When I worked in a bank, I was told we could be prosecuted for accepting a box of chocolates, but the government can take £5 million from someone they're awarding a knighthood and that's fine?

@eryxian46 That's right, and if you dont like it, you can vote them out after 5 years.
@eryxian46 Remember having a hospitality book where we had to write it all down. We weren't allowed to go for a lunch that cost more than £15 with a customer...which was difficult in 2005!! Yet the corporate guys would blow £200 and think nothing of it.
@eryxian46 @MarinaPurkiss But Ricky you and I were plebs and £5M that’s nothing, just what’s above the table
@eryxian46 Same with Civil Service which is held to the highest standards
@eryxian46 Laws & rules don't apply to the elites. Laws & rules only apply to the great unwashed. These laws & rules are created by the elites in order to help keep the great unwashed under strict control, and to ensure that they understand their place in society, i.e. to do as they're told
@eryxian46 These rules are only intended to ensure the peasant class don’t accept bribes etc.. You’ll find that many senior management etc… have a great deal more leeway.
@eryxian46 Same where I worked in the civil service. Why are parties allowed donations?
