Bribery and Corruption
A highly valued sense of fairness is probably the reason why the British are an honest nation with relatively low levels of corruption. This has been confirmed in a recent report (2012) by the Global Coalition against Corruption, Transparency International and the United Kingdom has regularly ranked in the top 10% in the International Corruption Perception Index, which compares countries from all over the world.
Bribery and corruption are generally taken very seriously in the United Kingdom and the chances of a bribe being accepted are very low. The risks are too high and it is strongly advisable not to try to bribe anyone.
