Sleaze or not to sleaze? That's the question...
Good news this morning, our law-abiding Prime Minister has paid back £6,000. Why? Well, all the freebies he and his family have received. That’s nice, isn’t it? An upstanding Prime Minister. Where have we found him? I think he fell from heaven, just now I’m looking what he has done with his wings. There is just one thing that bothers me, why do politicians accept freebies so much? Yes, obviously I know, it’s about influence. Let’s be fair, those who shower these so-called freebies, clothes, free tickets, a year’s subscription to a whisky club, free flights to Antarctica, whatever , why accept it at all? Even a free bar of chocolate? The givers only look for one thing, influence on policy making and possibly financial advantage. It should simply be unlawful to either give or accept freebies, or any gift made e.g a free house for a time. Any MP is at the end no different from any other employee in the country. Why all these extras? It is said, and I have said it before; power corrupts,
