Favorite Quote

Britain is like a butler … If someone's rich, whether they're Chinese or Russian or whatever, and they need something done, or something hidden, or something bought, then Britain sorts that out for them … We're a butler, the butler to the world.

Oliver Bullough

Introduction

A butler is more than someone who serves drinks, answers calls, and opens the door to receive guests.

Butlers are indiscriminately respectful, discreet, and provide their wealthy employers with any service that's required — without asking questions.

Oliver Bullough is a British journalist and author whose work exposes financial crime and corruption.

In his 2022 book, Butler to the World, Bullough explains how, for nearly a century, Britain has offered financial services to ex-colonizers, criminals, and corrupt governments in exchange for generous fees.
