Please don't post to both [email protected] and [email protected] .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

Well she stole from a bank, so I suppose that's ok eh?

They specifically say that they do not know whether the bank concluded that the expenses were improper.

Quite the investigation, then, wasn't it?

OP is saying that she "stole" from the bank, and it seems that there is no evidence to say that she even fiddled her expenses.

Your comment implies that the BBC didn't bother to look for said evidence, but I'm not convinced. How do they even know that there was an investigation? It wouldn't be public information. Somebody inside the bank must have told them. Wouldn't that person also have told them what the outcome was?

For that matter, if the bank concluded that she'd been fiddling her expenses, wouldn't it have dismissed her?
