Recenzii
A clear and compelling analysis of corruption in Britain today. Required reading for anyone who cares about how democracy works - both as a warning and a call to action
This wonderful, highly readable and impassioned book should act as a wake-up call for all of us
Neither alarmist nor complacent, this is an authoritative exploration of the state of corruption in the UK - and how we can rebuild our defences against it.
A chilling indictment of Britain's corruption complicity and complacency
A tour de force. With forensic skill and eye for the killer detail, Barrington dissects the rot at the heart of British public life - and what we can do to clean it up. A must read for anyone who cares about integrity in our politics
Powerful and empowering. Barrington joins the dots to show that corruption in the UK is much more embedded and pernicious than we like to think, while also revealing the strengths we might draw on to fight back. A superb accomplishment
One of our leading experts in anti-corruption makes a case we can no longer ignore. Let Robert Barrington be your guide on a tour of scandals with a distinctly British aroma
An eye-opening and timely wake up call. Based on expert research, Barrington's book punches through the complacency and naivety that has led far too many of us to assume - wrongly, it turns out - that Britain isn't a corrupt country
A thought-provoking and timely exposé of corruption in the UK, and why it matters
A compelling and highly readable account of how corruption pervades every aspect of life in the UK and how rarely there is any accountability for those who engage in it ... An important and timely book that should be on the reading list of any politician
Corrupted Kingdom should be required reading. Britons like to kid themselves corruption happens overseas, the smug belief that the United Kingdom enjoys some kind of moral exceptionalism still hold sway. "Not so," writes Barrington. In dispassionate, non-emotive language, he pulls the alarm cord, while explaining what can be done to avoid driving off the approaching cliff. His advice needs to be taken
If we are to regain our reputation for the rule of law, we need urgently to read this book and learn the lessons. Otherwise, as Barrington warns, we could face a "silent spring" of corruption in this country
