Shame

Rupa Gulab

Whenever politicians are caught doing something wrong, they are rarely arrested. Instead, the government sternly orders a probe, hoping against hope that we (i.e. ordinary citizens) will die at a ripe old age before the probe report is completed. That way, corrupt and/or murderous politicians get away scot free, but of course. 

Such a shame that the whole thing is a sham - they all have to protect each other because one arrested aggrieved politician will vengefully open several cans of worms by spilling the beans on all the rest. I'm pretty certain that some of them have pictures of each other stark naked - or at least, possess solid proof of shocking, unsavoury acts. Anyway, since pointless probes appear to be the order of the day, I have some probing questions that beg to be answered as well.
