Your average Brit knows - and cares - far more about _Love Island_ and Rishi's seatbelt than about this, and then blames the hardworking little person just trying to get through life for the country falling apart. From Starmer to Farage and every shade in between none of the monied political class will change anything. Matt Kennard has written about the how deep the influence of coorporations extends into our institutions.

Why has this documentary not been given major awards? Brilliantly uncovering secretive boys club antics that make paupers of us all.

Brilliant documentary - and absolutely sickening at the same time. I am so disgusted I'm lost for words. I'm amazed this documentary has been allowed to stay on here and not be removed.

Where former government ministers, senior civil servants etc. “receive lucrative consulting services agreements after their time in public service,” or, in translation, deferred kickbacks and bribes from their time in public service.

No exaggeration, this documentary changed my view of the world forever. I am truly shaken.

The square mile of London, known as the city of London was never conquered by the Normans. It was a walled fortress with access to the sea, and as such the bankers could escape the power of the Norman kings. Concerned that the bankers would pose a threat from their money changing and money manipulation activities, the Norman kings introduced a national currency called Talley sticks which kept the city of London bankers at bay, for almost 700 years. But in 1700, the city of London finally got control of the national finances by establishing the private "Bank of England" which loaned all the kings money into existence as debt.......driving a rapid trade and colonization expansion of the British empire to feed the ever expanding pool of interest accruing debt based money pouring out of the private pound issuing banks loaning out credit. The next disaster to engulf the world was when the private central bank, the "Federal reserve" was established in the USA which gave the bankers complete control of the USA and by default, the world. These tax havens, these dodgy financial shelters are just one small aspect of the many crimes that banksters do on a daily basis.

My wife worked at HSBC in the early 2000s, in Manila. When we met she was very proud of the bank's ethos and respectability. When the drugs and money laundering were revealed she never talked about the bank since; she was gutted because that bank was her life. She also worked at Chase Manhattan, another one shed rather not talk about.

So let’s ask why Charles and the then leader of the Church of England, a man that withheld evidence from the police, and a member of the House of Lords all protected the defrocked sex offender Bishop Ball. What did the Bishop know in order to call on such people to protect him? What about the victim of the Bishop that took his own life? When will we have a program about this? If this had been any ordinary person ? Why one rule for the people at the top and one for us?

It's all starting to collapse like a house of cards. Hold on tight everyone!!

They are all in it together, all on the same team

These documentaries are an absolute necessity if the whole world is to unite for the benefit of the majority of the peoples (99%) of this planet.

The City may have been the reason that many very wealthy businessmen in the UK voted to leave the EU because the European Parliament were enacting very strict laws on financial transaction such as those committed in The City. Thanks for a very good presentation.

Best documentary indeed! Professionalism, historic accuracy, great narrator, wonderful script...You are indeed THE BEST. Thank you very much from Romania 🇹🇩.

Nicholas Shaxson comments how in the 60's and 70's many rock groups became "anti-establishment" by going offshore. I'm not convinced that being anti-establishment was a priority - it had more to do with not wanting to pay up to 90% tax, a point quite conveniently left out by Mr. Shaxson.

Nicholas Shaxon, the author of Treasure Islands: Tax Havens and the Men who Stole the World and Poisoned Wells: the Dirty Politics of African Oil, is a major contributor on this documentary. Incredible books. Such a shame books cannot enforce laws.

Funny how we all need to be righteous,yet the people or whatever at the top are bordering on evil

Litigation in the courts is phenomenally expensive, but HMRC will take Joe Bloggs the Plumber/Builder to court for doing a cash in hand job for a few hundred quid, laughable

If I remember correctly, David Cameron and his father were hiding money in the Cayman Islands. Again, if l remember correctly, Cameron was claiming to stamp out offshore Tax Havens !! 🧐👻

People fail to realise .. the salt of Britain is the people .. the engineers.. the doctors the nurses .. the good mothers and fathers .. the emergency services.. the hard workers .. the good will and love for its fellow man ❤❤❤

Excellence in storytelling via film production. ❤ The suggested five things needed to put an end to tax havens would likely be quite effective. Considering the political capture of governments by the elites, I can only say: good ‘f’ing luck getting any of it done! 😢

From what i understoon is that elites is a synonim for criminals

BRICS+ will struggle to defeat this structure, but it looks like they will have the support of all non-G7 countries to weaken it. The coups in Africa is a clear signal that enough is enough

London City....not part of London ? Vatican City....not part of Rome ? Etc. It doesn't take a genius to realise the reasons for this, Or the obvious amount of power and corruption in these 'citys'. However, it does take dedicated journalism, investigations and documentaries like this to inform and make people aware of the issue in the first place. Well done !

