He’s my local MP ( Monster In parliament) Don’t. . . Get. Me. Started! Met Andrew Bridgen recently at a Freedom march. The guy is a whistleblower kicked out of his party for having a conscience and serious balls. Blessings to you. x
The MP’s didn’t attend so that when the evidence becomes undeniable and the lawsuits mount up, they will exclaim- “Oh, we didn’t know! We couldn’t attend that day!”. It’s called plausible deniability and is frequently used by politicians. They know. They know we know. But they have no qualms lying to our faces. See Solzhenitsyn.

I loathe the whole inept parasitic greedy bunch of them. They all need sacking bar Andrew and one or two others. They are not serving us, as they should be, but themselves.
This is why democracy sucks. How influential are lobbyists and soft money in the UK? Here in the US, it's everything. Directions of inquiry will be suppressed. There is no honest debate anymore. Look at Biden's latest world welfare bill. Plenty of money for Israel and Ukraine and defense contractors but nothing to stem the southern invasion.
Why are we all subjected to corrupt liars. Does no one honest run for office?
My MP, Andrea Jenkyns, was on her FB account informing constituents it was she instrumental in alighting PM residence in blue and white but fails to respond to emails I sent.
But, Jefferson worried that the people - and the argument goes back to Thucydides and Aristotle - are easily misled. He also stressed, passionately and repeatedly, that it was essential for the people to understand the risks and benefits of government, to educate themselves, and to involve themselves in the political process. Without that, he said, the wolves will take over.

Tis easier to fool someone than to convince them that... well, Moonspinner, you surely know the rest.
Excellent job, short and sweet and cutting, (e.g. the 40 second cheer for Bridgen). I shall be resending this link to everyone I know.
