Last but not least: British journalists as undercover investigators
Shrewd British journalists have once again succeeded in uncovering the government's dark secrets. Their investigation focused not only on the machinations of politicians, but also on the security system surrounding Queen Elizabeth.
Clever British journalists have once again succeeded in uncovering the secret machinations of their parliamentarians. A report in the Sunday Telegraph newspaper revealed that several MPs not only claimed allowances for their main residence, but also financed their second home with money from the state coffers. This was on the grounds that family members were allegedly working for them there. One politician, for example, claimed to employ his son as a researcher. Unfortunately, there was no evidence of his work.
However, the investigative journalists did not just target the politicians. The royal family was also targeted. Two employees of a British tabloid managed to take a seat in the Queen's Bentley in exchange for a bribe of the equivalent of 1,700 francs. The job of a British investigative journalist involves not only keeping an eye on politicians, but also uncovering security flaws in the royals' home and looking after Queen Elizabeth's well-being.
