If my approach is pedestrian, yours could be described as baseless hysteria.
You continuously accuse people of crimes: steal, bribe, etc. However, upon
examination, no one has been charged, prosecuted or convicted of wrong doing in
these transactions, at least not as far as I can determine.
I will say to you what I say to my fellow countrymen, if you don't like how
things are being done, then run for office yourself. Vote the people you
dislike out of office, do something more productive than bloviate on Usenet.
As for creating jobs in the UK, I suspect if a UK company had stepped up to the
plate with a competent, competitive bid they would have gotten the job.
