Why is 500K of public money being spent on this? Any one with more context? Is there anyone I could speak to against this?

- mhh__ 5y agoCorruption. I'm going to make a wild guess and say that the website has been contracted out to some senior politicians husband's (our corruption is now done by women and minorities, too, progress!) company or something to that effect. Edit: Downvoters, it's pretty well documented at this point that the group of tories in power like giving gov. money to friends and family https://www.sophie-e-hill.com/slides/my-little-crony/ https://www.sophie-e-hill.com/slides/my-little-crony/ Just recently they wrote of billions of pounds in COVID procurements that in large part went to very strange new companies and delivered nothing.

- rsynnott 5y agoI mean, given the timing, I would assume to distract from Brexit, Number 10 parties, etc. This (pull out a perennial policy interest and suddenly promote it weirdly eagerly, to distract from the government's scandals) is at this point such a trope of British politics that people make sitcoms about it (half the storylines in the Thick of It were basically this).
