This is an eye opener and should make fun reading. MP's are supposedly hard working people who are trying to make our country a better place. It seems that some of them are much more interested in earning mega pounds to top up their income and pensions. They can find time to offer their services to commercial companies in exchange for some very attractive fees.
Led by Donkeys has a yoootooob channel here. They challenge the official narrative. They are conducting an undercover investigation on how MP's can be bought. It is not against parliamentary rules that MP's cannot obtain work elsewhere. They can.
Led by Donkeys set up a fake business, with a fake web site, to reel them in. Some MP's took the bait. Watch the trailer here.
Several news channels are reporting this. It was on Sky News but they have taken it down. It is in The Guardian. Also Wion News.
I somehow think that some MP's are looking after their own interests before those of the constituents that voted for them.
A sunny start to the day. Catch ya later. Toodle pip. ilona
Sky News haven't "taken it down". I've literally just read the story on their website.
ReplyDeleteThey have put it back. It wasn't there this morning. Thank you for the heads up.

That doesn't surprise me.
ReplyDeleteHarry S. Truman said, "Show me a man that gets rich by being a politician, and I'll show you a crook.” We have a lot of crooks running both of our respective countries.
ReplyDeleteThey should all be in the jail for their conduct over the last few years.
