You mean, they might end up like this?

Is there any end to the corruption? Affairs have always happened (and ministers were sacked) but to this is added corruption.

I imagine his boss will not be in a position to do much about it.

To be honest, when I reached the first million, I thought you know what - I don't feel any better than before I'm not gonna bother any more... !
re the endless Tory sleaze, I don't think they care anymore... they have their ambitions, they know they have from Dec 2019 plus five to get them done and that's that - nothing will stop them from persuing their plans to get rich out of anything they can, resulting in more of the sort of disgusting lying, cheating and a complete absence of any sense of responsibility across the corporate board that the Grenfell enquiry is slowly revealling.

I think it also highlights unbelievable hypocracy. When Ferguson was out of Age after he was visited by a lover, Hancock said:

Last year he said he was left “speechless” after government adviser Professor Neil Ferguson allowed his lover Antonia Staats to visit his home, in breach of social distancing rules at the time.

But at the time of Hancock's photo op (with his lover), social distancing rules were still strictly in place. So yet again a case of "do as I say not as I do". But there will be no accountability, no scrutiny.

So, a man who has an affair and misuses public funds on his girlfriend excuses a man who has an affair and misuses public funds on his girlfriend.

Beautiful symmetry in an imperfect world.

Nice letter, but poorly laid out and constructed IMO.

Sentence paragraphs please.
Short and to the point.

Maybe I'm old-fashioned in my training in letter-writing?

No subject heading ....... to start with.

"I am writing" ???????
Of course you are!

"As you know"???
Waste of typing.

Need I go on?

[Jdsk]

Sentence paragraphs please.

What does that mean... that a paragraph should only contain one sentence?

Thanks

[Mick F]

In an official letter, yes.

[Mick F]

Give me a while, and I could re-write it.

Sorry, but I can't be bothered because it's Friday.

[Mick F]

Sorry, just been ranting about that letter to Mrs Mick F and she agrees with me.

Absolutely awfully constructed letter, and she's an MP as well as deputy leader of the opposition?
Absolutely awful.
