Gerald Kaufman tries to justify his expenses

Pathetic, simply pathetic.

"If I can say so in a very chaste way, I live very modestly. I don’t have much in the way of luxuries."

Not much in the way of luxuries? Two "similar" £8,000 TVs, a £1,500 rug and two £220 lead crystal breakfast bowls. Gerald Kaufman has disgusted me for many years but his whining self-justifications are just pathetic.
