That reads like a lot of lies to me. As soon as it started to talk about Marxists etc I started to smell a very big rat. Tonker posted this yesterday, if true it’s shocking

Unhappy with Tory Baroness Dido Harding awarding multi-million pound contracts to businesses with Tory connections without scrutiny or tendering? Why not contact the government's Anti Corruption Champion, MP John Penrose... Dido Harding's husband?
altogether everyone:-1 2 3,
Mutual back-scratching and "favours" isn't anything out of the ordinary for either the Tories or Labour.
The only reason that this has been picked up on is the media focus around Covid, the Tories should have been more circumspect in their actions and hidden it better.
I'm not excusing it, in fact I find it reprehensible and hope it can be stamped on hard. At the same time, I acknowledge it's always happened, from a brown envelope in a back pocket at the local council meeting to sway a planning decision all the way to the award of a government contract to a friend of a friend.
All those big fund donors to either the Conservatives or Labour. They don't give the money because they are philanthropists or want a fairer society...

It’s infuriating but bugger all we can do.

That cliched phrase "it's not what you know, it's who you know" didn't spring into being for no reason. Its because it has a basis in truth since time immemorial.
It's always gone on and always will, even at the lowest of levels.
I dislike the whole ethos, but can also recognise/admit that if I was interviewing for a vacancy - had 2 candidates absolutely identical in ability but one was a friend's son, then they would get the job over the other all other things being equal.
Is that a valid reason for employing one person over another? Maybe, maybe not.
That said, if all other things were equal, I'd have to toss a coin to decide which doesn't seem to professional!!
