The UK follows a policy of ignoring its problem. The opportunistic profiteerers will of course have a “its the public interest, honest” nonsense to fall back on (with New Labour whores able to bogusly crow “its about jobs, guv”). This was made even more obvious with BAE, where the Saudis introduced a nice slice of blackmail to discourage the legal process. However, the fight against welfare-harming corruption requires constant attention. We haven't seen any such action in the UK. Britain provides too little resource in investigating the problem and has adopted only a shallow level of support for the OECD anti-bribery convention.

Whatever... live in a world of theories that cant work in the real world. Seems to me you are anti anything and critical of everything.

I'm certainly critical of our arms industry. It is every decent person's duty to join CAAT and fight against the arms trade destructiveness (for both our economy and for foreign populations that fall victim of the corruption)

Give me a freaking break. Not everything revolves around the UK.

Certainly the case! It is your prerogative not to give a toss about the welfare of the British peoples.
