    You know he is going to swan off to the USA as soon as he looses the election. There will be a reason he will not investigate the tax fraud that the audit office said was happening. The people of Uxbridge should be ashamed of what they voted back. He is piggy backing on their ignorance to make money for his family.

    • Crime?!? These are perfectly legal deals. Knowledge is power and everyone’s going to die anyway. The man is simply providing for his poor family while he has some power. It’s not his fault if these IT surveillance people happen to peek at his documents (heavy /s)

      It’s scary how much knowledge these folks have access to…

      I would argue it’s rich people and not politicians in general. We have some kind of poor politicians (<1 million) and the never do bullshit like that while we also have rich politicians which all the time do stuff like that.

      There are politicians that really try to serve the people and there are politicians that are only in the game for money and power and we need to sort that out!

      • Look, I’m older than the majority of the crowd around here; I’ve lived in several countries and unfortunately that’s the way it is with politicians. Sure, I don’t doubt there are a few here and there who are “idealists”, but if they stay long enough in politics, they’ll join the group who wants power and money. And it happens with the left and the right. Some politicians are happy with a steady income of a few thousand of dollars and some with billions of dollars deals.

    Crooks, crooks… Whether it’s in the UK, France, Canada, US and etc. these crooks are everywhere. Surely these fine people must attend some kind of monthly get together and devise a strategy on how to feed shit and bollocks to the common folks.
