My favourite bit is this:

Cross-examined by Andrew Edis QC, prosecuting, Butt was asked: "So, you were a professional liar then?

Butt replied: "I would make money, yes."

Edis continued: "If the money's right you'll say absolutely anything?"

"Absolutely anything, yes," Butt said, "If I wasn't going to cash up on it, someone else was going to cash up on it."
Don't mention his two mates Ed Husain or Majid Nawaz whatever you do...
