[Sir Tigger KC]

Spain has some great examples of corruption that everyone knows about.

Mr Rato(former Bankia chairman) and the missing millions at Bankia, the bank now being bailed out by EU money.

Most councils that cashed in in every respect on the recent housing boom. You want to build a house. Fine how much will it cost , pay us 3% of the total cost for legal permission and off you go. Don't worry that it is in a protected area or or rural land Mr contractor here pay us some more money in an envelope and it will be fine. Now the Andaliucia county council come along and say thousands (maybe 50,000) homes are illegal and have to come down. Of course no one has the time or money to pursue this through the courts though they did famously knock the Priors house down so there is an uneasy truce except the owners cannot ever sell. As to the Priors, well they have won a court case for compensation BUT the mayor is no longer the mayor and in any case is bankrupt. I wonder if any of the 1000's of officials involved in that corruption sleep at night?     

Very soundly I expect!    The old saying " I slept like a bastard last night " rings true....

I'm sure one or 2 here will think I'm corrupt (more accurately, unfair on the way I treat some). So where are my brown envelopes?
