Says the guy thatās just done his cost of living calcs in watts, volts and amps.
As thereās no equivalent unit for voltage in imperial (I think) under Rees-Moggs plans electricians will be an even more magical species operating in a space thatās only unique to the majority of the planet. When aliens visit, they may be the only people able to communicate with them.

To put it differently, if it was a Labour minister Iād expect a proper investigation right off the bat, and nothing less than sacking and prosecution if heās been found to have done something unethical (for the former) and illegal (for the latter).

You know all those workplace fraud lessons we all need to attend? The normal Fraud Triangle is on the left, and the Fraud Triangle as it pertains to the UK government is on the right:
The Tories have spent so much time fine-tuning how to maximise it and remove all stops, and the public I guess believe that a UK government have too much integrity (āThey couldnāt be that brazen?ā) for it to be even taking place that the lack of action is giving them a green light. Internally, I think its in such a state that if you are an MP you are almost seen as a chump if you are not defrauding the country.
The UK government since the Tories have taken power has become an absolute hellscape.

Yeah, but fuck it.
