Trouble is Doodsy the folk who demand the bribes never do get banged up, and the "few pounds" you mention do, in reality, amount to billions. I don't think any of us would mind losing " a few pounds" IF it stopped the corruption but it just won't. As you yourself know it is rife in many parts of the World and I too have witnessed the poverty and deprivation (and the " fines"!!). I'm not saying it is right, far from it, but banging up the odd few bods ain't ever going to scratch the surface. For many of the poverty stricken bribery is their only income, witness the slaughter of game for gain in Africa and being forced to act as drug "mules".
