“Our people have to learn a simple fact, and that is that they will be under scrutiny 24/7 by the ‘Rat dirt machine. So even an appearance of impropriety will get built up into a major scandal. Rule number one is, don’t accept “gifts”, don’t accept “free money” for personal use. Pay your way and earn what you get.”
I think we need to aproche this ongoing double standard in a different way. Face up to it head on and call them hypocrites.
