Bwah ha ha ha, there are readily available commercial tools never mind those used by security/intelligence services to safely recover data from a device involved in a security breach.

'Hide the the stuff that incriminates me, publish the stuff that incriminates everyone else'

You missed the bit in your quote that explained:

‘He said he would like to "test" the advice received from the security services and has asked the Cabinet Office for assistance in turning his old phone on securely.’


I’m sure that was just an oversight.

You missed it too. How very strange.

Oh, dear, how sad, never mind…

Mind you, I suppose he could ask one of his mates to pay for it - you know, people who have loaned him money/given him freebies before; his cousin Sam Blyth (who was such"close family" he had to be introduced to him by Richard Sharp), Lord Lebedev of Hampton and Serbia, Lord and Lady Bamford of JCB, Lord Goldsmith, Lord Cruddas, David Ross, Lord Brownlow, Christopher Harborne, Investors in Private Capital Ltd, Keith Rupert Murdoch, UK Office of the Victor Pinchuk Foundation, etc., etc…

Well, in case you missed it, Boris is actually trying to co-operate with the inquiry. You wouldn’t think it from the tone of your post.
