I remember the early 2010's, and the house prices around greater London drastically soared, and it was basically down to these oligarchs buying out most of central London and essentially hollowing out the city. They weren't even living in those houses let alone contributing to the local society or the tax system, while your minum wage workers were travelling in from further afield and still contributing more to the tax purse. How it was allowed to go on I dont know?

Agree with everything but your negative conclusion that 'it's almost impossible to stop'. No it isn't. We just need politicians that actually WANT it stopped.
There have been many politicians who have spoken up against it but their voices are not amplified as much as those who 'toe the line' The problem is that they also control the media, which pushes any story which best serves them and will specifically undermine those who go against them. The Times, Daily Mail and The Sun flood all levels of society, the 'upper', 'middle', 'working' class nature of those three publications ensures every 'class' of society is covered and sent the desired message in terms they understand. I'm hoping that the new generation of internet savvy young people may be an opportunity to turn the tide, but until then we have to dig in and support these kinds of channels and help it get seen by as many people as possible.

Sadly it took a war to bring out in the open what has been public knowledge for ages apart from a few MP's who did it through Parliamentary privilege.
Can't agree with the last point - that nothing can be done... Strip accountants, found to be circumventing the rules, of their charter, as well as banning them from any future work in financial services or related consultancy, and attach criminal offences with prison sentencing - see how many will continue to do so... It is quite possible, but probably unlikely - esp. under a tory government; as they will not act against the interests of their paymasters (big business and the super rich) - as this issue goes much further than just Russian money...
I agree that accountants who aid criminals should be banned. Also greedy landlords should be forced to sell unfit properties. Greedy landlords and dirty money keep prices too high for first time buyers.
Another approach could be to campaign for fiscal reform along Georgist lines, where the burden of taxation is placed squarely on reclaiming the economic rent derived from the monopoly of land and other commonwealth resources (i.e a land value tax, but you could conceivably apply the concept to other forms of monopoly). That way you don't need to waste time and valuable resources tracing the dirty money, as you can simply bypass all that by taxing it straight where it is invested in parasitical economic activities, which you'll find is where most of it ends up, in either land banking, or rent seeking. Naturally the Tories would never have anything to do with such a notion, it being complete anathema to both them and their sponsors, but it could become the cornerstone of a new progressive reform movement, offering to take the proceeds from this tax and use it to significantly improve funding for the NHS and other areas of social spending, with the remainder being distributed evenly by way of a citizen's income. Anyway, just a thought 🙂
@@len2262 Well, that's why I did suggest it could form the basis of a new progressive reform movement.

Empires never settle for anything less than total ownership and control of the world's natural, human and financial financial resources. 80% of all wars since WW2 have been started by the US. No surprise the majority are unaware of these facts because of 24/7 corporate-controlled media brainwashing.80% of wars have been started by the us
I often wondered why the UK really wanted to quit Europe. One of the plausible reasons has always been to avoid the scrutiny and compulsory transparency of the financial and capital markets that the EU has in place. Britain was able to opt out of every major regulation, as if it had never been a member state ever, but staying out of these could only be achieved by pulling out completely and returning to the British success story called Managed Decline. Well, you've made your choice.
Why did Boris sign the brexit treaty when he did? The 6 month grace period end just before the EU introduced new bank laundering laws….as a consequence London could continue laundering

We (THE PUBLIC not politicians) need to take back London from ALL foreign investors. Only residents should be permitted to purchase property in this country.
Having worked in the area, it's not easy or obvious to banks most of the time. Some stuff is simply noticed because one person overhears someone else or there is a small inconsistency or even a singular transaction out of thousands.
Claiming that nothing can be made because of expensive accountants is stupid, wrong and dangerous and just what those oligarchs want us to believe. Why end the program in such a stupid way.
ban offshore companies owning property … each must have a named individual owner… if none comes forward the Land Registry should seize the property as the probability is it was bought with illicit funds
Labour were replaced with more Tories under "new labour". So yeah..it's still the Tories. It's not the labour that worked for the people. That was lost decades ago. Red Tories they call em.
