Due to the Sentencing Act 2026, Arshid Hussain – the man who abducted and raped me as a child, and who did the same to dozens of other children – is being considered for early release. He was sentenced to 35 years in prison in early 2017 and was described as one of the most dangerous men in the UK. He was later convicted of further offences.
His brother, Basharat Hussain, is also being considered for release.
I honestly can’t put into words how disgusted I am with the British government.
Let me categorically Debunk this utter rot. @sainsburys.
I am a poultry Breeder. The hens that lay white eggs (Amberline/White Star) DO NOT have a lower carbon footprint.
Yes they eat a bit less and produce roughly the same amount of eggs as the Brown egg layers (Bovan/Lowman/ISA Brown) but they live shorter lives, are prone to dying suddenly when startled, a flighty and nervous and because they live shorter productive lives (12 -18mnths) vs brown 18/24mnths (both commercial farmed), you have to incubate more which is increased (Electricity/gas costs) and their eggs are not the same quality.
I breed and keep 20+ different breeds, including: ISA Brown hens and White Stars. All my hens are 100% free range, Not a single barn kept bird, I have ISA browns that are 5yrs old and still laying beautiful Brown eggs, I have not seen a White star live beyond 3yrs and certainly none have laid eggs past 18-24mnths.
White stars Lay themselves to death. They are slender birds and because they dont eat a lot, it drains their personal vitality to keep up laying the eggs you want to sell because of the nonsensical lie that they are "More Carbon Neutral"
You want to know about eggs, come talk to someone like me, Don't rely on some hairbrained imagination of a buyer who's trying to squeeze the profit margin for a few extra pennies at our expense and to the poor hens detriment.
🚨BREAKING: Henry Nowak's father speaks out on the murder of his son:
"He told officers he could not breathe NINE TIMES, he said he had been stabbed FOUR TIMES, but the officer replied saying' 'I don't think you have, mate.'"
What a brave man.
SHE CAUGHT A COP SHREDDING FILES
Irene Bhadresa was a senior barrister working inside British Transport Police (@BTP). Around 2000 to 2002, she walked in on an officer named Craske physically tearing up prosecution files and stuffing them into sacks.
The files belonged to a unit that had been set up in January 2000 to process up to 20,000 fare-dodging cases a year passed on from London Underground. Craske's defence, when it went to trial, was that he was just trying to make the unit run more efficiently. The jury took 50 minutes to acquit him.
After the verdict, Craske helpfully pointed out that the only two cases actually prosecuted from the reassembled torn documents involved fare dodgers who had avoided paying 60p and 80p respectively.
Bhadresa reported what she saw. That is literally her job as a lawyer.
She was sacked.
She took British Transport Police to employment tribunal and won nearly £275,000 in compensation for unfair dismissal and victimisation.
The taxpayer paid it.
Nobody in charge faced consequences. The officer walked free. The unit built to prosecute tens of thousands of people for not paying train fares destroyed its own files and the institution's response was to destroy the career of the woman who noticed.

HE KNEW THE DOSSIER WAS FAKE. WEEKS LATER HE WAS DEAD IN A FIELD
Dr David Kelly was Britain's foremost weapons inspector. He spent years inspecting Iraqi facilities, earned a Nobel Peace Prize nomination, and knew more about Saddam's arsenal than almost anyone in government.
In 2002, Tony Blair's government published a dossier claiming Iraq could deploy chemical and biological weapons within 45 minutes. Britain went to war on the back of it. No weapons were ever found.
Kelly knew the dossier was rubbish. He said so, quietly, to a @BBC journalist. That conversation ended his career, his privacy, and ultimately his life.
The MOD carefully allowed his name to leak to the press as the BBC's source. He was then hauled before parliamentary committees, stripped apart by his own employer, and thrown to a media frenzy he never asked for.
Two days after giving evidence to MPs, the 59-year-old was found dead in woodland near his Oxfordshire home.
Instead of a proper inquest, Tony Blair asked Lord Hutton to run a private inquiry. Hutton concluded suicide. The inquest was opened, then suspended, and never resumed.
Eight senior legal and medical figures, including a coroner, later wrote to @thetimes saying the verdict was unsafe. They argued the wound found on Kelly's wrist, a severed ulnar artery, would not have caused sufficient blood loss to kill a healthy person.
There were no fingerprints on the knife found beside his body, even though he was not wearing gloves.
In 2011, Attorney General Dominic Grieve rejected all calls for a new inquest. He said the Hutton Inquiry was "tantamount to an inquest" and that further investigation would be dismissed by judges with irritation.
A man challenged the government's justification for a war that killed hundreds of thousands of people. He was publicly destroyed, died in mysterious circumstances, never got a proper inquest, and the people who sent him into that media storm faced no consequences whatsoever.
Tony Blair became a Middle East Peace Envoy the following year. You genuinely could not make it up.

