I struggle to condemn Putin too much. I mean they are willing to get their hands dirty, and Putin is undoubtedly keen on meddling in world affairs for betterment of his country. I don't think there is much doubt in that. I think they are also willing to cross this imaginary line that the likes of May seem to want to draw. Yet we know for a fact our own government is knee deep in corruption. I mean who is assisting all these Russian oligarch to wash their dirty money? We are. They've known about this corruption and money laundering for years and done jack ****. I wonder why that is, paying the right people perhaps? We even let them run football clubs...
Who allows all these massive corporations tax breaks? I wonder why that is, paying the right people perhaps? Supporting the right election campaign?
Who involved themselves in the corrupt practices of the Saudis in order to secure arms deals? We did. Plenty got slaughtered as a result of those deals, but its ok because its indirect involvement.
I mean we are quite happy to turn a blind eye to atrocities and human rights abuses world wide as long as they line our pockets.
The upper echelons of our government is still a closed shop which only a permitted few are allowed to influence. Our own Royal Family is as corrupt as they come and got their wealth through dubious means. We wouldn't dream of addressing that.
We shouldn't go ****ting outside everyone else's house, and not expect the odd person to take a **** outside of our own.
Sadly the world has been corrupted no end as far as I can see, and our country is as guilty as any of the others.
The world cup was bought, as was the Qatari one. What has anyone actually done about it? Which country worldwide has taken a stand? I mean they all murmur about it and privately say how dubious it looks. No one is willing to rock the boat and I'm sure its because half of those involved have their own little dirty secrets to hide. The Russians are no doubt bending the rules on doping. I also have no doubt others do too. The Americans have never been against bending the rules have they? I'm pretty sure they have sophisticated development to dupe and stay of the testing system. Lance Armstrong, Marion Jones, BALCO, Trevor Graham. I mean you can look suspiciously at our own recent champions Wiggins and Froome.
