      Funny how the countries that lecture everyone else are suddenly sliding themselves.

      What do both countries have in common??

      Rapists have more rights than victims.  The government doesn’t want to talk about it and the police suppress it.

      The world is inching closer to 1984 every year. Rich people hold all the power.

      It’s basically the rich and powerful dictating what we can and cannot do. The rich and powerful decide the laws via „legal“ bribes in the form of lobbying.

      I want off this boat.

      It’s probably worth pointing out that this is a rating based on *perceived* corruption, rather than a specific measure.

      It’s always felt a bit flawed to me, as actively addressing corruption tends to require it to be brought to public attention, which likely then increases the perception of it.

      I think perception can be an extremely inaccurate reflection of reality. Like I bet if you did a survey of *perceived* knife crime people would rate the UK as worse than the USA because of how it is presented in the media, for example.

      (I’m obviously not saying the UK and USA are free of corruption, or that it’s not getting worse – simply that I don’t know how reliable this particular rating is.)

      Edit: Google’s AI summary is remarkably in line with my point. I didn’t mention perception at all, I just queried the data.:

      > The United States has a higher fatal stabbing rate per capita (approx. 0.49 per 100,000 in 2023) compared to England and Wales (approx. 0.08 per 100,000 in 2024), despite public perception.

      Britain has been gradually slipping down the rankings since 2015, falling from the seventh-placed country to 20th in 2025. — It’s the kind of decline that takes years to build and years to reverse.

      The ONLY reason Denmark isn’t high on that list is because we essentially have legalised corrupting our political parties.

      Right wingers are destroying our world & making it more corrupt by the day…

      As a person who has repeated attempts at transparency thwarted [pre 2018] please refer to the following.

      There are many problems with corruption in the US and transparency and cronyism are culprits. IMHO though this ranking has dropped from 20 from when I began to note corruption, I certainly don’t think 29 even correctly represents the US, which is simply becoming lawless.

      Britain is sandwiched between such hotbeds of corruption like Japan and Austria.

      The absolute indignity of it.
