Lawmakers, Lawbreakers
When politicians get caught committing crimes, it's like watching a toddler deny eating chocolate with their entire face smeared in it. There they are, standing in front of a podium, sweat glistening under the lights, swearing they “had no idea” that embezzling millions and hiding it in a fake charity called “Save the Puppies Foundation” was wrong. Their excuse? “I was hacked,” “It’s a smear campaign,” or the classic, “This is all news to me,” as if their signature didn’t appear on every shady document like a kid writing their name on the wall with permanent marker. And yet, despite overwhelming evidence, they strut back into office like nothing happened—because in politics, apparently, crime pays... and also gets you a book deal and a Netflix docuseries.
Warwickshire Warns: Fake QR Codes Emerge on Parking Signs, Directing Drivers to Fraudulent Website
- Friday, 25 April 2025
Fake QR codes appeared on parking signs in Warwick and Kenilworth, directing drivers to a fraudulent website for payment. Warwickshire District Council removed the stickers and alerted community wardens and CCTV teams. RingGo, the parking app provider, warned users that they do not use QR codes on their signs and urged people to report any suspected scam codes to local authorities. Residents suggested abandoning parking apps and returning to cash machines, but the council will continue to operate ticket machines in off-street car parks.
