I’ve not read much of the detail (as others have noted it won’t change my mind that it’s absolutely corrupt) but I’m rarely aware of occasions where corruption and movement of funds isn’t somehow disguised as a legal activity involving that individual, a third party or a front company. After all those laundrettes didn’t just clean clothes hence the name.

Indeed, Owen Patterson wasn’t paid to lobby and break Parliamentary procedures. Had it not been found out he’d just be declaring away his directorship on the regular reports and nobody any the wiser.
