Oh it's true. He gets paid money, and I bet a fair whack of it, for writing, (writing ) this piffle.
He'll not be on great money.
He's hardly likely to be poached by any other paper. The fucking Beano wouldn't want him.
Thinking about it, maybe he's just the work experience kid that they let fill in for a bit when Anal left and they've all forgotten. He's probably on £14.60 a week plus bus fare.
