How Putin’s Oligarchs Bought London

Nothing we didn't know already but a good read.

Invoking Dean Acheson’s famous observation, in 1962, that Britain had “lost an empire but not yet found a role,” Bullough suggests that it did find a role, as a no-questions-asked service provider to the crooked élite, offering access to capital markets, prime real estate, shopping at Harrods, and illustrious private schools, along with accountants for tax tricks, attorneys for legal squabbles, and “reputation managers” for inconvenient backstories. It starts with visas; any foreigner with adequate funds can buy one, by investing two million pounds in the U.K. (Ten million can buy you permanent residency.)

The UK version of Trump = Boris. Dude has no shame....literally broke his own law and dosen't resign. He loved the ukraine war because it took attention away from his administration, but it caught up with him. Corrupt politician.

His cronies have gone from pretending he didn't do anything wrong to, "b-b-but he didn't break the law with malice"

Absolute clowns :scust:

Tories pretending they can't get rid of him as PM because of the war in Ukraine

Chamberlain was dumped as PM during WWII.. A war the UK was actually fighting in :russ:
