greatest scandals of a defunct newspaper called the leinster leader

A few months after failing British media company the Johnston Press purchased the now near defunct Leinster Leader newspaper, a Johnston Press Wallah was going over the current Leinster Leader accounts in its Naas office.

Something caught his eye.

"We paid 138 million for the Leinster Leader," said he. "Why do the accounts show us still paying out rent on the buildings every week?"

A passing lackie explained the situation to him.

"We bought the newspaper," said the lackie. "The price we paid didn't include the buildings. We still lease those from the original owners."

And a little bird said: "Ha ha ha ha ha hoo hoo haa hhaaah hhhaaaah haaah haaaah hha hee hee hee ho ho chortle haaaah hahhhhhhhhhhah hhah ha ha hah ha ho ho ho heee ha ha ha."

Seriously though.

They're brilliant aren't they.
