Lobbydog gave his old chum Geoff Hoon a call this morning to see what he had to say about the £272,000 spent on artwork for the MoD during his tenure as Defence Secretary.
It was part of a larger refurbishment of the MoD’s Whitehall HQ in 2004, but also came as the country was fighting wars in which troops were chronically under-funded and under-equipped.
The cash was blown on eight pieces of modern art – since nicknamed ‘modern fart’ by MoD staff according to The Sun who reported the story today.
Hoon told Lobbydog: “I doubt that I ordered it. I certainly was not aware that I ordered it.”
I imagine these words have come in handy for Hoon in the various inquiries he’s had to give evidence at.
Next stop the Dr David Kelly inquest.

What a complete hoon.
Decent men were sent to their deaths by this piece of crap that usually charges "around £2,000 a day" for his services.
Did yu ever find out if the greedy little thicko actually took his resettlement money?
You'll know better than me but has Mr Hoon ever accepted that he did anything? Except manipulate the expense system when he was in a free flat of course - no silly me he didn't do that either.
Alas, no. Everything he did was "completely within the rules".
