Thank goodness for people like her exposing this corruption.
I am a Sierra Leonean,u are telling the truth
So eloquent. Beautifully and powerfully said.
It's just vague activist twaddle read out from a website, the origins of which she doesn't know or care to know.
Saving humanity, one step at the time. These giant thieves needs to face justice.
They may have, but the same convinced many to leave the Euro zone.
She is telling us how UK is assist Nigerian to be corrupt.
I'm reading Kleptocracy and was beginning to think that it all couldn't be true. This confirms it. Wow!
I think we need more of this, considering the political climate. BRING THIS SPEAKER BACK TO TED. 💚🙏
I imagine the 12 people who gave a thumbs down are reaping some of the corrupt money.
Religion is corrupt as well - Heaven cannot be Earned, the only way to get in is if you are well-connected. Exactly how things get done in Corrupt countries - jobs, promotions, contracts go not to the most qualified but to the least qualified but the most well connected
Corrupt religions dominate the world but we are totally blind to it
@@ramaraksha01 connected to whom? cuz idk what God you follow, but it's between you and Jesus, no one else
The politicians are getting cuts too. Otherwise, the laws would have already been changed.
Nice information to know the condition of London in terms of Corruption.
Anthea should be Prime Minister :)
WoW.!! I and the audience were absolutely spellbound.
Thanks for being so brave and honest.
There's a price for the good life we live at developed countries. It's deeply sad and troubling to come to the realization of the true.
All we can do is to understand that nobody is better or worse. We simply live different lives and it's up to us to make better for everyone by understanding what's really going on.
What great educated women.
You should take a look at what’s going on in Australia!!!
Another brave and smart lady. We need more of them. Maybe we canelect ladies like them. Maybe that's what we need.
THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT WE NEED, BUT WILL WE? WE ELECT THE SAME OLD SAME OLD CORRUPT POLITIONS NOTHING WILL CHANGE UNTIL WE DUMP THEM ALL OUT OF THE COASY CARTELL
Have you ever seen how women treat each other? You must be mad or naive
Thank you
Such a sad look to her, total sweetheart being dragged into sharing a bit of reality - Being around corruption stains your heart and you become captive of the "Lack Matrix"
Exactly - business as usual, that's why it's important to do something you love and pursue excellence
Truly courageous work mam- hats off! All the more because it is your very own you are exposing- God bless you and your ilk!
Good job!
Corrupt not only in London but in all countries worldwide . When we travel we come to know them.
am not surprised we all know that.
Bola Oniyelu OK
I wish "we" all did......
Modern colonialism
To be sure, quidproJoe puts the Brits to shame, to be sure, the most shameful of all is the US DOJ that refuses to prosecute....despicable!
WOW!!
Note that our developed society doesn't allow illegal corrupt practices.
In developed countries we have legalised corruption, so no one can get prosecuted.
It's one of the reasons working people can dream about buying a house 🏡 without moving 10 x times to get a better deal.
And others own 400 properties.
I say if you became successful and people working for you are the successful as you are , then you are doing well.
I’d like to say that it is not the banks job to ask where it’s customers got the money being deposited. Last week I went to my bank and deposited $900 in cash and the bank did not ask me where I got that money which is as it should be because it’s none of their business where I got that money. The truth is I had a yard sale and several items I sold were big ticket items like a full set of almost new rims and tires as well as a generator. Now here in the USA there’s a law that says if I either deposit or withdraw cash over a certain amount the bank has to fill out a certain form explaining where the cash either came from or where it’s going. It’s supposed to inhibit drug dealers and other criminals from depositing large sums of cash. All it really does is cause a big inconvenience for honest hard working tax paying people like me.
I don’t want my bank doing the job of law enforcement. I simply want my bank to engage in banking related activities and nothing else.
By the way the US government received payment from oil companies to drill in America and none of that money went to the poorest people in the land.
Interesting indeed lol
Follow ups? What became of the bill to disclose financial ownership of these deals?
11:03 oh no
The aid agencies are taking the diamonds 5:13
wouldn't transperant finances cause a negative effect on the stock matket?
What is amazing is that religions use the same corrupt tactics and even the brightest are totally blind to their tactics!
In Corrupt countries the best resume does not get you the job, the best product does not get you the contract - wait buddy, you have to go thru us - either you pay or must have the right connections to get what you want
Religions say the same thing - you could be the greatest person in the world - a Gandhiji, a Buddha but wait buddy, you have to go thru us - only our God can get you Heaven, so first you must convert
Works do not matter - all you have done in your life does not matter
The only thing that matters is religion
Just like the Corrupt people rig the system, religions also use the lure of Heaven to push conversions
Corrupt religions dominate the world!
They dominate because the moral, ethical, educated seem totally brainwashed by religion
again folks - we ALL KNOW and NOTHING CHANGES - Do you know why ? YOUR BELIEF THAT YOU HAVE NO POWER" and you BELIEVE IT!!!! Change the way you think and see what happens
The very same thing is going on in Canada
Why a fine for such terrible crimes? Why has no one gone to prison? It really does say that corruption is reality. Piecemeal responses when exposed to make it seem like somebody up there cares??!! Let us not pretend the courts represent the people or Justice.
