Reborn as a police officer in South Africa

It is normal for politicians to accept political donations, and it is normal for various foundations to donate to politicians. However, if it is an American foundation donating to a British parliamentarian, then this is very abnormal.

Political donations are all for profit. If you take other people's money, you have to do things for them. If you break the rules, you will not be able to survive in this industry.

So what does the Rockefeller Foundation hope to gain from Abe Hamlet by donating money to his office?

Think of Abe Hamlet's proposal in Congress to grant the title of "honorary white man" to the Chinese in southern Africa.

It’s scary to think about it carefully.

It seems that Americans are also very capable of mixing sand, and they are indeed worthy of being father-in-law.

“My office has never received a donation of one hundred thousand dollars,” Abe Hamlet argued.

“Of course, this donation will be remitted to your account in the form of pounds.” Willy Barry pressed forward.

 “Don’t talk nonsense, there is no such thing” Hamlet resisted.

“Then do you dare to disclose your account?” Barry chased him fiercely.

 “It’s boring, I don’t want to talk to you, what you say is not the truth” Hamlet wanted to run away.

 “Don’t try to run away from Hamlet, explain this problem clearly, what happened to that donation?” Robin Chelsea hasn’t left yet, with a look of revenge.

 “Yes, explain this problem clearly, otherwise you will never leave”

 “Why do Americans give you money? Have you betrayed the British Empire?”

 “Don’t ask if there are any, be confident and boldly ask how many!”

 The audience at Speakers’ Corner is not that easy to fool. Those who have the time and ability to participate in such activities are mostly interested in it and will not let Hamlet off easily.

“I said, I didn’t, this guy is talking nonsense!” Hamlet denied three times. He really didn’t dare to just walk away like that.

Don’t forget that London is the capital of the United Kingdom, the most virtuous place under the emperor’s feet. Chelsea is also the rich area of ​​London. The people living here are either rich or noble. There were several old nobles and even a member of the House of Lords present.

, if Hamlet cannot give a reasonable explanation, then Hamlet will wait for the sanction of the House of Lords.

Even though the House of Lords has lost most of its power, in fact the influence of the House of Lords on the UK cannot be ignored. Many members of the House of Commons are themselves the white gloves of the nobles of the House of Lords.

 Including many Labor MPs.

This is not surprising. The aristocracy has penetrated the British Empire pervasively. The great aristocrats are also great businessmen, with numerous family properties and strong economic strength. Although Lloyd George ranks third in the historical ranking of British Prime Ministers, second only to

Attlee and Churchill were both fools.

When Lloyd George was in power, the domestic and international situation faced by Britain became increasingly worse. Therefore, when Lloyd George weakened the power of the House of Lords, the nobles in the House of Lords followed suit and transferred most of their power to the House of Commons and retreated behind the scenes.

Remote control of Britain.

This makes the nobles in the House of Lords very happy. The power lies with the House of Commons, so the responsibility for the poor development of the UK lies with the House of Commons. If the country develops well, the nobles in the House of Lords are the biggest beneficiaries.

“You have, do you think you can hide it from the public by setting up your account in Switzerland? It’s a dream,” Barry continued to reveal that it is also a routine practice to deposit property that is not convenient for disclosure in a Swiss bank.

The "Swiss Banking Law" stipulates that banks must keep confidential their dealings with customers and their property status to third parties. Violators will not only bear relevant civil liabilities, but also be subject to criminal law sanctions in serious cases. This makes people from

Customers from all over the world can safely store their property in a Swiss bank or entrust it to handle related business without worrying about being informed by a third party.

 This regulation is indeed an insight into human nature, firmly grasps the weaknesses of human nature, and makes people have no choice but to obey.

However, this is not absolute. If you walk too much at night, you will always overturn. In recent years, Swiss banks have experienced serious incidents of leaking customer information many times, and their credibility has been greatly affected.

 The “recent years” refers to the period after the end of World War I.

 Before the outbreak of World War I, Swiss banks were known for their absolute confidentiality to clients, and many wealthy people deposited their money in Swiss banks.

 As a result, a world war broke out. Many clients of Swiss banks died during the world war. Their properties became a mystery, and their relatives and even their children had no way of knowing.

 At this time, if you want to take money away from Swiss banks, the "Swiss Banking Law" becomes the best excuse. God knows how much money Swiss banks made through the world war.

 This situation attracted the attention of European countries. Under joint pressure from Britain and France, Swiss Bank had to hand over part of its customer information, with a total assets of more than 100 million pounds.

