"Is it really hard to track ? How many people do the government employ to look for dirty money compared to the people they employ to investigate benefit cheats it begs the question WHY" Well benefit cheats are directly defrauding the UK taxpayer, whereas dirty money is private funds from overseas on which the UK may have no tax claims. | |||

"****Andrew Mitchell the UK’s deputy foreign secretary has said. Andrew Mitchell added the crown dependencies and overseas territories will face fresh demands from the Foreign Office to comply with UK laws setting up public registers of beneficial share ownership.**** " This statement from the government representative says that the government has already been chasing the crown dependencies and overseas territories to address the issue. But what else can the government do. By their very nature, these countries are self-governing. Do we invade?  | |||

"It's easier to track a benefit cheat as their paperwork goes through more than one government department. Also. HMRC are now connected to all the benefit outlets, so discrepancies show up more frequently, and they have the power to 'STOP' anything they are suspicious of. If a register list for overseas wealth doesn't operate, how can the government do anything - if they do not want to start a register, how can the government do anything? " ya hit the nail on the head there EASIER | |||

" The British government claim the the Virgin Islands are independent and yet the United Nations does not recognise this claim as we have a governor and have imposed political processes upon them to suit our agenda. We are also responsible for their security . We have been lied to by consecutive governments as party backers hide their cash in many U.K controlled locations. Parties don’t want to upset their paymasters . " aint that the truth there | |||

We are also responsible for their security . We have been lied to by consecutive governments as party backers hide their cash in many U.K controlled locations. Parties don’t want to upset their paymasters . " That is already in process . . . "The review said the BVI's constitution should be suspended and its government dissolved amid corruption concerns. But the foreign secretary will instead allow a new administration to implement reforms in the next two years. If they fail to meet targets, Liz Truss has taken new powers to make imposing direct rule easier. The former leader of the BVI, Andrew Fahie, was arrested in April for alleged drug smuggling and money laundering in the US. British Virgin Islands corruption inquiry launched The inquiry was commissioned in 2021 amid claims about corruption and misuse of taxpayers' money but was not directly connected to the arrest of Mr Fahie. Led by British judge Sir Gary Hickinbottom, the report, external described the state of governance in the BVI as "appallingly bad". He found that millions of dollars of state funds were spent each year by politicians and ministries without proper process, there was "serious dishonesty" relating to sales of public property, and there was widespread abuse of appointments. In his conclusions, Sir Gary called for a two-year suspension of the BVI constitution, cessation of the elected ministerial government and the imposition of direct rule by the UK. He also recommended reviews of the government's welfare payments, the sale of public land, and law enforcement on the islands. Outlining her reasons for not imposing direct rule on the BVI, Ms Truss pointed to changes that have been made since Sir Gary's report in April, including the removal of Mr Fahie from his role and the creation of a new government of national unity, which has begun criminal investigations. Ms Truss said she believed the BVI's new government should be given the opportunity to "demonstrate their commitment to reform" and implement the 48 recommendations made by Sir Gary and the further measures the administration has proposed. But she added: "If it becomes clear that this approach is not delivering the reform the people of the BVI want and deserve we will take action. This may require the swift implementation of the final report recommendation [imposing direct rule]." | |||
