Much has been said about Venezuela being a Narco-State and that directly related to the kidnap and extradition of Maduro by the US authorities.
But something akin to that has happened in the UK.
The UK would collapse if it wasn't for the revenue from organised crime and organised crime is deeply intertwined with the political elite.
Let me explain.
It's common knowledge that the many Turkish barbers that have sprung up in the last 10 years are fronts for money laundering.
It's common knowledge that the many Nail Bars that have sprung up in the last 10 years are fronts for money laundering.
Along with the Kebab shops that are fronts for grooming gangs, or the hand car washes that are staffed by illegal immigrants, there is always an illegal aspect to these businesses.
In fact they are probably the ONLY businesses that have sprung up in the last 10 years that survive the current climate in the high street. In fact most of the successful businesses in the last 10 years have been fronts for illegal activity in some form or other.
Because you need to be bent in order to survive. No legitimate business can make enough profit to pay rent, business rates, and taxes and at the same time comply with all the required legislation placed on businesses.
And then there's the direct illegal activity: drug distribution, illegal tobacco; you name it, it's going on.
Our high street is a hotbed of organised crime.
So is the property market. It's long been a way for organised crime to launder their profits.
The political parties have donors or MPs that are involved in this organised crime matrix, so local and national government policy is shaped by this, to favour the organised crime laundering operations.
Ever higher business rate, ever higher rents, basically government is squeezing legitimate business out of operation. It's come to the state of affairs that only fronts for illegal activity can afford to operate.
That's no way to run an economy.
The economy should be run in a way that encourages legitimate business to thrive, so anyone can have a go and try and rune a business, to be their own boss.
Right now the financial and regulatory framework disincentivises the creation of new businesses, and instead benefits established large businesses that can afford the overheads, or illegal front businesses that see the expenses as a cost off laundering money.
Then we get to the revelations that local and national government officials, Police and members of the judiciary are involved in child sex trafficking rings, or grooming gangs.
Yet more evidence of organised crime within the establishment.
The whole thing is just an organised crime racket. Those that benefit from the racket are ok. Those of us that aren't involved are just getting by.
As the US set a precedent with Maduro, if evidence could be found that our own government is involved in illegal activity, surely the precedent has now been set and our own government can be removed?
