Ex-politicians shouldn’t harm public life, says man who’s busy harming public life as a government minister
Robert ‘bent as a nine-bob note’ Jenrick: his own activities as a housing minister suggest that he is the last one to criticise politicians who turn out to have acted corruptly while in office.
Robert Jenrick – he’s a fine one to talk, isn’t he?
He’s been a minister for three years and is already mired in more allegations of corruption than most MPs, yet he has taken it upon himself to criticise David Cameron.
The claim is that Cameron rigged the system, while in office, in order to feather his nest once he had left frontline politics.
While it may well be valid – and it is certainly worth saying that UK politicians should set an example to the world by turning their back on that kind of corruption… well, I shudder to think what we’ll hear about Jenrick after he retires from Parliament.
The simple fact is, our politicians – particularly our elected government – are able to twist the system so it delivers fat profits to them, knowing that they will never be penalised or prosecuted for it because they are above the law.
Repeat until you understand everything that it means: they are above the law.
They will never be arrested because the police never prosecute politicians, particularly those who have been senior members of a government. Never.
So there is absolutely no incentive for them not to corrupt the system to the limits of their imaginations, is there?
Oh, you disagree?
Take a look at history, and the revelations it provides about UK politicians’ behaviour both in and out of office.

Oh, boy Tory gobshite and bent as a nine bob note lectures everyone else on how politicians make sure to keep the money rolling in after they leave the office with there policies they put in place. Like we don’t know all about their sick games, what an idiot!
But just look at his character a known bent politician and he has been an MP for what 3 years! FFS and he thinks we’re stupid enough to ignore his disgusting actions for his mates I am sure he received nothing from his friend…. Yet! Just wait until he leaves the government and see who he magically gets a huge job with…
Take a look at history, and the revelations it provides about UK politicians’ behaviours both in and out of office are disgusting especially the Tory scum. Who only ever care about piling up money at the expense of the country. Yet people vote for them I really don’t understand why?
