't all called me.
'And the night before I was at the Kitten Private Members Club. Those girls are high end incredible, but their daddies haven't secured them offshore trust funds. So it falls to me to drop them £10k a lap dance, and 20 times that each for private encounters which would make a sex doll blush.
'So, no, I don't sleep at night. But that's the price of having so much fun exploiting the poor.'
