The current UK government is very corrupt. The issue here is that someone at FB missed their request for a "donation". I'm sure this can all be sorted for a low 6 figure sum...
- ddek 5y agoThis is a regulator, not a political appointee or contracted agency.
- LatteLazy 5y agoIm not quite sure what you mean. In the UK system everyone is a political appointee. Just how blatent a PM is about interfering in "independent" agencies depends on the PM. And Boris literally just sacked the head of the standards commission and dissolved it to save a political nobody who isn't even needed to shore up a majority. There is no separation of powers here, as long as the PM is the PM, he is basically god.
- pjc50 5y agoFacebook literally employ the former deputy Prime Minister.
- LatteLazy 5y agoYeah, but he was never really "in" with the current lot (not corrupt, different political party, not an old boy) and he hasn't been part of a government for 7 years. It's time for a new hire/donation/whatever
- andylynch 5y agoArguably yes, at least by British standards. And according to the Times’ tapes a few years ago of the former Conservative treasurer and now Baron Cruddas you're right about the 6 figures.