It’s interesting to find out so much information about financial interest and European central banking. The corporate corruption runs deep. Perhaps in the future, a video will be made doing a deep dive into the tangled relationship between financial institutions and intelligence agencies. I appreciate you sharing this video with us!

One million seconds of time is equivalent to 11.5 days, one billion seconds is 32 years, one trillion seconds is 31,687 years. It puts an absurd perspective on the size of those numbers.

I recall the BCCI incident by reading the papers back when I was young - didn't understand much of it then. The idea that you used it as a example to build your thesis gave me much clarity to these offshore operation. It also lends some perspective when DJT advocated lowering the US corporate tax rate so that money domiciled offshore would come back home.🤠

“Staunch symbol of our common will to order.” Frightening words.

Excellent documentary 👍. God bless All of you who works hard to make this information in very simple way so the common Man can understand.👍👍♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

the empire isnt gone, its still here and they still control pretty much everything

Fantastic documentary. Thank you!

Fantastic documentary.... I learnt SO much about something before I knew SO little. WELL DONE !!

Chaps don't ask other chaps questions that chaps don't want to be asked.

Dirty game of power and greed. No end to it.

These docs are great. Essential. But when will the many push back against the few to stop this шit

Finance is a creative art that’s all it is. In fact we can create wealth for every citizen using digital accounting software, or for any business interest, because the thing about wealth is we are just making it all up.

The British never get called out on their crimes but love to point the finger at others

I am surprised this documentary is only 4 months old. I watched this documentary a few years back. I think there are 2 of those documentaries. Is this a re-publishing? The flow of those funds are quite complex. It has been been building up for the last 60 years now. It will be quite challenging to de-stabilize this movement. In addition to the 5 points suggested, we need a mirror Disney type movie to explain this approach in a more accessible manner to a wider mass audience, i.e. Pirates of the Caribbean looking for treasure... in the real world.

I remember in 1972 I was in the UK were a young Englishman my age then, thought the UK still owned the country were I was born! Unknowingly, my country gained independence from Britain in September 1964. My response was that his schooling perhaps failed him like the millions of Britons, the decline the UK had gone through all those years and still gone through up to the present day, because its leaders failed to face such reality, then and now.

Stunning optimism at the end --- they say fixing this problem is easy ! Just 5 little steps.......

This is Insidious Truth!

Ask about NHS Trusts....see where the Govt places it’s money...using these Trusts to place uk tax payers money elsewhere....each patient is worth £X amount. The tax payer vis the govt pays money for each patient. The trust charges high fees for drugs equipment etc and that money pays their friends companies. Then the private business attached to each nhs trust that money is sent and saved. It’s ciphoned away from the hospital and placed in Trust abroad....

I'm sure Dave's offshore account was suitably boosted to "thank him" for his work.

Funny how the same act can be interpreted differently in view of how it benefits or deprives you.

Colonialism is still alive and kicking 😢

Apparently ‘decentralizing’ results in Centralization ironically. Quite extraordinary really. Much thought went into this obviously. You must ‘tip your hat’ to where a ‘hat tip’ is due. WOW !!!

Why is this NOT on national TV?... oh, wait, I guess we know the answer to that.

The system that you are describing is the beast.

Para mais documentário como este. O que mais me chamou atenção foi a comparação da divida dos países africanos em relação aos dinheiros que estão escondidos offshore.

I addicted to Documentry....❤❤❤ Upload more Videos ❤❤❤❤

Absolutely fantastic documentary. Subscribed! Thanks.

We have more to fear from governments assuming control of our wealth than from private wealth. But it looks like we are going to get both!

Beautiful story of the new Babylon

Excellent report,thanks. ..we need more of such reports

The sinister music in the background is a very appropriate choice for the topic of this video.

Great job... Salutes,🙏🙏🙏

Brilliant documentary.

Thank you for such good report ,!!!

Buen video aporta conocimiento a las futuras generaciones

What a lovely world we live in..

Go the BRICS nations and break away from this corruption.

The ancient knights who were disillusioned with the king then adopted a currency exchange system by monopolizing it. grow to be very rich, become a secret organization of ancient magicians from all over the world. dunno exactly what it looks like.

A fascinating documentary.

No use of this documentary 🎉 nothing worthwhile can be done to eradicate the system. Great info from the documentary. Thanks ..enjoyed ❤

Really interesting documentary!

