Corruption Index 2014

Transparency International publishes these surveys. It has a boring attitude to what is essentially a cost of doing business with foreign undesirables. From http://www.transparency.org/cpi2014/results. The light fingered tend to be black or Arab. I am still surprized that England comes so high what with corrupt politicians walking free. Look at Private Eye to see more of the ugly truth every fortnight.
