What is a gift too far?
Ask FIFA - Sep Blatter is an expert on bribes - he's received enough of then.
Who is going to enforce the new Bribery law?
I have had particular problems reporting cases of commercial fraud to Police, and other authorities such as BIS, FSA, & SFO who are either not victim-friendly or actually have no responsibility for accepting cases from the Public - it seems that nobody wants to enforce the law, despite the law being introduced in 2007 (Fraud Act 2006) and being very good law.
The Bribery Act may be needed and well drafted, as the Fraud Act is and was, but who is going to enforce it, and give individuals a sense of support when they report bribery?
Does anybody want to admit that it is their job to deal with this particular law? Who will take responsibility for accepting reports of bribery from members of the Public and who will enforce this new law? I fear that it will be difficult to report ordinary cases, and in the end will become unenforced except in very select cases.

Bribery
Pity FIFA is not a registered body in the UK.
But does the EU not have tough bribery laws? Or is it again a gold plating in the UK of mild EU directives.
FIFA
Potential libel! Nothing has been proved re FIFA. Innocent until proven guilty. Sour grapes because the Russians got our World Cup and all they give us in return is their weather!
Bribbery - FIFA
Caan you prove that Seb Blatter took any bribe. Our reaction is sending a wrong message to the rest world. We are behaving as if we don't have bribery and corruption here. Johnson & Johnson and Balfour Beatty comes to mind. Every form of bribery is wrong.
FIFA has made the decision and so we should all support these Countries to do well, I remember when South Afica was awarded the opportunity to host the World Cup, if we had gone by what the British press were saying, the event would have been a flop but they organised an excellent event to the shame of those doomsayers. We are at it again, have we asked ourselves why England got only 2 votes despite all the supposed promises and please don't blame the journalists.
World Cup in Wales?
CD, you have just blown any chance Wales might have had of hosting the World Cup. Mr Blatter will now say to his committee as they prepare to vote "Gentlemen, do not forget the evils of the Welsh Dragon".