In Poland we don't have such problems because we don't have anything. We have 800 euros per month 1 liter of diesel for 2 euros and politicians who say Poland is an economic power and in the UK there are 1 million Poles 🙂 good movie

Every president of developing countries need to know this

Eye opening thanks for exposing the secrets

The British Nation blindly trusts their leaders (not unique but in an age of information, you would expect people to ask fundamental questions) - The leaders serve Corporation's and the rich elite who seek to change legislation for the benefit of themselves by taking Power away from others who can intervene. Take Brexit as an example, the rich want to remove minimum working hours, workers rights, tax regulations so these can be influenced by lobbies whose clients are Corporations and Individual wealthy Businessmen which includes owners of land from British history. Every intelligent person who follows politics knew, Brexit would harm people but the people's naivety and, cunningness of the 'elite' convinced them that Brexit is Panacea to society s financial problems - Today: they pay more for energy (and no, Ukraine may have made things worse but not fundamental cause), price of fule is higher, food prices are higher, NHS investment has gone up and politically, UK is weaker globally with not a single significant economic trade deal. The 'elite' of this nation run it in Criminal ways but, project the World a second face.

Good documentary, if a bit sensational, Most of the British Empire was gained by treaty rather than conquest, and for commerce & trade rather than occupation hence this financial apparatus was always there. However, if you find this shocking, have a look at France’c control of the Central African France. Used by Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, and Gabon, these countrys have no control over interest rates or financial policy and it means France can control the price they pay (or don’t pay) for minerals and commodities from Africa.

Thank you for this brilliant film exposing the real scum at the top.

I think I now understand why Nicholas Shaxson has never been interviewed by Britain's main media houses.

Respect love and gratitude 🙏

Salute All Honest Professors. 🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋

Widzę, że na Wyspach,,legenda braci, Reggie i Ronnie Kray wiecznie żywa!!?

A welder in South Wales during the 1970's earned £750 per week. With inflation, a similar skilled tradesman should be on about £3,000 per week today. Ever wondered where all the money went. Grand Theft Currency

How long before this documentary is taken down ? Thanks for producing and sharing

Cheered me up on a dreary rainy day.

Highly recommended.

They knew about North and South America before they took it because explorers like Marco Polo and traders like the Chinese had visited before. Britain learned of the fertile land, gold ect.. and the fact the natives was friendly and their weapons were arrows and spears, easy to take over with guns and cannons. Having weapons of more destruction is how they always took over every where they landed all over the world.

Well it's high time we did investigate

A empire the sun never set on...100% true. My all respect to the all the British people who give them life for democracy and freedom for all humanity tell this time. My god bless your souls ❤😊.

Well, that was cheery! Anybody else losing the will to live?...

Astonishing - shared to Facebook (for what that's worth)......

Very very good documentary but very very depressing

It's a wonderful world!

Salute Professor Sikka. 🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋

I have just realised how it is that the London MET is so inept, after viewing this brilliant programme. A State within a State totally reliant for the 2Ps.’ (TM), Pensions, & Promotions.

Me gustan muchos estos tipos de videos

My sister's friend has son in the Cayman Islands,he's been an account there for years. My sis and all their friend's had investments for over 30 years,I'm told she and they just lost thousands each about five month's ago and all live in B.C. and all are Government worker's, B C.Ferrys,B.C.Utilitys Commission, and City Worker's. 😢

VERY GOOD ! EXTRAORDINARY

Superb documentary

This country is very rich its just it is in the hands of less than 1 per cent of the country which includes the royal family the tory party have let major companies be sold off or go bankrupt but defends the city of London in every way it can

When I'm seeing marching British soldiers....I see Germans army during WWII. No difference. I know now who was starting WWl and being involved in raising power of hitla. And today we have the same situation. They starting again , because they loosing dominance. People awake please.

What a wonderfull democracy ! The two most occidental countries are giving a good lesson to the world ! Democracy does not mean for them the power of the people. but the power over the people !

I am aged 84, retired chartered accountant, and worked for my final 10 years in the offshore world. Successive UK governments since WW2 have aided and abetted tax evasion via Jersey, Guernsey, Sark, Isle of Man, Cayman, Bermuda, Seychelles, Gibraltar etc, and to a lesser extent ent Cyprus and Malta, the French via Monaco and Switzerland, also Liechenstein etc etc. The only positive is many of those island states would have only tourism to support the local economy whereas off shore financial activities have provided welcome additional business activity. I know having visited most of these jurisdictions. Visit Luxembourg on a day which is a bank holiday in Germany and there is no available car parking, no available seats in restaurants etc!

6. Create an alternative banking system that is publicly owned and will finance infrastructure for the public good and allow sovereignty of the nation so it is not ruled by foreign interests or elites

Share share share ..... We have allowed this to happen because we did not question those who had alleged authority.

Muy buen documental!!!

Why is tjat not shown by the BBC every month at 8pm on all their main channels?

Wait, in the UK there are mental health hospitals called NHS trusts. They are run by both public and private interests. Is the name an indicator of the ownership of such an organisation?
