Snouts out of the trough, The City of London

US court fines HSBC for money laundering for drug cartels.

The BBC puts people on Radio 4 claiming the the City is a money laundering operation where hundreds of billions of, for example, Libyan money has been lost.

US courts fine GlaxoSmithKlein $3bn for pushing antidepressants on children.

All the money spinning schemes of the UKs pig elite are being hammered just now. Does it make you wonder where they will be sticking their snouts in the future?

Who says there is a conspiracy against the people when the newspapers, the idle MPs, the City of London, and just about any other evil thing is being revealed like insects under a stone?

The conspiracy is Jason,
Why is nothing done about these insects under a stone?

We are the insects, of course.

We probably require a return to ethical behaviour. This requires religion, the cane, capital punishment, an ideology which overtly claims that 'good' people are also superior.

These measures are unpalatable - except to the moronically good people who cannot help being Good. Such people exist, but they are few.

So, I think that it is just as well to really crush the inept as often as possible, and I look forward to a general tearing up of the City of London - Even if for a time it impoverishes the United Kingdom.

The idea of those naked apes that work in the City, and that make it big in Big Business, being the summit of this society is very annoying to me.

Revolutions are cooked up in little bed sitting rooms by wierdos like Rousseu, Marx, Kant, and Heidegger. Meanwhile, Let us spray the roaches, and let us see the myopic eye and pale skin of the slimy things which have been hiding under protective foliage until 2008.

Well said Jason.

Who the hell marked your post as not adding to this subject???? Sheesh.. I can't get my breath!
I dispair at the level of some people.

Every major city relies on the inflow of capital. Economic theory is not an ethical trheory. Why be surprised? If the banks screw its regular customers, why do you think they have any moral objection to screwing drug dealers and tyrants?

Laundering money for drug dealers criminal, and for drug dealers uncriminal, is not 'screwing' them. Only Capitalist cities rely on the inflow of capital. The people getting screwed are the Russian people, the Libyan people, and US children, the British people.

What is it about this forum that attracts conspiracy theorists, like flies to manure?

Dear Wyan....what....?.....who....are the conspiracy theorists.....?...

Ryan is a nasty piece of work. Like a hunchback in a fairy story, or an old witch going around hurling curses on all and sundry. I think they call these people trolls, but trolls usually use pen names and have a sense of shame when they hurl their derisory insults.

Moly: They forget the Afghanistan poppy trade as well. Do not burn the poppy farms, you will alienate the population. Better to let heroin flow than upset the nationals we invaded for no reason, eh? Our kids lives are worth international politics...

Molly: I am not into hard drugs Despite what some may say) but as far as I know Lithium is mainly a medical product derived from the metals of the earth, not the flowers. As far as I know, lithium addiction is the result of being introduced to it via medical services, not by hanging around a street corner. Painkillers are freely available in your local supermarket, by the way..

Standard Chartered - another barbeque of roasted pig.

Again, what are the unemployed accountants and lawyers going to do when their pig pen is washed out like the Augean Stables by Hercules (the US)? Get real jobs? Become actual people?

United States legal officials could decimate the City of London. Obviously, UK government can do nothing and never do since the City is officially outside of the legal jurisdication of the United Kingdom. Perhaps the true name of the United Kingdom is something like

TUKOGBANIETCOL

or, The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland Excluding The City Of London

Why is it that all these billions in fines seem to always go to the USA? Quite a moneyspinner for them, but it doesn't seem fair from an international development perspective. Why can't authorities and regulators in other places (e.g. the city of London itself) step in and impose similar multibillion fines in their own juristictions thereby restricting the outflow of resources to what is already the wealthiest country on Earth?
