Liverpool Mayor Joe Anderson arrested in bribery probe

[Brigadier]

So how is this a misunderstanding.

Well, as you struggled with "No", and "I am not defending them", you clearly either misunderstood, or are just trying to score points of your own making.

So again why make the distinction between public and private?

I didn't, I acknowledged their existence. And, it was you who introduced the private sector into this thread, not I.

Bribery is illegal whether its your money or the public purse.

Thanks for that, I never realised

The public sector doesn't have these checks and balances?

Doesn't it? Well, perhaps it might be a good idea if they did.
I might suggest they instigate one ; I should think it will be well received.

What about them?
They're spending their own money.

Care to defend this point?

I didn't, I acknowledged their existence. And, it was you who introduced the private sector into this thread, not I.

So these contracts were awarded to other public sector bodies?

The issue was handing out contracts to private sector builders through bribery - so unless I am mistaken how isn't the private sector not involved in this?

 

[Brigadier]

how isn't the private sector not involved in this?

I didn't say they weren't.

This time, I'm done with this farce.

 

[SirGalahad]

I didn't say they weren't.

This time, I'm done with this farce.

Don't worry we are all done with this farce, Brexit is nearly here!
