UK corruption
The Committee on Standards and Privileges has so far administered only the gentlest of slaps on the wrist to the Wintertons and Jacqui Smith, both beneficiaries of £100,000 plus scams. Guido has almost given up hope of porcine politicians being ordered to repay their ill-gotten gains. Do the punishments really deter the crimes? With the Lords establishment ruling that the Sunlight Centre’s complaint against Lord Rennard could not be upheld, because the Lords had no definition of main residence, Guido is sceptical that a penny will ever be repaid by Lords for lying about their main residence. So far not one single penny has been shamed out of these troughers of the realm.
IMO: The trouble is that this overt bad behaviour by the authorities will lead to even more widespread corruption, civil violence, and voter appointment of almost anyone who will try to put a stop to the criminality. One can imagine a party whose sole real aim is, for example, the advancement of pedophilia as picking up an excellent vote if hand on heart it offered to put an end to this awful Westminster corruption. It is not a joke - without taking a view on personal ethics, the fact remains that even a few years ago the term "Gay Christian" would have seemed an oxymoron and now many Christian churches seem to be crammed with buggers, at least if they ever show up. In the UK the slogan "success breeds success" has now become "corruption breeds corruption" with the sad effect on real growth in the economy that this will lead to. You only have to read the comic 'Dilbert' to see how far corruption has spread in business society in the US, and what damage it has done there. And in the UK it is even worse - the UK is now handing over its national sovereignty to the inchoate EU so that all UK politicians can benefit from more bribes, without offering a referendum for obvious reasons.
And Armando Iannucci says of the prospect of a Tory government…“I don’t think there’s going to be dancing in the streets. It will be like knowing you have to go in for a knee operation.”
IMO: Yeah, the sort of knee operation you would get on the NHS - you'd probably wait 20 years, have to pay some prat at a clinic anyway, and when you get it, be crippled for life - hardly able to get past the piles of shit and vomit in the NHS wards.