NHS MANAGER TOLD HER WHISTLEBLOWERS GO MISSING OVERNIGHT
Totally normal stuff from a world-class health service.
Victoria Rixon @Victoria_Rixon spent six and a half years as an NHS midwife. She watched labour wards run on two members of staff. She watched colleagues go 12.5 hour shifts without food, water, or a toilet break, each responsible for up to 20 patients at once. She watched a woman labour alone for ten hours behind a curtain with no care whatsoever. The baby needed emergency resuscitation.
She reported what she saw. Because that is literally what the @NHS told her to do during induction.
What happened next is a classic in how Britain's most trusted institution handles inconvenient truths.
She was falsely accused of being responsible for the death of a baby.
Her employer sent a cease and desist letter after her exit interview.
And a member of NHS management delivered her a friendly warning:
'whistleblowers go missing overnight'
An NHS manager. Said that. Out loud. To a midwife who raised patient safety concerns.
On 9 April 2024, Victoria handed back her Nursing and Midwifery Council @nmcnews registration and walked away from the career she had trained four years for and loved every day of.
Because she says the institution she worked for was actively harming the women and babies in its care and punishing anyone who said so.
She is still speaking publicly. She is still being harassed. The NMC @nmcnews, NHS England @NHSEngland, and the Royal College of Midwives @MidwivesRCM have had inquiry after inquiry, report after report, and the wards are still dangerously short staffed.
But sure. The system is fine. It just needs another review.

HE BLEW THE WHISTLE ON DEAD BABIES. THE NHS SHOWED HIM THE DOOR.
Dr Stephen Bolsin joined Bristol Royal Infirmary (@uhbwNHS) in 1989 as a consultant anaesthetist. Within months, he identified that too many babies were dying during heart surgery.
He spent six years trying to fix it from the inside. Mortality rates for children's heart surgery in Bristol eventually fell from 30% to less than 5%.
You'd think that'd be the end of the story. It wasn't.
He wrote his first letter of concern to the trust chief executive in 1990, five years before Joshua Loveday, the last of 29 babies and toddlers, died after complex open heart surgery at the hospital.
A further four were left with brain damage. His letter received a dismissive telephone call in response.
The inquiry found mortality in Bristol for children under one was probably double the England average, and around a third of children who underwent open heart surgery received less than adequate care.
It described a unit with poor teamwork, too much power in too few hands, and surgeons who lacked the insight to stop operating.
The Kennedy Report was published in 2001. It found an old boys' culture among doctors, a lax approach to safety, secrecy about doctors' performance, and a lack of monitoring by management.
And Bolsin? He found it impossible to find another position in the UK and moved to Australia, where he became director of critical care services at Geelong Hospital and achieved world-class outcomes. The NHS got a new governance framework. He got a one-way ticket to Melbourne.
Members of Parliament confirmed that Bolsin knowingly sacrificed his job, his professional standing, and his young family's life in Britain in defence of what he knew was morally right.
His achievements in establishing clinical governance across the UK and globally have never been formally acknowledged in the UK.

