Adam. It exists and it is a closed circuit. If it were not: A. You would know.B. Others would know. C. Because of A & B It simply would not happen so often.It's quite probable Adam, that you are a person of good character, strong morals and personality. These are the last people that those up to no good or complicit would ever want to bring into the fold.I was once at a boardroom retirement soiree many years ago, the CEO stood amongst directors and waxed lyrical about a senior executive. "I brought her in for her brilliant criminal mind. Brilliant criminals, never get caught." Several years later..she eventually did. But only because her cover was eroded by big changes. Then there are those who are bullied into carrying out, or not caring out orders. Turning a blind eye. or risk the possibility of retarding their careers. For a mainstream example, Jimmy Savile & Co and the BBC. Plenty knew, no-one spoke out.Or the silent manipulation, the quiet word, the career promise.This country has a very well recorded history of that, especially in Authorities and the NHS.People who knew and said nothing. And people who did not know and should have known, but were kept in the dark.As for collusion between law enforcement and officialdom. Politicians deny it goes on . But it does. A former commander of this Borough in recent memory.Corruption does not mean backhanders. It's far wider than that.And just look what happens to those who do stand up and expose it or simply oppose it.For many it means nothing, a phone box in a place they never go to, a place they don't live in, an address on a bit of paper, a box on a set of plans.Far easier to just do what one is told, even if it does seem a bit odd.
