The British government under Margaret Thatcher misled the public and MPs about its dealings with the Pinochet regime in Chile while it tortured and killed thousands of i
When the Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet was arrested in London in 1998, Margaret Thatcher became his most high-profile defender. But when she was prime minister, her government was reluctant to reveal the true extent of its links with a regime responsible for the “disappearance” of thousands of people.

Thatcher’s government, which lasted from 1979 to 1990, not only lifted a British embargo on the sale of weapons to Chile imposed by the previous Labour government, it also sold arms that could be used for internal repression while training hundreds of Chilean soldiers.


Conservative party donor who supported Michael Gove’s Tory leadership bid won £164m in Covid contracts after the minister referred his firm to a “VIP lane” that awarded almost £5bn to companies with political connections, new analysis reveals.

The disclosure draws Gove into a furore over alleged cronyism that has led critics to accuse the government of running a “chumocracy” where MPs’ friends, contacts or acquaintances have won huge contracts without proper process or transparency.

NEW FIGURES RELEASED by British Parliament show that, at a time when U.K. Prime Minister Theresa May’s ties to Saudi Arabia have become an election issue, conservative government officials and members of Parliament were lavished with money by the oil-rich Saudi government with gifts, travel expenses, and consulting fees.

Tory lawmakers received the cash as the U.K. backs Saudi Arabia’s brutal warOpens in a new tab against Yemen, the poorest country in the Middle East.




The Conservative party has received almost £18m in donations from 154 donors with property interests since Boris Johnson became UK prime minister two years ago, according to Financial Times analysis.

The donations made by individuals and companies in the property sector — which account for a quarter of total donations made to the Tory party since July 2019 — come as Johnson pushes ahead with a contentious liberalisation of England’s planning system which critics say could benefit housing developers.

Wake up to The Great British Property Scam
26 September 2022
Guest post by Neil Bromage, writer and journalist


Bromage: Billions of pounds have been taken from small, unsophisticated investors

Unlawful property investment schemes have now failed in huge numbers across the UK. Hotel rooms, student accommodation, rooms in care homes, storage pods and car parking spaces have all been sold unlawfully to unwitting investors. At one point, even burial plots were being sold in this way.

Billions of pounds have been taken from small, unsophisticated investors, in many cases from their pension or retirement nest eggs. Promised high-level returns, many of those investors now face retirement in penury.

It is now widely acknowledged that virtually all these property developments are unregulated collective investment schemes (UCIS) and therefore unlawful.

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) is currently investigating and prosecuting the first culprits. Others will follow in their wake as the Serious Fraud Office has also now stepped in with concerns about fraud and money laundering as schemes almost inevitably turn into Ponzis.

Schemes like this should have been authorised by the FCA. In not doing so, a whole range of offences have been committed and are now coming to light. At the same time, many schemes still exist and continue to be marketed by unscrupulous sales teams in the full knowledge that they are UCIS. It naturally follows that some lawyers are still prepared to act for those buying into the schemes.

The SRA has carried advice and warnings about solicitor’s involvement in collective investment schemes since at least 2013.

It says: “We have warned for a number of years about the risks posed by dubious or questionable investment schemes… Schemes are being promoted as involved in the routine buying of a property when in reality the buyer’s money is being used to finance a high-risk development or refurbishment.

“This is of particular concern in unusual developments such as the buying of individual hotel rooms, rooms in care homes, or self-storage units… We are seeing cases of solicitors simply processing transactions for buyers while adopting the language of conveyancing. The effect is to mask what is really happening…

“The Serious Fraud Office have previously investigated losses of up to £120m arising from the promotion of self-storage schemes…

“Many of these schemes are likely to be ‘collective investment schemes’ under section 235 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000. If those involved in the schemes are not authorised by FCA, they will be committing a criminal offence and are likely to be imprisoned.”

It may now seem like a distant memory, but The Great British Property Scam has many of its roots in the financial crisis of 2008.