These are only customers from Britain and France, and only part of them. The world war caused the direct destruction of the Ottoman Empire and the Austro-Hungarian Empire. How many other customers are from the Ottoman Empire and the Austro-Hungarian Empire?

 This question may never have an answer.

 “Nonsense, I don’t have a Swiss bank account at all” Hamlet firmly denied.

This matter must not be admitted, otherwise it will not only be a matter of benefit transmission, but concealing income will be investigated by the British tax department.

And once the tax authorities intervene, Hamlet will have to shed his skin even if he dies.

“Then can you explain why you went to Switzerland in March this year?” Barry was not in a hurry, peeling off Hamlet layer by layer like an onion.

"I am going on holiday, it is my right." Hamlet looked livid. He now realized that if he did not ask for permission, his political career might be over.

"Oh, I almost forgot, you also have a holiday villa in the Alps. It seems that the salary given to you by the Parliament is really good." Barry teased. The salary of British MPs is indeed very high, about 50 times the income of ordinary people.

It's about 100%, but it's not high enough to buy a vacation villa in the Alps.

The Alps is the top resort in Europe. The average British aristocrats have to rent a house to live in the Alps for vacation. Hamlet bought it directly, and his economic strength is still very strong.

 “The money to buy the villa was earned by my business.” The panic in Hamlet’s eyes flashed away.

"You lost 150,000 pounds in 1913 and almost filed for bankruptcy that year. Later, you partnered with others to mine the Cardiff coal mine. Your shares only accounted for 10%. Your coal mine has been closed due to the coal miners' strike.

Where do you get your income? Do you pay taxes?" Barry's questions became more and more pointed, and Hamlet looked horrified.

  Unless the power of the state is used, the Swiss Bank will indeed not hand over Hamlet's account.

However, tax payment records can be checked. The British tax department has always been very strict in supervising the rich. After all, even if the poor are taxed to death, it will be difficult to squeeze out too much money.

It was only then that Hamlet noticed that Jackson Swinburne, the deputy commissioner of the London Local Revenue Service, was at the scene.

When Barry asked if he had paid taxes, Jackson Swinburne whispered something to a young man next to him. The young man looked at Hamlet with a mocking look, stood up and left.

"I have paid tax on every penny of my income. This is well documented and you have no right to ask me these questions. If you want to interview me, then make an appointment in my office." Hamlet's alarm bells ring.

, pushing away the person in front of me and wanting to leave.

 “Stop, you haven’t answered the question yet!”

“Mr. Congressman, are you going to run away like a lost dog?”

 “You hikenout!”

The audience was talking a lot, and some people were shouting curses.

Hikenout means cowardly in English, and by extension means "white-feathered chicken." This was a way for the British feminist movement to humiliate men who seemed healthy but did not go to the front during World War I.

During the World War, some British women used white feathers to insult men in order to encourage British men to go to the front line. They stuck white feathers on men in person, or put them in letters and sent them to men. This was the so-called "White Feather Movement".

Without living in that era, it is difficult to understand the humiliation this behavior brings to men. Hundreds of men committed suicide because they could not bear the humiliation, and some were even children who were not yet adults.

Before World War I, the British were still very bloody. Most of the men who did not join the army stayed in the UK because they failed to pass the physical examination.

The hateful thing about British women’s rights is that even those wounded soldiers who returned to the British mainland to recuperate as long as there are no injuries visible on the surface, they still send them home.

So much so that the British government designed a silver brooch to prove their identity to protect wounded soldiers from harassment.

 Politicians are always thick-skinned.

Hamlet didn't care at all about the audience's questions and insults, and was eager to escape from the speaker's corner that he had been addicted to in the past.

 “Wait a moment, Mr. Hamlet,” Swinburne stopped Hamlet.

“Haha, Lord Swinburne, good morning, I’m in a hurry now, we’ll talk later.” Hamlet tried his best to smile. The tax collector could not offend easily.

"No, I don't want to chat with you, but I want to ask you some tax questions. You can refuse, but the next time I look for you, I will bring a police search warrant and a court summons." Swinburne.

Those words made Hamlet shudder. He dared to evade taxes and was really brave.

Hamlet was dumbfounded. He still hasn’t figured out how things could have evolved to this point.

“Congressman Hamlet, if I want to interview you now, do I still need to go to your office to make an appointment?” Barry put his hands in the pockets of his vest, looking relaxed.

"Of course, I welcome your appointment at any time." Hamlet said fiercely, speaking out one word after another through his teeth. Let alone an interview, he really wanted to bite Barry.
