According to the Adam Smith Institute it is both legal and common in the UK to bribe planning authorities. I'm obviously persona non grata over there, because my comments are no longer being accepted. So once again, because in the name of liberty thtey are seeking to limit debate to the people who agree with them here is my comment on this.

I can't guarantee that is exactly the same as my original comment but close enough. The last time this happened the trackback was deleted too - lets see what happens this time.
I assume that this is some tabloid style attempt to attack the idea of developer contributions to infrastructure - or perhaps the fee to make a planning application - it isn't clear.
