YSK that Boris Johnson was one of the most corrupt Prime Minister in British history 🇬🇧 . Always broke, he often said "I just can’t afford to do this job". He wanted rich businessmen to help him.

The Financial Times has an expensive paywall. British people usually read free newspapers.

However, this story is so important that the Financial Times decided to drop the paywall.

I swear nobody on this site knows what YSK is for.
- mildlyinteresting, TIL, YSK , etc, definitely follow different rules here, seen lots TILs with stuff that happened same day
- Your Saggy Knockers?
  
  Yeltsin's Soggy Knickers
- It's so frustrating when you try to block politics from your feed to keep the anxiety down, and people hit you with YSK/TIL TRUMP DID THIS HORRIBLE THING
  
  The average Lemmite is the kind of person that thinks you shouldn't be allowed to ignore politics
The fact that we all casually talk about how big money is almost a requirement to get into, run, manage, and maintain politics ... goes to show you how democratic the system is.
- The fact that corporations are the dominate social structure is undisputable. Everything, including notions of democracy, is secondary to this. Whenever there is a conflict between wealth and the general populace the government will always side with money due to corruption.
  This is pretty universal across all nations. There is not a democracy that does not suffer from this problem. At this point it really does feel that democracy in most forms is just a window dressing for corportocracy.
  
  We just got dental care in Canada. It's not all bad.
  
  The serfs will work harder if they are made to believe their voice counts and when the serfs work harder the Owner Class makes more money.
I'm pretty sure Robert Walpole holds the title of most corrupt prime minister lol
Good story, didn’t know. Lovely look behind the corrupt scenes. However it is more than 4 years old. It’s undoubtedly still relevant and ongoing in one way or another, but it’s not breaking news.
- It's relevant in that the inquest into the Government of the time's handling of the covid-19 pandemic has just concluded. Their findings come as no great surprise to anyone. Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson -to refer to the self serving sack of festering syphilitic fucks by it's full name- is responsible for the government mishandling of the whole affair.
  
  Amen 🙏🏼
I'm not sure what this information is good for.
- Astroturfing new bot accounts I guess
What's with this 4 year old fantasy/opinion piece being presented as both recent and factual?
