    Make some deluded sexual accusations against someone in the public eye (the PM?) and then get crowdfunded until your bank account groans under the weight of cash.

    Don't accuse Boris of anything - it'll just make him more popular.

    I was thinking of opening a cafe at the port of Dover to capitalise on people waiting around to be checked.

    I've gone long on Heinz tinned puddings. I'll mainly be accepting payment in gold and Bitcoin. Might consider cash offers in Euros and US Dollars depending on conditions at the time. Payment in Sterling will not be considered for obvious reasons. PM me to make your offer. No time-wasters.
