He’s also suspected to conclude that Johnson is indeed king of the castle and the public are, as suspected, dirty rascals.
Naturally.
Christ, I’m sick and tired of this obvious corruption.
It’s at the point where non of this is right now.
Politics and politician accountability is becoming a joke here.
I’m sure this Lord Geidt fellow is a stand up guy and a paragon of probity in order to investigate the prime ministers dealings …
> In November 2021, academic staff at King’s College London wrote publicly complaining that Geidt had breached the university’s policy on conflicts of interest for failing to disclose and manage conflicts of interest. This included failure to state in the register of interests that he had been working for the Sultan of Oman, or manage conflicts with BAE Systems and Schroders, as the university had investments in BAE Systems up to 2020 and in Schroders, and had ‘multiple partnerships’ with Oman state bodies in medical care and dentistry.
if this carries on we will be voting for the least corrupt of two corrupt parties at the polls soon. Corruption will be become embedded. It’s very hard to undo.
Thank goodness, it was a fuss over nothing! Now thats behind us Boris can get on with running the corruption.
Did anyone expect anything different, corrupt to the core this govt
If I’m reading this correctly, he’s allowed to get away with lying on the record because the guy responsible for punishing him believed the lies *at the time* and direct evidence that he lied is irrelevant? Seriously?
This is almost as bad as the Met Police just refusing to investigate an event they have full 24/7 CCTV footage of and a signed log-book of exactly how many people were there. They got away with that one by the Met referring themselves to the Independent Police Complaints Commission who said: “This isn’t our jurisdiction. Why are you refusing to investigate something so simple to investigate? Just investigate the case yourself.” and the Met Police said: “Well there we have it. Case closed.”
Why are the outcomes of all of these official investigations leaked?
They don’t even bother trying to keep up any pretence of independence or integrity
The rampant corruption and law breaking is pretty exhausting to be honest.
Boris Johnson declared Boris Johnson to be innocent. In fact, Labour were in the wrong. In fact, all of England is wrong and should be made to give him their wages for emotional damages. As said by Boris Johnson, head of the Boris Johnson is innocent commitee.
Of course he is. But a local range store just sacked a staff member for accepting a gift from a customer. Seemingly it’s unprofessional. This country is fucked.
I’ve gone from tolerating him to despising him. He’s worthless, dishonest and untrustworthy. People are dying because of his policies. He doesn’t deserve to have survived Covid while other decent people are dying.
Sadly, Johnson is likely to get away with a lot and will leave office never really having answered for any of the corruption that has and will continue to pollute his time as PM.
