Is it just me….
or were you not surprised by the recent headlines of three labour former cabinet ministers were suspended from the party on allegations that they would influence policy for cash?
Let us be honest here, these are politican’s and while like all rules, their will be an honest few who break the rule, but by enlarge politician’s have proven themselves to be self serving, corrupt and bleeding useless at serving the general public, unless it serves them.
I am sure you will all know somebody who can tell you a tale of where they know a local politician, maybe even just a local councillor, who has used their influence to have something done.
This might be not allowing a particular type of business to apply for change of use on some business premises, it might be not allowing a neighbour planning permission for an extension or it could be that the road down that particular cul-de-sac seems to have grit applied to it in severe weather.
We all know this goes on, and it is no surprise therefore that former cabinet ministers have also had their hand in the till, so to speak.
When it comes to the inquiry, it will be a whitewash, no severe punishment will be dealt out as a warning to others why not, because they are ALL AT IT!
