Since when was taking 20 years over something ‘fast-tracking’?
Will the Tories show solidarity with Ukraine and return their blood money or, even better, donate it to relief charities?
If Putin hadn’t invaded Ukraine, I’m guessing they would not be fast tracking anything regarding dirty money from Russia. They are all complicit in Putin’s machine.

It’s not a serious measure unless we address off-shore tax havens.
They are only doing this because the public opinion is strong against the war and they need to get the public onside for elections and approval ratings etc., but all these years of Russian dirty money was fine. Fucking cunts.
So we could have done this at literally any point over the last 20 years?
It’s full of loopholes for their mates. This is a very poor piece of legislation.
How about we tackle dirty money in general, or is other dirty money ok?
Would like to see seized russian assets to be used to fix Ukraine’s infrastructure damaged by the war
Or..
The UK admits supporting Russian “dirty money” for decades -as highlighted in the recent report- and now is warning the Russian investors to shift their cash before making a move designed to look good despite not going as far as the EU or USA.
What chance they won’t find the money that already landed in their wallets?
I’m sure there will be a clause which allows Russian money to flow into the Tory party
Would never have got done if they didn’t go into Ukraine… to much Russian dirty money is in the Tory’s pockets…
If the Tories have anything to do with it, they’ll just hide it.
“It’s now politically expedient to stop looking the other way”
Fast-tracks after they bought so much estates in London. Mothrtfuckers enjoyed the stamp duty taxes from the dirty money.
Have they tried looking in the Tory’s bank accounts?
Only twenty what??? Can’t understand. [uk warehousing](https://wblw.uk/)
>Mr Johnson said that there is “no place for dirty money” in the UK.
Can’t believe he’d willingly cut all funding from his own party. That’s a crazy move!
Easy for them. Just change the name from Russian to something british sounding and it will be fine. the Square Mile will not exist if it is not for the money stolen, looted and deposited by despots from around the world.
This brings to mind a story from ages ago involving Peter Mandelson and George Osborne aboard Oleg Deripaska’s mega yacht.
Something about a row due to George Osborne soliciting a donation from Deripaska to the Tories, and suggesting he could do it via his UK businesses as Deripaska wasn’t British.
Mandelson wasn’t bothered about that part though. It was more that he wanted the donation for labour or perhaps just himself.
These guys are so corrupt. They’d sell the nation out in an instance for a taste of Russian money.
Burn it all, we don’t need any more blood money, and while we’re at it lets get out of bed with the Saudis
Redo the investigation into Russian money as well. and maybe this time allow the investigators to investigate the Russian money.
If there’s one good thing that I hope can come from this crisis and war is the revelation to the public and indeed the world at how corrupted our country and political system has become for the past decades – taking in dirty money from corrupt oligarchs and political leaders not just in Russia but China, the middle east etc.
It doesn’t really matter if you are on the right or the left, the Tories are a compromised party and have been complicit in effectively whoring out our country and it’s services to anyone looking to launder their money and safe guard their assets.
It’s no wonder we, out of most countries in Europe, probably are able to do the most when it comes to sanctions because of how infested with dirty money London has been allowed to become.
Their doing this now because they know a day of reckoning will come when questions will be raised and greater attention given as to the involvement of some ministers and MPs with these unsavoury characters and when you’re that deep in bed with these people who are from a country we are effectively at war with – how far away is that from treason?
Although I doubt much will be really done, no doubt there will be loopholes, flimsy and loose lanague in whatever proposals are put forward and we will be told it will take years to enforce but it will force them to do something at least and put it further in the spotlight and public conscious of the public and really the world.
It’s pretty easy to find, it’s in Tory MP’s bank accounts.
“Mr Johnson said that there is “no place for dirty money” in the UK.”
ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Does this involve investigating Conservative Friends of Russia?
How many Tory MPs *have* taken money from a hostile power?
The fact that a war had to happen for us to do anything is shameful.
Wishful thinking as I know it would never happen, but I would love for the government to seize russian oligarchs mansion houses and flats to let refugees fleeing the war have somewhere to stay.
Mogg: M-My Investments!!
But anything to fight that regime right now. To quote Tesco’s “Every little helps”
If you get rid of the dirty Russian money, where is the money going to come from?
>”We are going faster and harder to tear back the façade that those supporting Putin’s campaign of destruction have been hiding behind for so long.”
So … we’ve known about it for ages, but not done anything about it because … ?
(rhetorical question – we all know why)
So for ever London has laws that allowed dirty money until now. Proof beyond doubt that the British Government has been sanctioning money laundering through the City of London.
You can’t even buy a phone or check into a hotel without giving up your name and an ID. But it’s cool to buy an entire block of flats with not even a hint of name.
Feckless corrupt politicians never should have allowed it to begin with.
Oh now something is getting done about it? I wonder what convenient moment is happening in Europe right now to make this “fast tracked” decision? Fucking hmmmmmmm indeed!
I think we found a solution to the housing crisis.
In a completely unrelated note, there are some newly-listed 10 bedroom manors for sale in Kensington that are priced verrrry reasonably.
Slow-clap…
Took a fuck load of people to get killedto make them do it!
Edit: also, it isn’t done yet. UK Government are “doing” a lot of things, but they seem to complete very few of them.

You just know those comments are gonna come back and haunt Boris and the Tories for the next 20 years.
Speeding up the process of covering their own asses!
I worked for an oligarch on his megayacht and I wonder how that industry is coping at the moment. I wonder if my wages could’ve been considered ‘dirty money’ (although it was thoroughly laundered by then).
“And so Londongrad was born. So too was the first step of a widespread national kompromat. “
The Tories are salivating about confiscating all that money and then ‘misplacing’ it. It’ll make covid corruption seem like pennies.
One MASSIVELY good-flip side to this is that this could turn the tide – lots of these guys very close to Putin, and it’s long been said Putin might actually be the richest man in the world thanks to secret deals with oligarchs, and now they’re turning against him.
Now you might otherwise laugh at the fact that Russia’s billionaires are suddenly showing solidarity with the Ukrainian people, just as the top 100 lost over $120 *billion* between them in a few weeks, but if it means we stop this madness, then I don’t care what excuses they make up.
Frankly I’d rather see London flooded with dirty money for decades if the alternative is London and large parts of the UK no longer existing.
I wonder what other stuff they’ve hidden in there to fuck of the UK public more whilst they’re at it?
So what happens if you don’t list your name as the holder of a property?
Also if someone doesn’t transfer their name to the deeds is there punishment?
Thirdly if someone has to put their name on deeds with a shell company we find out which shell company is linked to which person right?

London – [The global money-laundering capital](https://www.chathamhouse.org/2021/12/uks-kleptocracy-problem/03-global-money-laundering-capital)
Slow tracks. Very slow. Very very slow tracked. Think “maybe introduced in 2023 if they can be bothered”.