However, there’s another side to this debate… THE RUSSIAN MAFIA - who are very active in many European countries - by & large are absent from the U.K. That’s precisely because THEIR WEALTH is spent & laundered in the U.K. & their bosses choose to mix with U.K. High Society, so they deliberately avoid drawing attention to themselves by NOT conducting their more violent & OVERT criminal activities in the U.K… following the long established principle of, “Don’t sh*t on your own doorstep.” The most notable exception to this is probably the sex trafficking & people trafficking trade, which undoubtedly does flourish in the U.K., but - by its very nature - takes place out of sight of prying eyes… & also panders to the degenerate proclivities of the same titled & wealthy elites who profit form the corruption & Money Laundering… & therefore will not do anything to stamp out those vile & illicit activities either… 🤷🏻♂️
OK, but reading some of the comments, I think that blaming the Russians and the Conservatives is very short-sighted. They are all at it and always have been! Ukraine is also fairly central in the dubious money arena. Ask the Bidens, for instance, or the Clinton Foundation that gets most of its money from Ukrainians.

When I took my 25% tax free lump sum out of my UK private pension I had to prove that I didn't owe the US tax authorities any money !
I've never even been there.
Sickening. I hope the situation in Ukraine will lead to some of this being exposed. Something has to change.
If it changes, the UK will stop being the world's 5th largest economy and living standards would drop considerably
@@Lolalai That's happening now!
@@marionmclean3749 Exposed? It's no secret.
@@marionmclean3749 Apparently, I have heard that the worst is yet to come. Let's hope not :-(
@ Not all of it! Not by a long chalk.
Thanks Joe you legend.
Very well done and said. 👏👏
Like deployed 👍
We should be repossessing that property 🤬
And the government wonders why ‘normal’ people have no trust in them😳
"How do you remove the egg baked into a cake?"
Hahaha, that's the beautifulest analogy for the relation between high finance and organized crime I've ever heard.
Gonna steal this fo shue!
Keep it up. Great work!
The problem is, the majority in the West
obviously has no problem with the corporate-
controlled US Empire's relentless empire-
building agenda, with 800+ military
installations in 145+ countries, so far. This
makes it the main instigator of wars and
terrorism worldwide. Empires never settle for
peaceful coexistence. Empires never settle
for anything less than total ownership and
control of the world's natural, human and
financial financial resources. 80% of all wars
since WW2 have been started by the US. No
surprise the majority are unaware of these
facts because of 24/7 corporate-controlled
media brainwashing.80% of wars have been started by the us
I often wondered why the UK really wanted to quit Europe. One of the plausible reasons has always been to avoid the scrutiny and compulsory transparency of the financial and capital markets that the EU has in place. Britain was able to opt out of every major regulation, as if it had never been a member state ever, but staying out of these could only be achieved by pulling out completely and returning to the British success story called Managed Decline. Well, you've made your choice.
Because leave voters were tricked by propaganda and never knew the shite they were getting into
@@oscarross6485 How come the same voters realise only now what they were fed on was propaganda...
Why did Boris sign the brexit treaty when he did?
The 6 month grace period end just before the EU introduced new bank laundering laws….as a consequence London could continue laundering
I'm relieved that there is a reason for brexit, and the tories didn't just go mad. Evil. But not mad.
I studied in Russia in the early nineties when the oligarchs rose. They are the very worst sort of human beings. That they feel so comfortable in the UK, speaks volumes about you.
I doubt you've been further than the end of your street.
"I studied in Russia in the early nineties when the oligarchs rose"... Really? So you lived next door to them all did you? Brushed shoulders in the local launderette?
