This is bad - UK Parliament. Seat of democracy.
Anyone with any sense who was in trouble would come to the whips and tell them the truth, and say now, āIām in a jam, can you help?ā It might be debt, it might be a scandal involving small boys, or any kind of scandal which a member seemed likely to be mixed up in, theyād come and ask if we could help. And if we could, we did. We would do everything we can because we would store up brownie points. That sounds a pretty nasty reason but one of the reasons is, if we can get a chap out of trouble, heāll do as we ask forever more.
Itās like House of Cards all over again. Apart from the fact that the Catholic Church claims to be he guardian of morality, there doesnāt seem to be much of a difference between this, the Catholic Church, the BBC and half a dozen other scandals. Organisations care more about their reputation than they do about their charges. A compromised employee is a useful employee.
And so the wheel turns. Large, powerful institutions protect their own, and allies when needed.
Another argument for free speech, and all sorts of other basic rights.

Many, many 'kippers. āBenefit scroungersā and āLieboreā are bandied about plenty.
