I wouldn't say anything in the UK is on the same level as its US equivalent. It's one of the more fascinating aspects of America-watching is the sheer ambition of the venality on display. Your lot get bought for millions in pretty amazing kickback schemes, the British lot seem happy with a small brown paper bag of tenners pushed at them in a pub. It's so petty and squalid in comparison.

But Guido Fawkes is referenced by most of the Westminster media in the same way Drudge is.

The sad thing is that, with Drudge aiming to become a more international news source, his site has probably become more fair to the Democrats than most of the traditional press.

Or

Have you seen this Jack Abramoff scandal in the states?  Fockin' 'ell, when you do corruption, you put us to shame.  It's brilliant! He's even got the trench coat and the hat!

as a friend of mine over there put it.

It's true.  Don't come trying to buy an American politician unless you're carrying at least a few mill for that politician and a few mill for various causes/candidates on top of that.

That's why we run the world and not you lazy Brits.
