      Some years ago, the head of the Serious Fraud Office - which is the only part of the Judiciary which investigates and prosecutes Corruption - openly said that they only had enough funds to prosecute “a single large case per year”.

      The Serious Fraud Office has pretty much continuously seen their funding fall in real terms, both during Tory and New Labour governments since almost Thatcher’s days , though I remember some years ago, only one time, the Tories actually increased their real terms funding.

      Obviously, there is no Corruption in Britain because there Corruption is de facto not investigated, much less prosecuted, so nobody is ever convicted of it, thus there is officially no Corruption the UK, plus thanks to the insane overbroad Defamation Legislation in the UK (made insane and overbroad by none other than Gordon Brown), if you accuse anybody of it in Britain you’re the one who can end up punished since nobody can be said to be corrupt unless convicted of Corruption (which, as I said, is something both Tories and New Labour made sure never happens by defunding the SFO)

      The funny bit is that still now there are a lot of Britons who think their country isn’t heavilly Corrupt.
