How Russia's war exposed the dark side of luxury London

Following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and resultant sanctions on President Putin's oligarch elite, a spotlight has been firmly cast on the British capital and its complicity as a store for dirty money. Now, the British government is seeking to salvage its reputation with a clampdown on corruption. But will it be successful? And just how will London fare without its fix of forbidden finance?

London property is literally a future-proof investment in case the rugs are pulled out from under them and they need to liquidate assets immediately. No one lives in any of the houses they own; all they are is the physical embodiment of a mountain of dirty cash.

    Yeah this report skimpt on a few details, but basically all of those houses or flats are owned by Oligarchs- people who got obscenely rich after being given heavy industry during the breakup of the soviet union. If you were lucky enough to be one of those people your networth started spiralling exponentially upwards overnight. Their problem is that their money is dirty and they need a place to store or launder INSANE amounts of it and London has long been a location to do just that because of the value of the city and the tax practises of territories we used to control. The British are undoubtedly giant hipocrites in these matters as you say. However as our atrocities have faded into history and trading became more honest in our country- you could say that we're highly specifically primed to identify when an individual person or company is trading their dirty money on our doorstep.

    Kristina do you approve of babies being raped in Ukraine and people being slaughtered by Putin's murderers? Your grasp of British history is quite poor. The Irish Kings invited in the Normans to settle internal disputes, from here the Kingdom of England and Ireland united. This moved on until Irish independence in the early 20th Century. During this time the reformation happened Europe wide and masses were slaughtered on both sides, Most of England and Southern Scotland became protestant whereas the Highlands of Scotland and Ireland remained catholic. From this schism the troubles arrived. It isn't comparable to say Stalin starving 5 million Ukrainians.....How's the price of Vodka?

    In America, holders of high office, generally become rich and their wealth reinforces their powerful place in government or as lobbyists. So the use of the word "oligarch" to evoke an alien, uniquely Russian baddie is disingenuous. This is a non-partisan comment so I won't name names. But if you've voted in an American election, you've probably voted for an oligarch.
