Am I the only peron who doesn't have a problem with bribing in countries that require bribes to trade? The only difference between a bribe and commision is timing.
As far as I am concerned, our Foreign Office should be doing this sort of thing all the time in the interests of British trade.
Keep business honest within our borders, but screw the rest of the world.
If we don't, the French, Russians etc certainly will.
And before some of you get on your high horses, how many of the rest of you, like me, have had to grease a few palms to get airborne in Africa/Balkans?