DR CHRIS DAY TOLD THE TRUTH. THE NHS DESTROYED 90,000 EMAILS. THE JUDGE CALLED HIM A LIAR.
I have been following this case for some time. What you are about to read is not an allegation. It is a matter of documented public record.
Dr Chris Day @drcmday is a locum emergency medicine doctor who blew the whistle on unsafe ICU staffing and avoidable deaths at a South London NHS hospital. That was 2013. It is now 2026. The case is still running.
The first four years were spent fighting a legal argument designed to strip all junior doctors in England of whistleblowing protection. Around 54,000 doctors. Chris privately funded that fight through the Court of Appeal, backed by 5,000 crowdfunders. The government did nothing. He won.
Then, while he was giving evidence under oath, cost threats were made against him and his legal team. Because he was mid-testimony, he could not have frank discussions with his lawyers. The case settled in 2018. None of the substantive issues were ever heard. Around half a million pounds of public money spent, a similar amount from crowdfunders, and everything buried.
The NHS then told the press and MPs that no cost threats had been made and that the case had nothing to do with ICU staffing. The Financial Times and the Telegraph both reported the cost threats in detail. Neither story was ever legally challenged.
The case returned to court in 2022. Jeremy Hunt appeared as a supportive witness. During that hearing, a Trust director got up at 5am, went to a hospital, and deleted 90,000 emails before they were due to give evidence. They admitted it in an unsigned statement and then refused to be cross-examined on mental health grounds, without medical evidence. The judge accepted that. The NHS won.
Multiple EAT judges declined to engage with the written evidence. One called Chris a liar in open court, despite his account being backed by his own barrister's written record, two MPs, and two national newspapers. Several judges volunteered unsolicited positive comments about the barristers involved. No recusals followed.
Last August, Chris wrote formally to Lord Fairley, President of the Employment Appeal Tribunal, placing on record his view that the handling of his case meets the definition of institutional corruption from the Daniel Morgan Independent Panel Report.
That definition is precise. Concealing or denying failings to protect an organisation's reputation is itself institutional corruption.
The case is now before the Employment Appeal Tribunal again in 2026, this time on the wasted costs claim against @HillDickinson, the same firm that spent four years using public money to argue junior doctors out of whistleblowing protection, while withholding the very contracts that proved their argument wrong.
@Channel4News covered this case in March 2026. Two MPs have called for a public inquiry.
The question Chris asks is simple. If there is not a single false sentence in his witness statement, and if the evidence behind his account has never been successfully challenged in court or in the press, what exactly is the basis for calling him a liar?
Southport knife attack survivor Leanne Lucas 'devastated' after 48 NHS staff accessed her medical records for NO reason
Leanne Lucas, the dance instructor who was stabbed while running a Taylor Swift-themed children’s workshop in Southport in July 2024, has been told almost two years later that 48 members of staff at University Hospitals of Liverpool Group looked at victims’ confidential records with zero clinical justification.
The trust discovered the breaches in August 2024 but delayed telling survivors until this week, claiming it was to protect their mental health.
Leanne said: “I am absolutely devastated and horrified that my privacy has been invaded when I was at my most vulnerable… 48 people not involved in my care abused their position of trust.”
The hospital has now launched HR disciplinary action against the staff involved, notified regulators and professional bodies, and issued a formal apology.
Leanne has waived her anonymity and is represented at the ongoing Southport Inquiry by law firm Broudie Jackson Canter.
NHS SPENT £5,000 OF PUBLIC MONEY A DAY ON LAWYERS TO SILENCE A WHISTLEBLOWER
Dr Kevin Beatt (@drbeatt) was one of the most respected cardiologists in the country. He pioneered heart attack treatment at Croydon University Hospital (@croydonhealth). And then a senior nurse was suspended mid-procedure, without his knowledge, and a 63-year-old patient named Gerald Storey died on the table.
Dr Beatt was left for 20 minutes with a nurse who had no basic familiarity with the procedure. He called the decision to suspend the nurse "the most overtly reckless act" he had witnessed in his career. A coroner later agreed the suspension contributed to the patient's death.
So Dr Beatt did what any responsible clinician would do. He raised concerns. Staffing shortages. Appalling equipment. Bullying of junior staff. Ageing radiation machinery putting patients and staff at risk. He kept raising them. For years.
In September 2012 he was sacked for gross misconduct.
The tribunal in 2014 was not impressed. It found there was "no evidence" Dr Beatt had an ulterior motive, that "extremely damaging and entirely false" allegations had been directed at him, and that a misleading press statement about his dismissal had been "calculated and was likely to cause damage to his reputation."
Not only did Dr Beatt win, but the tribunal determined he had not contributed in any way to the dispute. That is unusual. Employers almost always manufacture some conflict to argue contributory fault.
The trust's response? Appeal. Then appeal again. Then try the Supreme Court.
The whole thing only ended when the Supreme Court refused the trust leave to appeal a Court of Appeal decision in Dr Beatt's favour. He was eventually awarded £857,110.25 in compensation, including £25,000 for injury to feelings and £7,500 in aggravated damages.
During all of this, the GMC continued to investigate him even after he was exonerated by the tribunal. He struggled to find work. His career, his reputation, his finances: all ground down by the very institutions that were supposed to protect patients.
In 2015 Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt (@Jeremy_Hunt) was criticised for refusing to intervene, saying it was a matter for the local NHS Trust, which at the time was spending £5,000 a day on legal fees to fight the man who tried to save a patient's life.
The trust later said it was "pleased" to have the matter concluded. They also said they "strive to ensure staff feel supported to raise concerns." Genuinely extraordinary stuff.
Dr Beatt described what happened to him in his own words: "What they do is, if things have gone badly wrong, instead of saying things have gone badly wrong, they try to cover it up."
A landmark case. A destroyed career. A dead patient. And an NHS trust that kept fighting right up until the highest court in the land told it to stop.

