He loaned us an office in his tower block in Vauxhall for a charity project I was part of. He lived in the penthouse at the top overlooking the Thames. He would occasionally invite us up for champers and cocktails of an evening. He was very entertaining company but oddly a bit like a small boy. A bit of a scoundrel though

One of the tragedies of his life that Monica Coughlin didn’t get to see him end up in jail for what he did - she died a month before.

Ah! The good old days, when politicians were jailed for committing perjury and perverting the course of justice.
How times have changed.

He got sentenced to four years in the jail, served two years then walked into the House of Lords.

And I thought you had to promise to avoid criminals to get early release

A tory scallywag, even by their standards he was rotten to the core.

The predictable media outlets spinning on a tanner as they firstly ignored his numerous scams and scandals (which the tory party knew about all along back to the 1960s), tore him to ribbons when he was found guilty and jailed, recently he's been weaselling his way back and posthumously cannonized by the same media!

All this he was a bit of a lad or whatever is shite. He was a dirty lying crook who deserved more jail time than he got.

Queen pays tribute to 'irrepressible' Jeffrey Archer

She also paid tribute to Jimmy Savile when he died mind. Clearly seems to be not what you did or not did that gets pulled up on death, but where you rank in the ruling classes thoughts.
