snoop1130 Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 PM Johnson: No impropriety in my relationship with U.S. businesswoman Britain's Prime Minister Boris Johnson is seen outside the venue for the Conservative Party annual conference in Manchester, Britain October 1, 2019. REUTERS/Henry Nicholls MANCHESTER, England (Reuters) - British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said on Tuesday there had been no impropriety in his relationship with a U.S. businesswoman which is now subject to a possible misconduct investigation. The government of London said on Friday it had referred Johnson to Britain’s police watchdog for potential investigation over allegations of misconduct involving tech entrepreneur Jennifer Arcuri while he was mayor of London. “I can tell you there was no impropriety as far as I’m concerned,” Johnson said when asked about the allegations on LBC Radio. Asked why the allegations had surfaced, he linked them to those who wanted to stop him from delivering Brexit. “I think there’s a very good reason, and that is that I’ve been tasked, one way or the other, to get Brexit done by Oct. 31, and there are quite a lot of well meaning, and highly intelligent people, who basically think that would be something they don’t want to see,” he said. “And I think that there is a concerted effort now to frustrate Brexit.” -- © Copyright Reuters 2019-10-01 Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking Thailand news and visa info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beautifulthailand99 Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 (edited) Much more detail about the irregularirities here - corrupt as <deleted>. Lock Him Up ! The latest twist follows revelations that firms run by the entrepreneur – who is said to have confided in friends she was having an affair with Johnson – received £126,000 of public money. About £11,500 of that figure was paid by L&P to Innotech while Johnson was mayor and after Cuneo left the agency. Arcuri also went on three overseas trade missions led by Johnson, two of which she had initially been turned down for. The Sirius scheme, run by UK Trade and Investment (now the Department for International Trade), aimed to attract international entrepreneurs to set up businesses in Britain by providing visas, expert advice and mentorship, as well as a £12,000 grant. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/oct/01/revealed-jennifer-arcuri-got-visa-from-scheme-run-by-former-johnson-official Edited October 1, 2019 by beautifulthailand99 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that pole is being improperly subsidised with public money, that's everyone's business, and he should resign/be sacked. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably you are ok with them passing laws so long as they are ones you agree with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