@@KebabMusicLtd Well, in those days, if you were a foreigner with a little money, you would end up in some of the same places. But no, I don't know any personally. What on Earth could your point possibly be? There are some extraordinary weirdos on the internet aren't there? Must be pretty awful to be you.
"London"
8.9 Million people live in London.
2 Million earn the minimum wage.
1.5 Million disabled, elderly, seriously ill or out of work and receive benefits.
2 Million Children.
3 Million earn UK average wage.
400,000 earn above UK average wage (That includes people earning 1p/£1 above the average).
Hitler once generalised & labelled groups...
This is no longer the country that i grew up in, or when I enlisted in the mid 80's
Don't stand too close to the Russian owned buildings. People who upset Putin have a habit of falling out of 4th floor windows.
You may as well call yourself "comrade" if you are a tory voter at this point.
As someone who works in finance and has, in the past, presented trading algorithms to London based Russian 'family offices' (for which I am ashamed expect the ones which didn't work!), I looked up the bond issuance on the London Stock Exchange. Interestingly, there is no annual fee for bond listings which is obviously good if you are issuing long term debt. These Oligarchs didn't get rich by throwing money away. Excellent film. The sooner these people have their assets seized and they are prevented from using our schools and services the better
This was actually really well explained.
WHAT??? He explained absolutely nothing. He just said that they buy UK assets through offshores. Wow, such deep investigative journalism.
%100. Spread this far and wide guys.
Russian citizen (covered in a pile of shame and deeply sorry for mad tyrants actions) here - thanks for uncovering things, that most of my counscious fellow citizens have been aware of for quite long time now and found no matters to fight against. We need help kicking out those mfers, who has been silently endorsed by many financial institutions worldwide and therefore started thinking they are untouchable. Finally, since they've shown their real intentions they are getting locked (I do really hope they are) out of their wealth, that they robbed the country of.
People are confused here and don't now how to stop the madness without fearing for their lives. This is not russia's war, this is stictly mad tyrants war. It's not russians Ukrainians fighting with - it's Putin and his cabal
Even while I'm writing this comment I'm not sure it won't bounce back to me, hell, f it!
Well said and stay strong brother!, and yes, watch ur back.
And johnson is mixed in with a lot of them, great video, thanks.
The UK govts ..Labour and Tory have failed to sort out tax and legal issues of clearly illegal money..... too many politicians are beholden to the oligarchs and the bottomless pockets. And even with the Ukrainian war the UK was loathe to do more than it was absolutely forced to do by the US and EU. (Neither of whom are exactly sparklingly clean either.)
This is one of the greatest future reporters of all time. The future is clear. Well done.
The law doesn’t apply to the rich
It's interesting that you did not mention the British royals, like they are not involved:)
Well that’s Boris Johnson and the Tory government. Don’t tell me they can’t stop this and how much did that Russian woman pay Johnson for a game of tennis £130.000 🤬
£160k
You've got to ask why..
Heck even a moron could figure out £160k "donation" wasn't because she really wanted to play a game of Tennis with Boris Johnson..
She probably never even turned up for the game
The Tories should return their donations.
London is a laundry for anyone's dirty money not just Russian...
Exactly right mate, spot on...the crux of 'the big lie'.
Surely you are doing him a favour cleaning up his criminals?..Well done joeys...cheers Jo's.!;)
We (THE PUBLIC not politicians) need to take back London from ALL foreign investors. Only residents should be permitted to purchase property in this country.
Start by insisting each property has an individuals name attached, not a property company
A brilliant video which explains everything in a short, concise amount of time. Keep them coming.
Thank you ! For tilling the truth!
Well done mate.
It's not like our politicians are much better when it comes to money...
Disgraceful conservative government
Wow a channel spitting facts at last. SUBSCRIBED
You are right..
Of course they're going to turn a blind eye.. they end up lining their own pockets.
The right coice for UK would be the return to UE. We Portuguese, love You! Come Back home where You belong. ☺️❤️
The right country to do all these things . Just pay the tories and they'll turn the other way.
