Won't be doffing my cap at any of these privileged little 'Bastards' any time soon. I hate what Cameron & his side kick Osborne did to our country. Right Wing says it all. When are they going to prison?

Tory scum

wemdmj.bsky.social•4 days ago

People like Cameron and the Tory elite and their mates didn’t need to make a fast buck via the VIP lane. They had huge wealth already. It was simply greed at the expense of everyone else. No conscience!

And no consequences

Proper corruption, instead of getting 4 pairs of effing glasses or a few thousand for your campaign
Nice to see after all this time!

We know all this really. WHEN will we hold these criminals accountable? When I visit friends who are in prison for peaceful protest, it’s not the wealthy I see among fellow visitors & other prisoners. Yet the wealthy take & have always taken EVERYTHING from all of us. When will we stop grovelling?

Just because he's posh doesn't mean he isn't a disgraceful grifter. The tax payers want their money back!

Corruption runs through Tories like a stick of rock

Dodgy Dave, up there with Trump in self serving corruption.

ruralriding.bsky.social•5 days ago

No shit Sherlock.🥴

shoveller.bsky.social•4 days ago

We all knew there was a huge amount of corruption involved in the PPE VIP fast lane. And despite Kid Starver's promise to get the money back - ZILCH.

racingrambo.bsky.social•5 days ago

What is the point of these revelations? After all he is known as “dodgy David”. Nothing will happen to him or his mates. However, they lock up a man for stealing a mobile phone.

philt602.bsky.social•5 days ago

The really sad thing is, that this will come as a surprise to almost nobody!? The "crime" in the UK seems to have been found out!?!

catpawsc.bsky.social•5 days ago

Shock. 🙄

longoff.bsky.social•4 days ago

It's time these people were prosecuted and sent to jail.

malreed.bsky.social•4 days ago

He won't lose a wink of sleep though, none of them will.

jeb60.bsky.social•5 days ago

When are this lot going to be held to account?

peterwelsh68.bsky.social•4 days ago

The dozens of ex PMs who gather front row on Remembrance Sundays in London should be forced to stay behind for a no holds barred public Q and A when the hero's have gone.

Remind me again how he got the tag “dodgy Dave”?

pascalr57.bsky.social•5 days ago

No redeeming features whatever. Responsible for most of the issues Britain faces today and people seem to think he was a good PM. On what measures? God knows.

winstonsmith2019.bsky.social•4 days ago

Des casseroles aux fesses, lui

pascalr57.bsky.social•4 days ago

Yes, but he gets away with it, everytime. That's what priviledge buys you.

Lord Dodgy Dave of Greensill

daveacoley.bsky.social•4 days ago

Colour me shocked 🙄

mudwiggler.bsky.social•4 days ago

Put pigfucker and his crooked friends on trial. Jail them all, confiscate and sell their assets from criminal activities.

lizmurison.bsky.social•5 days ago

Is this part of the current Inquiry taking place behind closed doors?

invisibldiscarded.bsky.social•5 days ago

Labour are doing nothing bar a little tokenism. Chief Constables, Companies House & HMRC efuse to apply our laws.

Mone, the official scapegoat of Tories, Labour & Reform, is sailing the high seas in her yacht, & swanning in & out of UK, at will.

iantofp.bsky.social•5 days ago

Get the bastard in court then!

200% windfall tax on all PPE profits during COVID

jercor.bsky.social•4 days ago

This sort of thing has been going on for years ,
why else would silver spoons enter the political world.

Bring on the prosecution….oh…

molynj.bsky.social•4 days ago

We need an anti-corruption agency like they have in Singapore. If we did, loads of people would be going to jail as a result of the Covid PEP procurement scandals.

sarahmw.bsky.social•4 days ago

Although most of Singapore's corruption is committed in-house by MPs and their families/friends. Mates helping mates is an international phenomenon.

molynj.bsky.social•4 days ago

My understanding is that the amount of corruption in Singapore is small, mainly because of this agency.

Back in the day, the British administration in Hong Kong introduced something similar. Many went to jail; locals and expats alike. Really changed the attitude towards corruption and cronyism.

sarahmw.bsky.social•4 days ago

I found Singaporean corruption similar to Nancy Pelosi's investment record. See also covid tests in the UK.
Legalized gaming of the system, but pretty dodgy.

melissapudding.bsky.social•5 days ago

Make them pay!

As a reminder, David Cameron telling the Queen about corruption.
Who knew he spoke from first had experience?

gillmh.bsky.social•4 days ago

The Queen doesn't look as though she's buying it though.

dennisobell.bsky.social•4 days ago

What dodgy Dave was using the old boys' network for personal gain? Surely not?

girasoles-lady.bsky.social•5 days ago

and they say he didn’t do enough to campaign against
brexit? Why ( apart from complacency)