NHS FILED 200 COMPLAINTS AGAINST A DOCTOR. EVERY SINGLE ONE WAS LIES.
Dr Raj Mattu was a cardiologist at Walsgrave Hospital in Coventry. In 2001 he spotted something management had apparently missed: squeezing five patients into cardiac bays built for four was killing people.
A 35-year-old died because staff could not physically reach him through the overcrowding. Dr Mattu told @BBC (@nhsuhcw). He filed reports. He raised alarms.
The NHS response was textbook. They suspended him. Then they filed 200 complaints against him to the General Medical Council. Not a typo. Two hundred. Over eleven years. Every single one was rejected.
A tribunal later heard that a senior manager had said : don't worry about a parking ticket, we want to get him off the road completely. The suspension followed within weeks of that conversation.
Dr Mattu was sacked in 2010. He spent over a decade unable to practise cardiology while the trust spent an estimated £14 million of public money fighting to keep him out. His health deteriorated. He underwent major lung surgery. His colleagues described him as being hounded mercilessly.
In 2016 an employment tribunal ruled he had been unfairly dismissed. He was awarded £2.5 million in compensation including tax contributions. The tribunal found the dismissal was inextricably linked to his 2001 whistleblowing. It confirmed he was blameless.
The CEO who oversaw the whole campaign, David Loughton, was later awarded a CBE.
The doctor who tried to save them got destroyed.
The managers who destroyed him got decorated.

HALF A MILLION PEOPLE WERE DEFRAUDED
Imagine you are behind on your store card payments. You are already struggling. Then the bank quietly adds an extra charge on top of what you owe. Not because it costs them that much. Just because .. they can. And because they think nobody is watching.
Someone was watching.
Nicholas Wilson was a debt recovery lawyer. He goes by Mr Ethical @nw_nicholas on X. His old boss meant it as an insult. In 2003 he noticed that @HSBC subsidiary HFC Bank was adding an illegal 16.4% charge onto the debts of people who were already in financial trouble.
Store cards from John Lewis, Currys, B&Q, Dixons, PC World. Ordinary people. Struggling people. Being quietly robbed.
He told his boss it was illegal. His boss started calling him "Mr Ethical" as a joke. Then they sacked him.
He reported it to the regulators. @TheFCA ignored him for years.
When a researcher separately wrote to both HSBC and the FCA asking about the fraud...
... both wrote back with responses in the exact same wording, same punctuation, same paragraphs. The bank and the regulator were sharing the same script.
FCA's own independent Complaints Commissioner eventually investigated. He called it the worst case of regulatory failure he had ever dealt with.
FCA's response was to appoint Ruth Kelly, an HSBC director, and Baroness Hogg from John Lewis, onto its own board. The two people they were supposed to be investigating were now sitting inside the regulator.
You actually cannot make this up.
After 13 years of Wilson refusing to go away, HSBC quietly agreed to pay some money back. FCA announced 6,700 victims.
Wilson says the real number is closer to 500,000. HSBC has now set aside £223 million for repayments. No fine. No criminal charges. No one went to prison. No one was even publicly named.
Wilson has spent the last 20 years unemployable. Blacklisted. Living on state benefits. Fighting to keep his home. Someone even anonymously reported him to the DWP for benefit fraud while the actual billion pound fraud went unpunished.
The bank that robbed half a million people kept its licence.
The man who caught them lost everything.

