There is an annual anti-corruption index printed comparing countries around the world. The UK is always in the top 20 - however the least corrupt places i.e. number 1 are always one of the Nordic countries.

I suggest you stop taking the drugs as they are making you paranoid.

[amcdonald]

Just because you're not paranoid, doesn't mean they're not out to get you

The UK is one of the least corrupt countries in the world.

I hate to admit it, but I agree with Dodgy. There might be some room for improvement (or perhaps not, as many posited ideas of social perfection are impossible when properly analysed) but in the grand scheme of things we have one of the least corrupt systems.

Where it lacks knowledge it will make it up.

I hate to admit it, but I agree with Dodgy again

I don't think it is corrupt but I'll say otherwise for a box of half decent wine.

Council tendering is rampant with corruption, back handers, mates firms winning bids and so on. Investment agencies as well.

I don't think it is corrupt but I'll say otherwise for a box of half decent wine.

I'd prefer half a box of decent wine.

I tend to ageee with Op, we're just as corrupt as everyone else as it's human nature. We're just better at pretending not to be. Remember the MP who claimed 20k for moat clearance? He thought that was perfectly acceptable as the system he was involved in, the UK government, made it perfectly acceptable. It was only the media and the public outcry that had any effect. Now they're just better at hiding their crimes.
If the government are so blasé about it, why should anyone else be different? At least in Africa they're openly corrupt!
