Theres no "dodgy ****" going on it Westminster.
Whats dodgy is your thinking it would be anything else.
All rule makers are pimps and whores and usually both.
What interests me isn't where the photograph came from, but why it was released now.
What bigger story has been buried?

The whole system is corrupt to its very core.
I've repeatedly stated my belief that we need urgent and radical reform of our parliamentary and electoral processes and procedures.
Parliament also needs a thorough deep clean and rinsing out.
What we have at present is just a free for all for people connected to the old boy network.
They are blatantly milking this country for everything they can possibly get their hands on.
I'd personally bar anyone currently serving there, or who has in the last 30 or 40 years, from holding public office.
I'd include every single Civil Servant, secretary, private secretary, personal private secretary, chief of staff, office manager, aide, adviser, typist, arse wiper, policy consultant and any other person even remotely connected to and/or tainted with the set of nefarious, self-promoting, self-aggrandising, pompous, arrogant, smug bastards that infect the place at present.
Lobbyists need to be barred from anywhere near or connected to parliamentary business with open and transparent communication channels set up for anyone trying to influence policy.
Anyone with even the slightest connection to government business or policy should not be allowed to even tender for government related contracts.
A whole industry has grown up around advising government, politicians and the traditional political parties and this has to be quashed.
The people involved in this industry seem to be friends of friends, ex politicians and their advisers, wannabe politicians and their advisers, family of those connected to Westminster, school and student buddies of those in both Westminster and Whitehall.
It really is a merry-go-round with the same old people feeding their faces at the trough....all at our expense and beyond our control.
These people genuinely believe they are above the rules that govern the rest of us.
Their arrogance is unbounded.
The party political system is rancid and no longer fit-for-purpose.
The system that produces a non-stop stream of amoral, supercilious hypocrites, a hugely disproportionate number of whom seem to come from the same elitist background, needs smashing to bits.
A wise man used to tell me that there's nothing like a public hanging to focus attention.
Personally I'd suggest nothing like a few heads on spikes on Westminster Bridge to get the message across......
Hyperbole?
Possibly.
But that's the level of disgust I have for those who seek to govern me and the system that seeks to control me.

In his email to the chair of the West Suffolk Conservative Association, Mr Houlder said the controversy had shown Mr Hancock to be a "selfish, egotistical man".
"He has let every member of the public down, pontificating that they should all make huge sacrifices on the altar of the pandemic, whilst doing the complete opposite himself," Mr Houlder added.
He has also written directly to Mr Hancock, telling him: "If you have a shred of integrity or honour you would resign without delay.
"Do the residents of West Suffolk a favour and stand down."
