I entirely agree with Matt. To accept £1000 that someone had offered as a prize for the competition as described, and then to give that money, well before the closing date, to a mediocre piece of drivel that respects none of the rules, but that just happens to be by the wretched Boris Johnson, seems to me to be verging on the fraudulent, and is an insult both to the generous donor and to eveyone who took the trouble to enter the competition.
I don't think one needs to be a socialist to find Mr Murray's behaviour extremely shabby.
