Establishment networking, sleaze and corruption. A handy compendium.

Just how green is it once its loaded, shipped round the world, unloaded, repcked, distributed, unpacked and finally used

Part of a great TrussTradeDeal perhaps?

Part of a great TrussTradeDeal perhaps?

so long as there's a profit to be skimmed off several times to several firms that do nothing more than bash away at a keyboard in an office somewhere providing just another layer of expenses to feed the shareholders

TBF, hydrogen does rather tend to unpack itself . Sometimes violently.

Lets hope not

They'll be using green hydrogen to transport it really, you people

there'll just be none left by the time it gets where it's supposed to be going.

EXCLUSIVE: Private hospitals were paid over £1.5 billion during the pandemic - Good Law Project

Basically the taxpayer is funding the private takeover of the NHS which the taxpayer funded?

Basically the taxpayer is funding the private takeover of the NHS which the taxpayer funded?

for the benefit of the very rich who will then be able to skim profits for themselves via pension funds and income from investments

Also from the piece, it's not just tory scum:

• Practice Plus Group is owned by the private equity group Bridgepoint, whose advisory board includes the Conservative life peer Stuart Rose and Alan Milburn, the former Labour health secretary.

Also from the piece, it's not just tory scum:

Yeah once on the gravy train there's no boundaries. Government by a system like jury service would be far better

This probably belongs here as well:

Policy made by the highest bidder? cunts. Completely ruins any ideas of democratic process

 

[teqniq]

Fuck this. What with my previous posts today and now this, are people ever going to be angry enough to say enough is enough?

 

[not-bono-ever]

Pick up trucks with a guillotine in the back.

[brogdale]

Interesting point.

 

[brogdale]

And there we have it...Paterson walks again:

 

[Jeff Robinson]

Britain is basically a failed state at this point. Fuck all the dumb motherfuckers who voted for and support this shower of shit.

 

[brogdale]

Was existential for the vermin, though; if they faced suspension (maybe recall) every time they corruptly shilled for capital...they'd be a spent force within weeks. That check on their venal propensity was not sustainable.

Corrupt MP walks free after fellow Tory MPs vote ...

Quelle surprise ! [not]

These grifting fuckers need to be aggressively policed by an independent standards committee, one with some teeth.
And it would be nice if they were chucked out from ever standing for office - at any level - again.

 

[brogdale]

Trickett's not wrong.

1-0 down at full-time. Never mind, just change the rules.

I don't often use the Urban neck-shot invective, but this is the fucking limit.

I am so tired. Enough. Fucking cunts.

 

[Humberto]

Hard to know where the hyperbole begins and ends anymore, but government is available to the highest bidder?

 

[eatmorecheese]

Where is the Jackie Weaver figure?

READ THEM AND UNDERSTAND THEM

 

[Humberto]

I haven't read the Bill no, if that's what you mean.

 

[Duncan2]

Small consolation but his chances of surviving the next GE must now be zero?

 

[teqniq]

Hopefully his small chance of surviving full stop.

Ms Rayner hit back and said: 'Let me put this to him simply. If it was a police officer, a teacher, a doctor, we would expect the independent process to be followed and not changed after the verdict.

'It is one rule for them and one rule for the rest of us.'

Ms Rayner said of the Tories that 'when they break the rules, they just remake the rules'.

The Independent headline about Owen Paterson

What happened in the House of Commons today was so foul, the stench might never clear​

Owen Paterson, having been found utterly in breach of the rules, has been protected by having his mates, and the government itself, just rip those rules up altogether​

 

[teqniq]

Actually 27 including my MP who I have mailed asking for an explanation.
