You must be doing very well for yourself if the scale of some of these cons is just a few bob to you.;)

Fully agree.And once uncovered they should be outed and hounded to such a degree that others are made to take notice..abuse your privileged position in society then be prepared to take the consequences no excuses accepted.
And they can count themselves lucky that if it had occurred in China it would very likely have resulted in a bullet in the head.

Sad perhaps, but absolutely necessary.Investigative journalism would appear to have been some what in decline in recent years in australia it could be argued to be almost non existent owing to who controls the media here.
Good to see that the British press for all their faults are still to an extent unmuzzled.

And moving on further, today we have the speaker of the house resigning in the house, with a very brief statement!!

And guess who might be his stand in? Anne Widdecombes name is thrown into the hat :rofl::rofl: I bet she whips them all into shape :eek:

This soap opera gets better everyday :D

Awww what a shame. Now she is denying telling people she would stand as interim speaker.
