Mr. Brightside Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 This was a classic case of a politician getting into trouble for telling the truth. Nigeria and Afghanistan are fantastically corrupt countries. As is the United Kingdom. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bishop Briggs Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 As is the United Kingdom. Supply evidence to support that claim from reputable sources, e.g. WTO, IMF, etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As bad as Nigeria and Afghanistan with their appalling human rights records? Do you consider stoning "adulterers" and kidnapping teenagers acceptable?

Granny Danger Posted May 10, 2016 Author Share Posted May 10, 2016 I don't think corruption in the UK is as bad as it is in Nigeria or Afghanistan. However 1. there are other countries that are as equally corrupt, and 2. our governments (present and past) are quite willing to ignore such corruption when it suits them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quid pro quo, all perfectly legal but corrupt as fcuk. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Master Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 So the Lords are going to show us all how wonderfully democratic they are by electing a new speaker after the summer break. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-36265709 Then there's Lady Garden, a Lib Dem. She's likely to fall victim to the tribal prejudice that few Labour or Tory peers could ever bring themselves to vote for someone from her party. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
