Brexit campaign spending misrepresentation

Seems the Leave.EU campaign might have been a tad naughtier, based on the fines levied, than any other group.

Indeed, Liz Bilney might suffer more than just fines if the investigations find more evidence of wrongdoing.

Thing is, its just not quite enough in my opinion. ???

Whistleblowers should expect and deserve privacy

No one wants to be a whistleblower, nor does anyone wish to be the target of a whistleblower either.

However, the function is a necessary and worthwhile safeguard to ensure compliance, especially where any business is and has to be secretive in what it is doing.

As the article says, the Barclays boss is very lucky to still be employed and also not sufficiently reprimanded to be blackballed from future banking roles, though one might think he is as close as he could be to that status.

Privacy for this function of whistleblowing is key and is enshrined in law in some countries. Long may that continue.

Deadpool is just magnificent

This BBC post highlights just how well the Deadpool marketing machine works – and clearly that Ryan Reynolds not only has a lot of time on his hands, but uses that time to star in some “interesting” movies.
That said, I liked Green Lantern, RIPD and Blade: Trinity – so not so sure he has anything to apologise for…
Really looking forward to Deadpool 2 later this month, so well done BBC for more free Deadpool publicity.???
