The scandal is only a scandal because some naughty people told you about it. Not because I leaked classified info from my personal phone to my wife and others, using a potentially insecure platform and avoiding official channels that ensure accountability. Oh no

It seems some taxes are more important to collect than others.
Or perhaps, as @privateeyenews.bsky.social have argued for many years, there’s a 2 tier system where the little folk pay and the rich get special treatment. Time for serious reform of HMRC, not more cuts to vulnerable groups.

Can only be humbled by Madame Pelicot. And yet I’m astonished, angry and ashamed that so many were willing, and obviously looking for an opportunity, to do what they did.
