Over lunch a Derry Street habitué mentions that the Independent has been paying Freud Communications £40,000 a month as its PR guru; or nearly half a mill for a year's work. Yum yum. Money well spent I'd say.
However, the paper's deputy editor, sexy Adam Leigh, tweets me: "Now that truly is 24-carat cobblers".

Gosh. I wish they'd pay me that much to do sweet bugger all.
Oh Madame, everyone knows you're a wheelbound cripple who has her meals delivered on wheels, courtesy of your local WRVS. You're like that crip in Rear Window with the binockers. How you get away with it is a wonder of the blogosphere.
Freud's have been doing a good spinning job if you think Adam Leigh is "sexy"....
Worth every penny
Well Freuds had a hand in finding Lebedev. And who couldn't fall for the hairy charms of Adam? Apparently he's into ... cruelty.
Sounds true to me !
Alexander Lebedev's website says it's true !
Veritas, do you have the link? Can't find it.
Rest assured Madame, this veritas has probably got the wrong end of the stick
40K is about right for Matthew Freud's personal attention. Since he has probably helped save the paper, you right to say money well spent. Leigh may want to check the books before he tweets. But it's possible Freud has given the Indy a discount.
I think I saw Leigh on the box the other night. He was umming and erring. He needs lessons in TV presentation.
Lebedev reports a Mirror piece that The Indy hires Freud and the price seems right. I've always know the right end of a stick!

Adam Leigh genius sexy? not convinced, darling. Not Paxman sexy. Not even Andrew Marr sexy. But don't all newspaper boys like a "bit of cruelty"?
Yes it's true. Cruellas stalk the corridors.
Kelner in as top kick with Mullin as second in command. A W-S on the board. Now pay me you buggers!
