The nation is shocked as another conservative is accused of breaking the law to line his own pockets

The Gambling Commission is investigating a second Conservative election candidate for betting on the date of the general election, leaving the general public deeply shocked that someone in his position would consider breaking the law to line his own pockets.

“I’m shocked. Shocked, I tell you,” said voter Simon Williams.

“Such a beautiful, honest party, full of lovely, law-abiding people, and yet they continue to be accused of criminal activity? Why are the authorities coming after them?

“If this is not a form of sexual assault, or groups of them breaking lockdown restrictions, this is like using £200m of public funds for unnecessary PPE . Why can’t the authorities look the other way, just for a moment, and give us a few months without feeling like we’re being ruled by degenerate criminals?

Meanwhile, a Conservative spokesperson has spoken out to defend any illegal activities undertaken by their ranks, insisting voters should not be concerned.

They told us: “Of course, I understand that it seems bad that every time a conservative rises to a position of power, it seems that their first instinct is to ask themselves: ‘How can I take advantage of this opportunity to enrich myself personally” – but the reality is that these missteps often took literally minutes. Do you know how long an illegal bet at bookmakers lasts? Two minutes. Tops.

“The rest of the time they were all focused on what they were doing for you, the British people. So vote Conservative on July 4th.

“Please.”
