Corruption charges used by the UK to reinstate colonialism

Why does the UK tout itself as the ultimate moral authority to act like parents of countries enjoying autonomy? Currently, in places like Ghana and Turks and Caicos, the UK has imposed its will on the people and the government citing corruption as its reason to provide its immaculate relief to the people.

There are a few problems with UK's theories of abolishing countries' and territories' self-governance due to corruption.

For starters, Westminster can invest in cleaning its own house for a change. Earlier this year, members of parliament were caught cheating and skimming just for the same members of parliament shortly after to be awarded the equivalent of $400 each day for expenses (per diem). What's more is that this money requires no accounting or receipts for the expenditures.

Could it be time for Westminster to do its own house cleaning instead of breaking into others' homes ordering the services at the expense of the homeowner?

The UK "invaded" (for lack of a more suitable word) the Turks and Caicos Islands in August, upon its investigation of corruption, allegedly at the hands of the former Michael Misick government. The cost of the investigation came at the expense of the Turks and Caicos people. Upon UK's "finding of corruption", it installed its own officials, hiked taxes and cut benefits; all at the expense of the Turks and Caicos people. If the UK is trying to save Turks and Caicos, at it so conveniently claims, why then is it making these changes to the detriment of the people and at the people's expense?

Today, the government of the Cayman Islands announced that it is considering suing the UK government for Cayman's expenses in fighting corruption charges and expenses passed on to the government in the resulting investigation.

In the case of Ghana, in West Africa, the UK is again seen there meddling in corruption charges against developers who have been rumored to have been acting on behalf of the UK's interests in bribing officials.

So deep but common is UK's allegation of developer/government bribes that the crimes and corruption department in the UK has been tied several times before from completing its investigation and criminal charges.

The UK government is purportedly behind the so-called bribes using development companies as a front. UK special prosecutor Helen Garlick (who is now installed in Turks and Caicos) was ensnared in this same scenario when she investigated and attempted to prosecute corruption charges, in the UK against officials from Saudi Arabia for bribes. Garlick was relieved of her duties when she insisted on prosecution even after former Prime Minister Tony BlairTony Blair tried to stop the prosecution. Garlick retreated into private practice for what she called "political reasons."

Helen Garlick now finds herself in Turks and Caicos under the same guise of prosecuting so-called corrupt former officials. Mind you, the citizens' constitutional rights to jury trials have been suspended in the islands. This is not to allow the accused of receiving an unbias verdict, it is due to UK's assertion that a jury panel of incorruptible jurors could not be assembled in Turks and Caicos.

The same people who complained of corruption in Turks and Caicos are the same individuals being questioned for fraudulent claims of corruption and are accused of trying to take over the government and resort developments by filing false claims.

Helen Garlick, the installed special prosecutor from UK, also realises that corruption charges can be a farce. In April, Garlick sat on a panel wherein she spoke for over ten minutes providing a glimpse of how an arbitrary and needless allegation of corruption "... could have such unforeseeable ripple effects."
