Russian donations and Russians given tax haven status.

Developers donate and planning laws are relaxed.

I’m sure neither of these connections are anything but above board.

Obviously a labour politician receiving money from what many would consider to be an enemy state would recieve the same dearth of headlines.

Interesting that a post showing the sleaze at the top receives little attention. Maybe it’s become so accepted that it’s ok these days.

Think I’ll buy myself a politician . Gavin must be a bargain based on his performance .

Erm can anyone lend me a tenner??

Like I said if it was a labour or snp story the usual suspects would be creaming themselves.

The level of hypocrisy in here is off the scale

How it works round here is Labour supporters ignore threads on Labour.

Conservative supporters are now ignoring threads like this.

The reason? Certainly from my pov is that there's always 'there will be a defender along soon'. It attempts to close down debate before it's even begun, it certainly says to me that you're looking to 'win' and aren't actually interested in debate.

Who said I would defend it?

I've just told you the reason why people avoid these threads and you reply with that.

You have no interest in debate as I have already said, its why people don't engage.

I'll take more interest in threads if they give a brief synopsis of the debate and a point of view, rather than just posting endless links.

And Boris Johnson does not identify as "Alex". So why bother endlessly using that name? Just seems rather childish.

Alex= Johnson.

The FT story is an odd 1. I managed to read it somehow. Yet when I clicked another link, it blocked me with a paywall.

The gist of the article (as far as I remember) is Johnson accepts cash routinely for access. There's a sort of fixer (an Eton chap) who has a long history of setting this all up. Also, the Tories got a shitload of cash from Russia. And Johnson buried the Russia report.

On further Tory corruption, there are also many examples of them giving huge amounts of money to their mates despite a lack of qualification and proven screw ups.

Hancock was found to have broken the law about disclosing contracts. Gove was found to have diverted Covid funds to be used instead for polling on the Union. Jenrick helped a v rich property dev to avoid millions in taxes.

On further Johnson corruption, he was gifted a free holiday to Mustique. A donor paid for his flat to be done up. A donor gifted him loads of expensive free food.

They're just a few examples off the top of my head.

Accepts cash for access to what?

I belive the 'Russian Report' is available.

My stance on this is the same as any other topic, if there is wrongdoing then there should be convictions. End of.

All of which have been done to death on here. And will continue to be spoken about.

Every week there is a thread about Tory corruption where not only 'the latest' thing is brought to light but everything else too.

My view is to question the rules if this is allowed in Parliament but not in industry. It’s bribery and corruption rules that don’t seem apply to our government .

That’s what should be questioned.

There absolutely should be convictions. Several Tories have been found to have broken the law. And, as far as I'm aware, they've faced no legal consequences whatsoever.

"But still they won the last election by a massive landslide because the opposition are inept, democracy is almost finished because of tribal devisive politics and silly point scoring threads like this proves where we are with it. Oh and by the way whatever happened to Keith Vaz that doyen of scruples and ethics ? "

Yes they won the last election. Does that excuse their rampant corruption?

All councilors and politicians from all sides are going to be subject to corruption. The strong ones recognise it and walk away, the rest probably don't mean to but somehow get caught up in it or are just plain greedy.

It doesn't matter whether you're Labour, Conservative, or whatever corruption is always there. That's probably the main reason people don't post on these threads, most people seem to shrug their shoulders and accept it.
