EXPENSES FIDDLED

Benny Hill isn’t dead. He’s writing for The Guardian:

An officer in France's elite DST counter-espionage service yesterday stood accused of fabricating investigations, inventing informants, fiddling his expenses, falsifying missions and cavorting with a glamorous Egyptian call girl while pretending she was a valuable source of undercover information.

Who's to say she wasn't?

He should immediately leave DST and run for high office. He's obviously a natural for French politics.

Sounds more like she was a valuable source of "under-the-covers" information
