War in Ukraine

I think there is ample scope for the examination of foreign criminal money in London......But that is all of it....Not just Russian.

Same for all the successful financial centres around the world.

Thing is, I'm well aware that without the tax take from that neoliberal criminal global money honey, we can't pay for all the boomer's pensions and our NHS.

Most normies just haven't got a clue....and in truth would prefer not to know.

As you say the City is a haven for dodgy money.

There are almost certainly far worse examples than the likes of Abramovich, who incidentally passed the 'Fit and Proper Person' test.
Many of us will have attended away games at Stamford Bridge and put money in his coffers.
But he is now apparently so irredeemably awful he deserves to be robbed.
Make it make sense!

Anyone objective can see what's gone on here.

Now, let's not get me wrong, I'd have Trump over Biden or Harris any day of the week.....But Trump attacking Venezuela and previously trying to pretend it was about the drugs trade was just pure lying.....Everyone knows that Mexico and Columbia and China are far more responsible for America's drug problems (not least intel involvement in the past).

No, it's taking money from your enemies and turning a blind eye to the dirty money of your friends.....or enemies you'd rather not target because the price paid would be greater.

It's as old as the hills.

So with Abramovich, they were happy with him up until Putin invaded in 2022 and now all of a sudden that money is unethical?

London is awash with criminal money and they don't give a feck but because the media don't do their job no one gives a damn.....one hand washes the other.

Totally agree.

The failure of moralism in place of realism.....standing in individual riches while taking decisions that make your populations poorer.

Putting a 90 billion loan to Ukraine reserved onto the European taxpayer, while the war has likely less than a year to go.

The taxpayer once against raped by rich elite social liberals.

I doubt it, the test came in in 2004, and Ken Bates had sold Chelsea by then.

Al Fared running Harrods and then Fulham......was another very obvious example.

The media made great hay when it was convenient to tear Al Fayed down with all the dodgy dealings and rape accusations......all of which could have been made public years before.

But what about the people who took Fayed's money? The selling of Harrods to a dodgy Egyptian shipping magnet when it was family silver? What about those who overlooked it all?

All ignored....because....look they want you to look at the symptoms and not the causes....not how we got here.

Al Fayed always wanted publicity, but for every Fayed there are numerous other examples of power brokers defiling London who you have never heard of.

Bloody funny 🤣

The effective EU sanctions have:

Put up petrol prices
Put up gas prices
Put up electricity prices
Put up the cost of living.
Made us less safe from Russian attack.

Or are these useful lies for the elites to put more rigorous constraints on the population and steal more money in taxes ?
