Establishment networking, sleaze and corruption. A handy compendium.



Nigel Boardman was a long-term partner at the international law firm Slaughter and May, a role he left in 2019, though he continues to be a senior consultant at the firm. Slaughter and May is deeply connected to the coronavirus loan scheme that David Cameron sought to access on behalf of Greensill Capital – repeatedly texting the chancellor, Rishi Sunak, on its behalf.

Lawyers from the firm were “working as an integrated team with Treasury legal advisers” as the Treasury set up the Covid corporate financing facility (CCFF), announced by Sunak on 17 March 2020, according to a release on the firm’s website.
 
For some reason I am reminded of Camerons claim to be 'the greenest government ever'. I cant help but think there were some letters missing from greenest.

Speaking of which, I am reminded of the character Sil, excellently brought to life by the acting talents of Nabil Shaban, in the original phase of Doctor Who.

Remember the 'sleaze' scandals in the Major administration. Seems like a more innocent time. Those twats would chance their arm for a kickback here or a directorship there, plus 'family values, back to basics' hypocrisy.

Now, they are all carpet-bagging mendacious cunts who carry on because they can and don't feel any consequences. They laugh at us, laugh at the saps that elected them. Make a pile of money and cache it elsewhere before the net closes.

Dismal. And little fucking opposition beyond liberal hand-wringing unctiousness.

We are a teat to be milked.

Fingers crossed on this:


It really has come to something when the nearest thing we've got to oversight and accountability of our government is a series of crowd-funded legal challenges, to which the government's response is pretty consistently to evade, attempt to outspend, and use every technicality they can find to stop the process. It's almost as if they know they have no leg to stand on.

I will give GLP some money again when I have a little spare...
 
It's a fucking cesspit of corruption.
But...you know. It's like when people get cats, and keep the litter tray indoors. You go to visit them, and there is this faint miasma of cat shit as you go in, but they're all blithely like "oh, the cat litter's great, it absorbs ALL the smells!". And then, when you've been there a couple of hours, the omnipresent fug of excrement fades into the background.

Spend enough time smelling cat shit, and you stop noticing.
 
Fingers crossed on this:
