More on the Paul Lorber Rip-off

Returning to Paul Lorber's attempted rip-off of Brent Council taxpayers, I notice that one of his justifications for refusing to pay rent for a year is that the fitting out of the former Community Lounge will be expensive.  Of course, this is something he should, and probably did, think about before he put his bid in October last year. 

I note, however, that Martin Francis reports that Paul Lorber is contemplating a further bid to take over the "Card Room".  This seems to make nonsense of his pleading poverty in doing up the former Community Lounge, since the Card Room is a much more formidable undertaking.
