The candy stores of Oxford Street

Am I missing something fundamental here? What have London sweet shops got to do with UK government spending? Rents on Oxford Street, perhaps? Or is this a foreign key problem?

EDIT: I think the parent poster has added a last line to clarify, or maybe I missed it to begin with. Makes sense now.

The suggestion is that they are fronts for money laundering which would normally be investigated by the government (HMRC I guess?), but isn't being due to underfunding.

The government needs to spend money on the judicial system, otherwise we can't prosecute criminals and society is infested with them.