Wow, I'm blown away by how informative this is yet easy to understand
And lacking evidence...
The LSE took a massive dive when Russia began its invasion, yet the other markets carried on as normal
Russia's market dropped some 30 percent
I bet the same money helped brexit happen.
Brexit was a Putin Project. Smell the roses harder.
Putin wanted a weaker EU and paid politicians to assist in that project.
A weaker EU = stronger Russia.
Brexit campaign was triggered by proposed EU rules on money laundering.
Absolutely brilliant 🤩
Excellent video once again. Keep it up 👍
Having worked in the area, it's not easy or obvious to banks most of the time. Some stuff is simply noticed because one person overhears someone else or there is a small inconsistency or even a singular transaction out of thousands.
Claiming that nothing can be made because of expensive accountants is stupid, wrong and dangerous and just what those oligarchs want us to believe.
Why end the program in such a stupid way.
Now we know why Boris is doing so little
ban offshore companies owning property … each must have a named individual owner… if none comes forward the Land Registry should seize the property as the probability is it was bought with illicit funds
Brilliant work 👏
Gert good report, interesting, and bloody scary what Boris and his Tory mates condone, vodkas all round
Thanks... the world needs to know this
And Truss's 'hit' list?
I wonder how effective she's going to be.
SEIZE EVERYTHING THE OLIGARCHS OWNS!!
I love how everyone thinks only Tory is responsible for this 🤣🤣 it’s not like Labour was ever in power 🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️
Labour were replaced with more Tories under "new labour". So yeah..it's still the Tories. It's not the labour that worked for the people. That was lost decades ago.
Red Tories they call em.
@@luminousfractal420 No, princess, they call them Labour. Try and wash it anyway you like.
It’s amazing how much democracy a game of tennis can buy.
That was a lot of hopping around London. Great video, thanks.
What can I say Joe...good thing Putin made sure UK got out of EU.
Thank You for the Information.
One of the best reporters out there
Interesting and delivered in a fun and entertaining style.
Good reporting.
Comrade Boris loves the money.
I don’t know if his name is really oli Gark but if it is, how ironic
However, there’s another side to this debate… THE RUSSIAN MAFIA - who are very active in many European countries - by & large are absent from the U.K. That’s precisely because THEIR WEALTH is spent & laundered in the U.K. & their bosses choose to mix with U.K. High Society, so they deliberately avoid drawing attention to themselves by NOT conducting their more violent & OVERT criminal activities in the U.K… following the long established principle of, “Don’t sh*t on your own doorstep.”
The most notable exception to this is probably the sex trafficking & people trafficking trade, which undoubtedly does flourish in the U.K., but - by its very nature - takes place out of sight of prying eyes… & also panders to the degenerate proclivities of the same titled & wealthy elites who profit form the corruption & Money Laundering… & therefore will not do anything to stamp out those vile & illicit activities either… 🤷🏻♂️
Well done!
OK, but reading some of the comments, I think that blaming the Russians and the Conservatives is very short-sighted. They are all at it and always have been! Ukraine is also fairly central in the dubious money arena. Ask the Bidens, for instance, or the Clinton Foundation that gets most of its money from Ukrainians.
Great show. Of course our Government are aware. The big cats get away with all the cream whilst us little cats get squeezed for not being able to afford our tv license. Fair world ? Very very unbalanced and corrupt.
Can't keep waiting for change in westminster. We should start creating alternatives. Something better for the people of our nations. So when they say "you can't". We can ignore them and carry on with some security
You’re right we can’t keep waiting
Excellent 👌🏻
Ooooow goodie 👍🏼🍻 Get it out there lad 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 This is an outraaaaaage ! Said in a mighty boosh Tony way lol
man good effort! i know you went hard on this well done!
Johnson part enabled this during his period as Mayor.
Let's all stop being honest, let's be like the banks.
Torys on the take!
Rip them from power!