Here's a radical idea...
instead of fining the shareholders of those companies... why not jail the perpetrators?
Maybe then they would stop?
Unite against corruption 🙂🙂🙏
788 finchley road
With the queen
They are all there
This is an old and global story. Corruption happens where there are corruptible people. No county has a monopoly on those.
Profiting from foreign resources by bribing local rulers is a tradition in the "civilised" west.
What Britain needs is a French Revolution! Start setting up the guillotines.
Bribery and Corruption the hallmark of Westminster
The Vatican is an enormous property buyer in London, all those humanity projects their doing and that, real estate investing.
It happened in america " the articles of incorporation " .
This is the same story for Angola, re: the de Santos brat. It was diamonds and oil that fueled over thirty years of civil war that claimed millions of lives. Also Zimbabwe who's economy is unique in that it completely collapsed while at the same time video of Mugabe's sons pouring champagne on their rolexes to test water resistants. They all own property in London. While the people literally starve to death.
thanks for being there to expose these greedy jackasses
I’ve been stating that Brexit was a way to avoid the transperancy rules that would have made this more difficult. Johnson any Farange are very corrupt.
Nigerian officials are the ones to blame , no body told them to deal with corrupt outsiders
You are not intelligent enough to understand how this all works
You are not intelligent enough to understand how it works
Go and read the "Confessions of an Economic Hit Man" by John Perkins, then you'll understand better...
And if you can not be bothered to read confessions of an economic hitman watch the documentary on RUclips
1:52 uh oh.
HSBC ... Hong Kong Shanghai bank? ...
Please help me Anthea Lawson . I am in the middle of this very situation.
This woman was born with a mission. Shhhh and listen.
CORRUPTION MUST BE "CONTROLLED" ONLY BY FORCE! War and Underground Armies that are Trained in Anti-Corruption and MUST be able to have ACCESS to Weapons......TO ENFORCE Anti-Corruption....
29 thumbs down so far i c
must b veri worried hearing this truth...
r they human?
Everyone hates corruption unless they're the beneficiary of course. Then its not such a big deal
Doesn’t Her Majesty set the moral tone for her country? If not her, then who?
Laws
For corruption
Global Corruption Inc: Washington: Division of military suppression. Rome: Division of psycho-spiritual suppression. City of London: The Ssssssssiphon. Jerusalem: new corporate headquarters.
Much of this was done under Boris's watch as Mayor. Is his next project the rest of the UK?
Well said but what do you suggest about Palestine and other Muslim countries that are suffering? Do rich countries even common people not benefit from the persecution of those who are being oppressed after all war also can be corrupt. Common folk get paid to destroy innocent peoples reputation just so the system can make something out of it true or false?
Karma as much applies to a country as it does too a person. The wheel turns and eventually the wrongs will right it self. The people of Briton enjoy a life on the back of exploiting the world, the time will come when they will have to face that truth
The People of Britain are not one United people.
I blew the whistle on corruption but the same lawyers are experts in defending corporate crime. White collar( corporate) crime isn't prosecuted because it's career suicide, and politicians are mostly lawyers and corporate 'leaders' who write the laws with a bias of getting more money for themselves and tricking the voting public that they've voted for these laws...Nightmare
God will deal with all of us
🙏
And this is just an example with only one country.
Globalised companies such as law firms have branches in different continents and different parts of the country: so the HQ of a law firm could be in London, then satellite branches elsewhere like Cambridgeshire, UK. If you sue one dishonest lawyer in London, they get their colleagues at the branch in Cambridgeshire to defend them! Lawyers should be struck off for dishonesty in quasi- and other courts. Quasi courts such as healthcare regulators do not have to comply with court rules, so they don't...the lawyers love working in quasi courts because they look like courts so they get to practise their skills as though it were a court, but without the responsibilities to a real court, such as duty not to mislead the court. The system is fixed against the 'defendants' at every stage of legal proceedings
She seems to be unwittingly standing on the tip of an iceberg.
Britain is and virtually always has been, governed by its unique form of capitalism, "Gentlemanly Capitalism". This is a system that serves the philosophy of the rich; rule (laws) by the rich for the rich.
For a more indepth view, check out guys like Will Huttons book, "The State We're In ", Oliver Bullough's Book," Money Land ",etc, etc.....
Which London is she talking about, the city of London or the special Bankers paradise thats not actually part of London but is also called London?
Flock to brexir
The world capital, wtf ? I would says New York eh. The empire is gone sweety.
But, her Londonstan is not the same anymore.
Burn Eton College first
If it is not succesfully done in London , it would be done elsewhere and the prosperity of London will be gone
What has any of this got to do with London that you couldn't say of any other capital city?
It sounds like a rich stay-at-home activist mom who reads out glib activist twaddle from websites the origin of which she doesn't know and doesn't have the imagination to consider... I bet she has NO IDEA who is either paying or writing her company's narrative...
Ñatural Weekes killer
Vote for Bernie for POTUS.
A woman just stand there and start accusing London's corruption and RUclips post the conferences so freely??? something stink! People open your eyes...They are promoting something subtly.
It was hard for me to listen because of all the spit
She's an idealist fighting a losing battle. She should concentrate on changing careers like being a baker or a homemaker. Nothing you could do lady.. You're just embarrassing yourself
