Dirty Politics - Dirty John?

If films and TV have taught us nothing else it is that Politics is a dirty business. Why then was I hypnotised by this film from John Walsh that looks at an English General Election in the north part of the country where it is the poorest? When this kicked off I thought it might be a pseudo docu spoof. It is funny for sure, but it is also timely, yet this was filmed way back in 2010. Walsh is a likeable guy from the world of film and TV. He hit the election trail with a guy who might be his boyfriend, a sexy lad also called John. There does seem to be a bit of sexual tension or energy here, or both. FYI the other John has a 'girlfriend' who comes to visit. Beard anyone???? Anyway the plot is about a scandal that is to do with the sitting politician who has been there for 30 years and is off the sale bad. Think Richard Nixon with an addition to rape porn!!! Watch this, learn from it and pass it on please. I saw it on Prime Video but it may also be on DVD and other formats.
