Britain Is The Most Corrupt Country In The World, Claims Mafia Expert by anetuno(m): 10:43pm On May 29, 2016 |
'It’s not the bureaucracy, it’s not the police, it’s not the politics but what is corrupt is the financial capital' Britain is the most corrupt country in the world, according to journalist Roberto Saviano, who spent more than a decade exposing the criminal dealings of the Italian Mafia . Mr Saviano, who wrote the best-selling exposés Gomorrah and ZeroZeroZero , made the comments at the Hay Literary Festival . The 36-year-old has been living under police protection since publishing revelations about members of the Camorra, a powerful Neapolitan branch of the mafia, in 2006. He told an audience at Hay-on-Wye: “If I asked you what is the most corrupt place on Earth you might tell me well it’s Afghanistan, maybe Greece, Nigeria, the South of Italy and I will tell you it’s the UK. “It’s not the bureaucracy, it’s not the police, it’s not the politics but what is corrupt is the financial capital. 90 per cent of the owners of capital in London have their headquarters offshore. “Jersey and the Cayman’s are the access gates to criminal capital in Europe and the UK is the country that allows it. That is why it is important why it is so crucial for me to be here today and to talk to you because I want to tell you , this is about you, this is about your life, this is about your government.” Prime minister David Cameron faced growing calls for the UK to reform the offshore tax havens operating on its own Crown Dependencies and Overseas Territories, as Britain hosted an Anti-Corruption Summit earlier this month. The UK ranked 10th in Transparency International’s Corruption Perceptions Index 2015 , which measures the perceived levels of public sector corruption worldwide. Mr Saviano also weighed in on the EU referendum debate, arguing a vote to leave would make the UK even more exposed to the organised crime.

Nigeria has more mineral resources than UK but Nigeria is still within a far distance below Britain in every angle except corruption which makes Nigeria hundred miles above Britain in terms of corruption,sir.iam sure PDP nd ipob paid you to come up with this shiet,so that buhari head will be demanded for sacrifice for agreeing with david Cameron that Nigeria is pathetically corrupt.. |

Please corrupt Nigeria for us and let us be as developed as Britain. We are begging the British to teach us how to be this corrupt so we have a 24-7 power supply, super metro, good roads, walkways, bike ways, side walks, public parks, clean air, clean water, security, inland water ways transport and recreation, etc. Dear Britain, please teach us how to be corrupt like you. |
