Ladies and Gentlemen,

Let's talk about Rwanda scheme!.

A masterstroke of financial wizardry where 100 million pounds magically vanishes in exchange for, well, nothing.

And just when you thought this tale couldn't get any richer, we dole out another 200 million pounds post-european union court verdict.

This isn't just ignoring the law; it's practically rewriting it with a flourish! The speed at which this government can part with money would give a spendthrift with a gambling habit pause.

And the Rwandan government, not exactly the gold standard of integrity, must be chuckling at their good fortune.

Are we in the business of funding questionable regimes now?.

One would hope there are better hobbies to pursue.

And let's talk about these kickbacks – purely hypothetical, of course.

It's almost as if someone said, 'Why make decisions for the public good when you can make them for personal gain?' After all, why waste time with ethics when there's money to be made from Rwanda's ‘hospitality’?.

In my time, we had a quaint notion: value for money.

We also had a rather old-fashioned belief in following the law.

Today, it seems, these are just suggestions, mere guidelines for those who evidently know better.

So, here's a bit of unsolicited advice: perhaps it's time to remember what integrity looks like.

Or, at the very least, let's pretend we haven't forgotten.

Because at this rate, the next thing we know, we’ll be selling Big Ben to the highest bidder.

And why not? We seem to be selling everything else, not only our values...
