I've always thought there was a simple explanation for Boris winning the last general election - he was deemed the lesser evil of the two candidates who might have been elected to lead the nation.

A reminder to all that "libertine" is not coterminous with "liberal".
Matt just look at who the ohnson government helped in the cost of living crisis to see your wrong there sorry, he helped people on benefits first, and most, the rich could help themselves-a libertine is characterised by believing socialism should only be for the rich(government handouts to bankers etc.) this is an entirely different approach by this government which has been to the left of Blairs.

Only 1.5 billion given out in coronavirus contracts to companies with connections to the Conservative Party. The Chumocracy.

Yes, the only question is whether some unscrupulous people took advantage of the system, or was it actually devised to their specification?

I am not an apologist to government corruption, but ffs we are the least corrupt country in the terms of government corruption in the world. 1.5 billion out of 500 billion spent just shows how little corruption there was.

Sorry, but that £1.5 bn is the tip of the iceberg. It is just one small item which has somehow been pulled from the fog of official secrecy.
