I know that old fruit, I think it's a decent comparison though as some tabloid were apoplectic about Begum receiving Legal Aid although technically until all the appeals processes have been exhausted she is still entitled to legal aid (?)

Any legal knowledge here on the board?

Personally I got no issue her having it if it means she's getting the hearing in the UK courts and they can conclude the matter.

Boris Johnson receiving legal costs for Partygate is a bitter of a piisstake in my eyes.

I wonder which individual (Begum or Boris) was more of a risk and caused more damage to UK society?
