I’m not British. There are many things that I admire about the United Kingdom.

This is the nation that produced Agatha Christie, Jane Austen, George Orwell, JK Rowling, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Elton John, David Attenborough. Led Zeppelin, Aldous Huxley, JRR Tolkien.

But the one thing that disturbs me is the unbelievable level of corruption.

In Britain, political parties can raise millions of pounds from one single individual. Private corporations, including foreign corporations, are allowed to give large amounts of money to political parties. Several members of the UK parliament currently work as consultants and lawyers for large corporations such as Thames Water or HSBC. This is all legal.

Compare this to France.

In France, no individual is allowed to give more than 7000 pounds to a political party. Corporations are banned from giving money to political parties. Members of parliament are all banned from having second-jobs. And if you break these rules, an independent agency (HATVP) has the power to criminally prosecute you.

Why did France pass these tough rules ? Huge corruption scandals

France had one President (Nicolas Sarkozy) sell access to his donors

We also had one powerful MP (Francois Fillon) taking a second-job as a lavishly paid consultant for huge corporations

When the French media revealed these scandals, the French political class was so embarrassed that it actually forced them to take action.

The British had similar corruption scandals.

David Cameron was caught selling access to Downing Street in exchange of money:

Boris Johnson was also caught selling access to Downing Street in exchange of money:

Yet the British political class did… absolutely nothing !!! No reform…

Similar scandals have led to completely different legislative outcomes.

In Britain, the rot runs deep.

Unfortunately, there are millions of dumb people who are still kissing his ass.

Who would trust a deal with Donald Trump?

Mexico and Canada signed a huge trade deal with him in 2018, during his first term.

Trump signs new trade pact with Canada, Mexico leaders

“It’s been long and hard. We’ve taken a lot of barbs and a little abuse, but we got there” Trump said

👉 https://www.bbc.com/news/business-46402977

Trump is reelected and suddenly he throws away everything he signed.

Who would trust this man? The Iranian leaders are less crazy than him.

The american elite managed to convince ordinary americans that evil foreigners are to blame for all their problems. This is something you notice if you follow US media.

They are just whining about how China, Europe, Mexico, Canada, the World Health Organization has been super unfair to them. Even Africa is blamed !

It’s complete non-sense.

• Lack of healthcare : Barack Obama tried a small improvement with his Affordable Healthcare Act. He faced unprecedented hatred. People accused him of being “radical communist”. He had to beg Congress members to pass the bill.

• Drugs : One criminal family, the Sacklers, bribed doctors and dentists to overprescribe oxicotyn. The FDA didn’t act until it was too late. The result was an unprecedented opioid crisis that quickly turned into a heroin crisis. Prosecutors refuse to prosecute the Sackler family.

• Bad infrastructure : George W. Bush spent $1 trillion dollar on the Irak war. Okay. What exactly did he get in return…? Are americans better off? Are Irakis better off? Contractors just swallowed the cash. China used their money to build a world class high speed train network.

• Gun violence : Well, they sell guns like candies. Any 18 year old psycho can easily purchase a gun and shoot up the local school or movie theater.

• Lack of affordable housing : American zoning rules prevent high density housing from being built. Look at San Francisco or LA. Individual houses but people are struggling to get a roof over their head.

Their problems are all caused by americans.

But unfortunately, many of them now think the rest of the world is to blame.
