He’s never been confused by it. He used it for the purposes it was given - his security.

On top of this, all people accommodated will have access to private medical care (already paid for) to help reduce the NHS workload.
He won't have much change out of the £5 million

Have you seen the polls lately?

Quote:
"It's very unusual for someone to give up 27 years of their life to campaign for something.
"And this was given to me on an unconditional basis, completely unconditional basis. But frankly, it was given as a reward for campaigning for Brexit for 27 years."

"unconditional "

complete and not limited in any way:

Not really - Roy Lichtenstein’s painting are a really good investment if you happen to have suitcases bulging with cash just laying around.