NHS DESTROYED THE WOMAN WHO CAUGHT ITS DOCTORS STEALING FROM IT
Sharmila Chowdhury @sharmilaxx gave 30 years of spotless service to the @NHS. Not one disciplinary mark. Not one complaint. She was the budget holder for radiology at Ealing Hospital NHS Trust, which means she could see exactly where the money was going.
What she saw was two consultant radiologists billing the NHS for shifts they were spending at a private hospital down the road. The Trust lost £250,000 of public money through those arrangements.
She reported it to her line manager. Her medical director. HR. Counter Fraud. The Department of Health. The Treasury. Number 10.
She had a paper trail so airtight that @ITV undercover surveillance later caught the same consultants still absent during paid hours, and caught Miranda Harvie and Akkib Rafique taking direct cash payments from patients for private ultrasounds inside the NHS building, money going straight into their own account.
So what did the Trust do with this documented, camera-confirmed, publicly broadcast fraud?
They sacked her. On fabricated counter-allegations from a subordinate she had herself reported for breaching patient safety. The man who filed those allegations later sent an email signed off with "0800-F***-YOU-B****." He received a Top Mentor award from the Trust that same year.
Sharmila won the Interim Relief Hearing. She won the internal appeal. The judge asked the Trust to reinstate her. The Trust said no and refused to let her return. She was blacklisted. Job offers were withdrawn the moment employers discovered who she was. She settled out of court in 2012 with two years pay, out of which she had to pay £77,500 in legal fees alone. 38 Degrees38 Degrees
In July 2013, she was diagnosed with breast and lung cancer. Multiple consultants believe this is a direct result of the sustained stress of her treatment as a whistleblower.
The consultants she reported kept their jobs.
George Osborne said he could not get involved. Andrew Lansley said he could not get involved. David Cameron said he could not get involved. Every single official body, every single minister, every single department looked at a proven, camera-documented NHS fraud case and decided it was an employment matter.

An interesting fact about the Graham Linehan @Glinner appeal is that the right Mr Linehan exercised - an automatic right to appeal a summary conviction via a full rehearing in the Crown Court - would no longer exist under David Lammy’s proposed reforms.
SHE NAMED THE ABUSERS. THEY SENT HER ON A DIVERSITY COURSE.
In 2001, solicitor Adele Weir was hired by Rotherham Council on a Home Office programme to research child sexual exploitation in the area.
What she found was horrifying. Her ten-page mapping exercise named suspects, listed car registrations, and linked 54 abused children to one family. She estimated 270 victims at that point alone.
She took her findings to senior South Yorkshire Police (@syptweet) officers. They told her the report was unhelpful. A police commander accused her of making up stories and deliberately lying. She was told to anonymise individuals and institutions. She was told she and her colleagues were exceeding their roles.
Then files were stolen from the Risky Business office where she worked. No broken locks. No broken windows. A computer had been accessed. A police officer stopped her in her car and told her, in no uncertain terms, that people knew where she lived.
Her work was sidelined. By 2007 the operation around her had effectively collapsed. Her reports were finally released by South Yorkshire Police (@syptweet) in 2015, only after a Freedom of Information request.
The Jay Report, published in 2014, found that approximately 1,400 children had been abused in Rotherham between 1997 and 2013. It concluded that by 2005 it was hard to believe senior officers and elected members were not aware of the problem.
Zero senior officials were prosecuted. Zero.
A researcher identified the abuse network in 2001 with names, car plates, and victim counts. The institution's response was to bury the paperwork and threaten the person who wrote it.

