    An iPad most likely associated with his business mobile plan. Companies generally cover the roaming charge for it’s employees because it means that employee is reachable if shit hits the fan while they are abroad. Mine does, and it’s silly to assume it would be any different for someone holding public office.

    The only difference here is he went from a country where roaming is free (or like $1/GB), to a country where it is crazy expensive, racked up a ludicrous bill on his company plan, and then hoped no one would notice

      I’m going to go ahead and ignore what you wrote. It’s largely incorrect and screams ‘I havent read the article’. My answer would be what I wrote previously so I’d be repeating myself

        Wow the article says the exact same thing I did, what are the odds

        Just as a heads up, we use £ in Scotland. Not $.

        Most people can infer fundamental meaning from conversational context, sorry that is lost on you
