I have always thought that the way our politicians acted during the lockdown that they were certainly morally corrupt, if not actually corrupt giving countless millions to their friends to supply masks for example, when as a small business while my business is technically very good I can’t afford all the red tape it takes to supply to government just to get locked down on price so I make a loss anyway!
Now it appears Boris Johnson is living rent free in an expensive property that has been donated to him.
Keir Starmer and / or his labour party have been accepting donations from the Just Stop Oil nutters.

(We can’t just stop oil it would send us back into the stone age – everything would stop working. We have to work out how to separate economic growth from climate change – see other blog posts in this subject on this blog).
I don’t think it is right for politicians to accept donations that might affect their judgement.
Surely it is also wrong for Boris to live in a house without paying benefits in kind tax like everyone else would have to?
Politicians need to be making good decisions, not ones that are bad for everyone… apart from themselves and their doners. E.g. The BS about cholesterol being bad for you, Statins, Electric Cars, the truth about Sugar, HS2. Even things like affordable housing could be done a lot better than the waste of space it is now. I am sure there are many more if I cared to research it and totally get depressed about it.
I am sorry but I can’t vote for any of these idiots come the next election it will have to be somebody else, not mainstream conservative or labour.
My money is on that they are corrupt. As we know its all about what they don’t say, not what they do say. They might not be able to take donations, but they can certainly accept benefits in kind… without declaring them to anyone, including the tax man.
I can’t support corruption either moral or actual.
