It simply cannot be denied that, following the 1998 OECD anti-bribery convention, we've fallen further behind in our failure to control bribery. Compared to the numerous prosecutions elsewhere in Europe, the Brits have managed the sum of zero. Given your Europhiling status, it strikes me as most amusing how prepared you are to accept the British "ignore it and hope no one notices" stance.

Like it or not its the price of doing buisness.. and yes its economically harmfull on paper and all those theories you like to spout out.. but its a fact of life, and it aint gonna change.

The British arms industry is harmful. It reduces Britain's economic growth. There is agreement from a variety of empirical analysis: from Keynesian modeling to endogeneous growth analysis. That New Labour have been prepared to allow the profiteering to go unhindered is dreadful. That they have been encouraged to do it because of corporate bribery infecting their government makes it despicable
You don't seem to mind that its the British people suffering because of this criminal behaviour. But hey, there's no reason for you to care...
