England is a large laundry room in the world. They remain the same pirate ever.

More sickening evidence of the power of the 'City' of London and the inability/unwillingness of British political elite to clamp down on tax evasion and money laundering.

@1, 2. So much better than the slugs of latam. A tiny little BRITISH archipelago is more trusted than two so-called emerging “nations”. And the reaction? “It's not fair. They are better than us”. I wonder how these murderers and rapists would justify actions against Virgins? And is India still “considering”? Or is it wondering whether calling UK foreign aid “peanuts” was a good idea?

This says more about the places that money is not being invested, than where it is. If a country wishes to attract investment, or keep money that is already in the country there, it cannot continue to tax away so much of the profit from business, regulate until it's more trouble and expense to do business, than it's worth, or provide an unstable and unpredictable situation, where no one knows what will be permitted, or required tomorrow. Governments are driving business out of their countries through high taxes and bad law; they need to change their policies, not chase people around the world, trying to extract taxes from them.
