Nothing we didn't know: corrupt politicians for hire

This investigation for the Sunday Times reveals the tip of the iceberg in terms of business bribing politicians for direct reward. It is simply scandalous and it has been going on left, right and centre in every area of policy from health to defence for years and years. The politicians caught indulging in this should be locked up and the keys jettisoned. This is blatant corruption at the very root of our so called 'democratic' system of government, it is nothing but a complete and utter disgrace.
