Nathan Gill, 51, appeared in a London court on Monday. He did not enter a plea to eight counts of bribery and one count of conspiracy to commit bribery.
Prosecutors say Gill, a former member of the European Union legislature who also led the Reform U.K. party in Wales, was tasked by former Ukrainian politician Oleg Voloshyn on at least eight occasions to make statements in return for money.
Prosecution lawyer Richard Link said Gill made statements in the European Parliament and in opinion pieces to news outlets which were “supportive of a particular narrative” which would “benefit Russia regarding events in Ukraine.”
The offenses are alleged to have taken place between 2018 and 2020. Gill was stopped at Manchester Airport on Sept. 13, 2021 under British counterterrorism laws, and after an investigation was charged last week.
They’re all taking bribes from someone.
All of reform? Yes very likely
All of anyone who has been in politics long enough has taken some kind of bribe.
Source?
Get some new material.
In that case the source is clearly your arse.
Me: Politicians frequently accept bribes
You: lol fUCKin SoUrCe?
Yup.
You said All politicians take bribes. Not lots of politicians take bribes or many or some, all.
I think it’s quite reasonable to ask for a source to such a sweeping statement. The fact you can’t provide any evidence shows it’s just your opinion.
You’re welcome you have your opinion. That’s what the internet is for.
In this day and age someone asking for proof of a statement isn’t something you should deride, because there’s too many lies flooding the world rn.
How do you think a person could prove secret bribes? They’re secret. They get uncovered all the time, but until they do, no one knows. That’s the whole point.
I think it’s naive of them to assume the best of a politician. The absence of a list of secret data does not make it an untrue opinion.
Then don’t state that every politician has accepted bribes without providing facts to support it.
This is on you buddy, not me.
It not on anyone.
