On the face of it it looks like money laundering with the implicit agreement of the UK Govt.
I may be wrong of course, but probably not by muchâŠ

Oh, it was para one of your post I was referring to Baz.
It was rhetorical, theyâinvest where they could clean money,donât get me wrong London is a corrupt shithole as well and what has this Country gained since we stopped making things and become a service industry? If money is gained corruptly itâll have to be cleaned corruptly.
After this its in a pretty much stable economy, invest in flats and never live there,similar to the wealthy Chinese, Taiwanese etc etc
Have you ever actually interacted with Russians Barry? At work or sociably?
If you had then youâd know have daft your first line is.
EVERY Russian passport holder I have met or interacted with is aware deep down that Russia could slip back to the dark days in the blink of an eye. While the Communist Party has gone, it has been replaced by the âwealthy eliteâ (ie mafia) and the minions are still at the bottom of the pile.
The motivation to invest outside of Russia or to join a Multi-National is so that they can firstly get Residency outside of Russia and then find a way to qualify for Citizenship and a passport.
Every facet of the âState Systemâ makes life difficult for the Russians, renewing passports, National ID cards, âSocial Securityâ are all thereto remind âthe peopleâ of their place.
The retort is âbut there is a wealthy middle classâ the answer is that they are only wealthy due to privilege or they knew the right person to bribe.
Yes I have and do know, your point is? I donât disagree by the way.
Yeah spend budget.
Build football stadiums.
Mike Harding, in his book âThe Armchair Anarchistâs Almanacâ, reckoned you should invite them in, nip out the back, and tell the coppers youâre being burgled.
Has anyone else noticed that the JWâs seem to be on a charm offensive. Everywhere.
I first noticed them with a little stand with of leaflets by Bank tube station a few months back. Now theyâre everywhere I look I the City. Theyâve even made it out to Cobham âŠ
Strange thing is that I donât ever recall seeing anyone talking to them.
Scary.
I would gladly ban them from our road / village / county / etc
8.00am one Sunday morning
JW: âitâs so nice to see someone up early on a Sunday morningâ
Hungover CB âNo thanks to some cunt who just rang my doorbellâ
If you want to get rid of JWâs, forever, just tell them youâve been disfellowshipped.
Theyll never trouble you again.
Or just answer the door with your knob out
That tends to work with charity canvassers too. It may well work with political canvassers in the next few weeks as well - may try it.
Why is this in the Russia thread?
Or if you really want to trouble them tell them you are in the Fellowship and want to see there rings.
I havenât a clue.
Quoting for posterity.