HE PROTECTED 54,000 DOCTORS. THE @NHS PROTECTED ITSELF.
In January 2014, Dr Chris Day (@drcmday) was working overnight in the intensive care unit at Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Woolwich. Two locum doctors didn't show up. The unit was running at double the patient load the national guidelines allow. He raised the alarm. He reported unsafe staffing. He linked the situation to two patient deaths.
That's what the NHS calls a whistleblower.
What followed was eight years of litigation, a legal battle all the way to the Court of Appeal, and over £700,000 of public money spent by Health Education England (@NHSE_WTE) and Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust (@LG_NHS) trying to stop his case being heard at all.
Here's the really elegant bit. HEE's opening legal argument wasn't that they'd done nothing wrong. It was that whistleblowing law simply didn't apply to them, because they didn't directly employ junior doctors. They were just the organisation that controlled the career progression of every single one of England's 54,000 junior doctors. Totally different thing.
Dr Day fought that argument to the Court of Appeal and won. The law was clarified. All 54,000 junior doctors below consultant grade in England now have statutory whistleblowing protection. One man, crowdfunding against three QCs, changed employment law for an entire profession.
No formal apology from the NHS. No reinstatement. No path back to a consultant career. He has worked as a locum A&E doctor ever since, doing overnight shifts while his opponents collected salaries, pensions, and the occasional glowing tribute to NHS transparency.
During the 2022 tribunal hearing, the communications director at Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust deleted up to 90,000 emails. The director whose entire NHS email archive was also deleted during live litigation happened to be the instructing legal client in the case. The tribunal described the conduct as extraordinary. Nobody was prosecuted. The trust issued a partial apology about a press release.
The system did exactly what it always does. It absorbed the cost, deflected accountability, and waited for the man it destroyed to run out of money or energy.
He hasn't.

This week, Labour MPs voted to give ministers the power to decide how your pension savings are invested.
So ministers get pensions with guaranteed payouts, while they direct your savings towards their pet ideological causes, even if that means you lose money.
Disgraceful.
NHS PAID £680K TO DESTROY THE DOCTOR WHO TRIED TO SAVE YOUR LIFE
Dr Jasna Macanovic was a kidney specialist with 20 years of excellent NHS service. She noticed that a needle technique being used on dialysis patients was causing complications. Bleeding. Clotting. Deaths.
She raised it internally. Nothing happened. So she went to the Care Quality Commission, then to the General Medical Council. That is literally what doctors are supposed to do.
Portsmouth Hospitals University NHS Trust @PHU_NHS responded by sacking her for serious misconduct.
The misconduct? Telling the regulators. They called her aggressive and intimidating.
The tribunal called it a predetermined act of unfair dismissal. There was no contributory fault on her part. Zero.
She spent five years fighting them. The trust spent £680,000 of public money on lawyers to defend the indefensible. She was awarded £219,000.
The people who ran the disciplinary process against her, the tribunal described it as a counter-offensive, were later promoted.
The medical director who launched the action against her moved on to a board role elsewhere.
The CEO got a bigger job covering two NHS trusts.
Nobody was struck off. Nobody was held accountable.
The CQC investigated the medical director and found no breach. The same CQC that had texted Dr Macanovic in 2016 to tell her she was protected and could not lose her job.
Raise a concern, get destroyed, win at tribunal five years later, watch everyone responsible get promoted.
@NHS has a Freedom to Speak Up policy.
It is largely decorative.

SHE REPORTED NHS FRAUD. THEY GAVE HER CANCER AND A P45
Sharmila Chowdhury @sharmilaxx spent 30 years working in the @NHS without a single disciplinary mark. Then she caught two consultant radiologists at Ealing Hospital NHS Trust billing the NHS for sessions they were spending at a private hospital down the road. Double-dipping on public money.
Straightforward fraud.
She reported it. To her line manager. To the Medical Director. To the HR Director. To Counter Fraud. To the Chief Executive. To Number 10. To the Treasury. She had a paper trail so solid that ITV later sent undercover cameras to the hospital and caught the same consultants still at it years later, taking cash from patients for private ultrasounds inside an NHS building.
The Trust's response? They sacked her. On fabricated counter-allegations.
The man who raised those allegations later sent an email signed off "0800-F***-YOU-B****." He received a 'Top Mentor' award from the Trust that same year.
Sharmila won at tribunal.
She won her appeal. The judge asked the Trust to reinstate her. The Trust said no. She was blacklisted across the NHS.
One job offer was withdrawn the moment they found out who she was. Her legal costs hit £130,000. She developed breast and lung cancer, which her doctors believe is linked to the years of sustained stress.
The consultants kept their jobs.
George Osborne couldn't get involved. Andrew Lansley couldn't get involved. David Cameron couldn't get involved. Because everyone decided it was an "employment matter."
A proven fraud case, covered by ITV, the Guardian, Daily Mail and Channel 4, and the official position of Her Majesty's Government was: not our problem.
This is what the UK does to people who try to protect public money. It destroys them and promotes the people they were trying to stop.
