Is that what Conor is saying or is that what Feisty is saying? ... who is hiding behind whom now?

Or is this your trolling way of maintaining my postings to you because otherwise I would not be replying to you ...

Gawd you are desperate for attention ...

P.S. edit ... sorry your on your own ... sea calls!

[Feisty]

That is what Feisty is saying.

Shame on Cyprus for allowing corrupt practices to continue unabated.

[Feisty]

And Fiesty is also saying Shame on anyone, Cypriot or otherwise who thinks it ok for someone to deliberately cause a car accident by ramming a rental car with a 4x4 truck and then to beat up the occupant of the rental car putting him in hospital for 6 days.

Actions like this are reprehensible and utterly indefensible.

I do not care for the opinions of trolls ...

Here read this and weep ... there is more plenty!

How Corrupt is UK Construction?
Monday, October 16, 2006

51% of UK construction professionals felt that corruption is commonplace within the UK construction industry according to a survey by the Chartered Institute of Building.

The survey asked over 1400 construction professionals what type of corrupt practice was most commonly found, and examined attitudes of how corrupt they deemed a variety of practices to be. The study also looked at the areas in which respondents felt that corrupt practice was most likely to occur.

82% of respondent’s were managers or directors; 57% worked in large companies, 20% were employed in medium sized firms and 23% in small organisations.

76% of respondent’s regarded the employment of illegal workers as widespread in UK construction; 60% felt that fraud within the industry was prevalent and 41% had been personally offered a bribe.

Michael Brown CIOB deputy chief executive said, “People define corruption in different ways. What is corrupt to one person might be common practice or just ‘how it’s always been done’ to another. We wanted our research to take the temperature of UK construction and find out what the perception is from those that work within it and its scale.

“Whilst the majority of respondents recognised corrupt practices for what they were, there was a concerning level of people who thought, for example, that producing a fraudulent invoice was not corrupt or that using bribery to obtain a contract was also not a particularly corrupt practice. We clearly have some way to go as an industry to make ethical construction the only construction.”

The World Bank has estimated the cost of corruption to the global economy at US$1.5 trillion a year. More specifically corruption in the Great British construction industry could cost anywhere up to £3 billion a year. The total cost of corruption to the respondent’s companies was estimated at £35 million per year.

So what.

I am a victim of the corruption in Cyprus.

So is Conor

Let those with a complaint about anything in the UK do something about it.

Our problem is with corrupt Cypriot Law systems not being upheld.

and so are many many others.

Ok you want to know what Conor says about Cyprus.

I think it's quite clear what he's saying.

I'm saying it's disgusting that Cyprus still allows it's laws to be broken and not do anything about it and to that it is Shame on Cyprus and it's President, Ministers and Government for allowing corrupt practices to continue and not doing anything about it. If the law is not their concern then what are they there for?

Obviously you are not aware of the workings of a modern democratic state. The judicial is held separate from the executive and legislative branches of the state. You need to be clear on what you are complaining about. Are you saying the laws are not strong enough or are you saying they are not being carried out?

If you are saying that the judicial is not performing well then I don;t see how you could since you have not seen a verdict yet. Granted the justice system here in Cyprus is a little slow but not much slower than the UK.

So to be clear which branch of the state of Cyprus are you saying is failing?

This sort of incidents were common in the Great State of Florida one time, where foreign tourist who had just landed in Miami would drive out of the airport in their rental cars, then would get rammed from behind intentionally by low life criminals and rob the occupants. Over the course of these times, several tourists were shot dead in front of their families as they resisted being robbed.

How did the criminals know it was a rental cars you may ask, and the answer is, in those days, it was very common for rental companies to have their company rental car stickers on the rear bumper. Since then, you will no longer see any Rental Car bumper stickers on rental cars any longer.
