There are holders of high
public office and high positions in companies and other organisations who have behaved
unethically, even outrageously, in ways which make it appear likely that
they have been motivated by desires to help cronies.
Cronyism
is probably very common worldwide.
The
purpose of cronies.org.uk
is to give people reliable information about harm probably caused by
cronyism, to enable them to better protect themselves from it and to combat
it, especially at the ballot box and by using their powers as customers and investors.
It is non-profit making.
No member of any political party is, or has ever been, involved in any aspect of its production or operation.
It quotes opinions but does
not express opinions itself. In
particular, it shows titles (eg "The Rt Hon" and "Lord Justice") but
expresses no opinion that any title has or has not been reasonably
awarded on the basis of evidence of some kind of merit, or that it does
or does not accurately describe the conduct of the person concerned.
Some titles are instruments of propaganda. For example, the
former President of Pakistan, Pervez Musharraf, who was responsible for
dreadful, well documented, human rights abuses, had a "Minister of Law,
Justice and Human Rights" (Mr Muhammad Wasi Zafar).
Cronyism is
defined thus:
Willingness
to commit unethical acts and/or omissions for the benefit of one or more
others, motivated by hope of one or more favours in return and/or by
misguided loyalty.
Articles in cronies.org.uk
refer to people as Mr A, Mr B etc., to protect their
privacy. The letters A, B, C, etc., are not, except coincidentally,
the people's initials; they only indicate, alphabetically, the order in
which the abbreviated names have been added to cronies.org.uk.
