Just when you thought they couldn’t get any lower.
Is this bung a part of what the tax payer needs to pay back?
The UK government is using taxpayers money to bribe UK newspapers to promote their own propaganda.
It’s corruption, plain and simple.
Our democracy is increasingly becoming a sham.
Criminals should be punished. Severely.
You scratch my back and I’ll give you a few £million….
Money for this but not for folk who are starving? Cool, cool, cool…
👉 CORRUPTION 👈
Wow, this is an extraordinary claim, and if evidence emerges….. ah fuck it we all know it’s true and it’ll be swept under the rug
Kickbacks to his puppetmaster, murdoch
Daylight Robbery.
Both nasty papers
Doesn’t matter, the Mail and Sun won’t report this. Didn’t you know that Madeline McCann was present at Keir Starmer’s beergate party while he was boozing and currying it up with a million people!?
Everyday there’s something new coming out about this disgraceful government
This shit wouldn’t fly in most post-soviet Nations. I can’t believe it’s pretty much shrugged off in the UK.
Yet people still voted tories!
I’m all for exposing the corrupt bastards in Westminster, but I’m seeing that this was also paid to other papers and wasn’t a preferential payment. Fake news on either side of the political spectrum is bad, can someone confirm if this was a dodgy payment or really was just a covid business support payment?
Edit :: welp, thanks to the people who replied – pretty clearly just more and more of the same old corrupt shit the Tories get off on. Why I thought perhaps this would be, just for once, not such a big deal or not yet more corruption, I do not know.
The institutional damage the Tories have done is insane and the public seems oblivious, but can you blame them when the mainstream media is bought and influenced heavily by right-wing agenda and the Tories?
And why does the rule of law just not apply to them? How many times do we need to take them to the high court to be found (yet again) guilty of breaking the law, before people are like “hmm… maybe this government isn’t that good after all?”. When will the British public wake from their slumber:(
WHERE ARE THE BLOODY [literally bloody soon because they’ve just made peaceful protests illegal] PROTESTS!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tbh I wonder how many people agree with this, this government system has clearly failed us, I say revolt, burn it down and start again, properly this time
They shut down the country, stole billions from you, lied about it then killed animals for fun and then had parties to relax and paid off the press with your money.
What are you going to do about this?
People who still don’t see how the whole thing was a scam are amazingly blind.
So at what point do we remove them from power? Cause I say 6 months ago.
Spending our money enriching their pals while they celebrate opening food banks.
The people in Sri Lanka have the right idea.
Well Murdoch needed to build another wing for his money fort!
It took me a few minutes to find out what a ‘bung’ is, they should just use the word bribe next time.
At this point they don’t care what is exposed anymore.
I wonder when the turkeys will wake up and stop voting for christmas?
it’s been over 10yrs of this joke of a government.. so I don’t think it’s going to be possible. the nation has been asleep for years.
They briefly woke up when boris told them to vote for brexit, they voted brexit and put sanctions on their own country because why not? there was no reason why they shouldn’t vote against brexit when everyone was telling them it was going to be fine. so anyway, they went back to sleep.
Covid come along. they all woke up again and grumbled, clenched teeth and accepted lockdowns, nodded and smiled when boris told them it was going to be fine. they all got abit mad though when he kept changing his mind by the day but it’s fine. the vaccine come along and people got the jab. people got a little upset because boris dragged it out abit and we had to go through a couple more lockdowns but it’s fine. everyone went back to sleep.
But everyone really woke up and got very upset indeed when boris and his mates had a party. the police got involved. it all got sorted and boris said sorry in a headline front page of the sun. everyone went back to sleep.
Everyday I see something the tories are doing that ought to muster some sort of response but it barely lifts any heads.
ask people… they all blame labour, of course it’ll be MUCH worse with labour in charge hey? seems pretty unreasonable to blame a party that hasn’t been in power for the last 10yrs or so but here we are.
it’s all slowly going to shit.. 10% inflation by end of year? meh. not worth mustering up a protest about the cost of living. everyone just talks and talks but I see no action at all. everyones just apthetic and dismissive. noone really seems to care.
But it’s fine. it’ll be much worse if labour were in power wont it?
– FYI I don’t vote. I spoil my ballot paper rather than just not turning up to vote.
– more FYI – yes, im british, wish I wasn’t.
– I’m cringed out and ashamed to be british, huge fucking facepalm cause everyone is laughing at us. especially the EU.
Why do I have to suffer because of others stupidity? Why do I have to go down with all the fucking idiots? it doesn’t make sense. You’d jump off a ship and try and swim to safety wouldn’t you???? but I can’t and I’m stuck on this island and can’t escape…. So I’m bitter as fuck.
Controlling the media, misusing public money, curbing the right to protest? Remind me again, Boris, why Russia is bad.
Cons(+2) costs money, you know?
There is one way to stave off hunger in the uk, its time to eat the rich.
This fucking country deserves everything the cunt Tories will bring.
How is this not corruption? Why is nothing being done about it?
What can be done about this in terms of the law (Bribery Act?) and what are the chances of it getting through based on the evidence available?
Another scandal. Nowt will happen. People of this country bend over and grab there ankles on the regular to take one from the elites. If this happened in France there’d be Tories hanging from lampposts
As much as I hate the Tories, it’s important to stress that that this was a coordinated effort across the globe, regardless of political parties, every major nation, right or left is equally guilty, the opposition parties as guilty as the governments. Like in America, the leaders (nominated punchbags) are such clowns that the public will assume they are the ones to blame, so then they can later be removed as the scapegoat. Boris is the perfect scapegoat for all of this, which is why they hired him.
Oh, nothing we can do about it though, we’re too much of a pussy assed country.
And yet RT and PressTV get taken off the air for being “propaganda”.
This is pure corruption, turning free media into Russian style propaganda. This should be illegal here.
I’m so sick of this twisted, subservient, pathetic country. Sick of the people that defend it. Sick of feeling utterly defeated. Sick of having the same arguments. Sick of feeling stressed all the time

I feel like this post should have been a link to the original [_Byline Times_ article](https://bylinetimes.com/2020/04/28/the-government-is-giving-away-your-money-to-the-mail-and-the-sun/)
