Secret meetings, secret affairs, hidden agendas,rivalry, naked ambition, small minds big egos, inane and foolish obsessions are all the esential ingredients of a long running soap opera.

Sounds like you have the making of a long running story.

John Wright the defacto leader of the FSB in the North East earns good money from the Federation, a fact that is unrealised by those that this individual aims to impress.

Details:

John Wright's invoices to the FSB, 2005 £4,960

John Wright's national honoraria,2005 £9,315

In 2006 add regional honoraium as well as an increase on the above figures.

Plus expences claimed.

John Wright was at one time employed as a Legal Executive for Cleveland County Council. He was not a Solicitor nor a Barrister as some people have been led to believe.
