The UK currently ranks 11 on the world corruption index.

I think the DRC counts.

Swellen has done a good job of explaining the understand in this thread.

I think maybe you were confused between the time between the reporting on 19 February from the court and the formal order/declaration being published?

No, I needed some research doing so decided that Cunningham's Law would help. It is a tactic that works particularly well in Business / Contracts when NLUK will hop in. One has to be full-on ridiculous to elicit a more detailed response than "Have you asked your accountant?", but if you enrage him enough he's an incredible resource. Overdo it and he will call you out for being ridiculous so there is an art to it, like making a souffle.

Thanks for the help wonderful Ladymuck. I will write you a reference at any time.

I read hysteria about nurses pay rises and think what are they hiding?

And realise like racism and sexism which isn't now open in government and society, British corruption is the same.

Yup.

Pity it seems to have peaked in 2017 and been dropping since.

It will be inneresting to see how the cronyism of the current regime improves things.

When you don't see a high court ruling like this in any of the papers.

2021.05.03 - [NRN] - GLP Order 2.pdf - Google Drive

The three claimants being a belly aching labour MP, a moaning Green MP, and a whining Lib Dem MP.
