Note these "four" offenders/bureaucrats have already been arrested! It also looks like the EU is looking at a full review of its transparency and ethics policy, something that was always regarded as a fairly strong policy for a long time. It looks like they are not "hanging about" re this issue and how to strengthen their stance against these "bad apples" who can damage the reputation of the organisation. I've never seen any move close to this kinda action in this country!!! Why????? Are we so institutionally corrupt and beyond reform to change it???? That appears to be the sad position that this broken country is in!!! The four well-known institutions I'd refer to are the Westminster Govt, the monarchy, the BBC, and the civil service. Countries, well most of them anyway, state in their constitutions what the country stands for - and what it will not stand for. To make that ethical and moral commitment effective needs institutions. These are the pillars that hold up the state. IMO without them, the state or country can't work. I could go on through each one of these institutions and scrutinise how well they are working and show how bad they are!! An absolute mess as previously emphasised by many contributors on this Sb board!
