As one commentator has observed, London is now the 'money-laundering capital of the world', so I expect barely a ripple

Its just fleshing out something which was already rather obvious. So I suspect it will be ignored by all those who arent worried about selling the country out to, not particularly, highest bidder.

A lot of London property is supposedly owned by Russians which is a massive cause of property price inflation, with little regulation.

"A total of 3,282 British companies were named in the leaked suspicious activity reports - that's more than any other country in the world"

Hoorah! British financial services leading the field once again. Makes you proud, doesn't it...?

That situation will not prevent self-righteous UK finger-pointing at such matters as the behaviour of some developing countries in their (mis)management of overseas aid. We are beyond reproach in our own financial probity, of course. Another disconcerting step down the ladder of international trustworthiness. Vulgar in the extreme.

A PM who goes by the moniker 'Boris,' has an unsackable Special Adviser who spent a few of his formative years doing nobody-knows-what in Russia... Results of an investigation into Russian Interference in elections and EU referendum suppressed. Tangible links to dirty Roubles. 

I'm not one for crazy conspiracy theories. Move along. Nothing to see here.
