    Hello

    Tens of millions of pounds of British taxpayers’ money was used to fund terrorists including the 7/7 London bombing network and Osama bin Laden through a UK-based scam that spanned two decades.

    A two-year investigation by The Sunday Times revealed that a network of British Asians stole billions of pounds of public money through VAT and benefit fraud, topping up their gains with mortgage and credit card fraud.

    The positive thing is that some people put some light on those events.

    The negative thing is that apparently the UK is becoming more and more a failing state and collapsing until it's whole "diversity" policy.
    How many thousand of people died because of the laxism, the indulgence and the ineptitude of the british government ?

    The west went full degenerate.

    Seriously? I'm not surprised. It says a lot about skills and competence of MI5 and MI6 can do ... and about Scotland Yard too.

    Not that that happened in my country same way, too. Only with us that was already determined 3 years ago by the authorities and also reported in the media ... and massive measures were started that had inflicted considerable damage on these Islamists swamp.
    And as far as I know, our Federal Criminal Police Office has informed the authorities of other countries, including the UK, and shared the findings.

    So it is really strange, if the whole thing 3 years later suddenly in the UK is an issue ... Was there a long time sleeping in the UK about?
    And as far as I know, the medias share often infromations too between countries ... so why did British Journalists not share this information in 2016 or 2017 and only now?

    The paucity of reporting on the case is understood to be a result of officials’ intentions to ensnare gang leaders in their investigation. Various kingpins have fled the UK since the first trial, before they could be arrested.
    According to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), nothing can be reported until they return to the UK to face trial – a condition that has some members of the legal community are crying foul. The CPS declined to comment further on Sunday night.


    Fair enough. Who could possibly not want the leaders to face justice?
