    Cut out all your rubbish and show me facts. Show me where he broke ministerial code or shut up.

    If you don’t want to admit to yourself that their conduct throughout all of this stinks then that’s up to you but windmilling about a ministerial code that gets broken without consequence isn’t much of a defence.

    Can’t let a good crisis go to waste.

    Sorry Watford but you can’t show the evidence so go and bore someone else with your rubbish. It’s Saturday, sunny and QPR are playing. I don’t want to waste my day listening to your rubbish. :emoticon-0148-yes:

    The 'ministerial code' is a weak argument to be fair. What does it actually mean? **** all !! It's about what's right and wrong. I very much doubt Hancocks family firm would have got that contract if it hadn't been Hancocks family firm. But hey ho, we should all try and screw as much out of this government as possible by following example.

    Johnson effectively scrapped the ministerial code by refusing to take action over Priti Vacant when she was found to have breached it. His ethics adviser resigned over the issue and hasn't been replaced. They do as they please.

    The point is, this government are awarding contracts to mates and family. Whether it's above board or not, it's sleazy.

    You only ever come out of the woodwork when it’s anything Tory. You were absent when your anti-Semitic mate Jezza was suspended for his behaviour.
    You don’t mention Len McCluskey and his dodgy £98m Unite hotel and the £4K that went to a Labour MP. Or the countless Labour MPs that have done wrong. Get back under your rock.

    Don’t you think you should wait for the inquiry? Hancock’s shares in Topwood were in 2019, before Covid.

    nail on the head there col. Doling out money that you and i have had to pay to the government to their family and friends is not even a question of right or wrong.

    I don't know whats worse, having it happen and not knowing about it (like back in the day) or having it happen and knowing about it but everyone (including myself) are so apathetic that nothing will be done about it lol

    Is that the best you can do? You are always wrong. Jezza/Trump/Brexit “it ain’t over yet”! Get back under your rock.

    Not sure what this has to do with your patriotic attempts to defend corruption.
