The UK Government has stopped court cases investigating corruption, as was the case with a Saudi arms deal. There’s the never ending corruption around members of the royal family selling influence to foreign elements, particularly from the Arabian Gulf but also former Soviet states. There’s the fact London has been the money laundering capital of the world for much of my life, this money has been used to influence politicians to turn a blind eye or even advocate for blatantly corrupt and abusive regimes - Tony Blair, a former head of government, is the best of example of such. He has spent at least a decade “advising” criminal regimes elsewhere on how to massage their images.
