Why are the Metropolitan Police not feeling Tory Lord Sebastian Coe’s collar and trawling his hard drives? I blogged recently about his involvement in awarding the World Athletics Championships without a vote to the hometown of his long term paymasters and sponsors, Nike. Plus the £12 million his promotions company made from VIP hospitality packages for the Olympics, the VIP tickets for which were allocated by the Organising Committee of which he was the £600,000 pa chairman.
Now we have this, from the person Coe works closest with in the IAAF and who he has now promoted to head the President’s office since Coe assumed that title:
« Dear Papa,
Following our discussion earlier I have already had some thoughts and believe that we need to do the following, in the strict confidence and control within a small circle of senior IAAF staff only. This must be very secret.
(…)4. Finally, as soon as possible, and ‘unofficially’ PR campaign to ensure that we avoid international media scandals related to the Moscow Championships especially in the British press, where the worst of the articles is coming from. This will require specialist PR skills (working only with me directly) from London, but I believe that if we consider using CSM we can also benefit from Seb’s political influence in the UK. It is in his personal interest to ensure that the Moscow World Champs is a success and that people do not think that the media of his own country are trying to destroy it. We can work extremely hard in stopping any planed ‘attack’ on Russia from the British press in the coming weeks.
5. Finally, I need to be able to sit down with the Anti-doping department and understand exactly what Russian ‘skeleton’ we have still in the cupboard regarding doping. I think that the time to have unveiled the various athletes was a long time ago and that now we need to be smart. These athletes, of course, should NOT be part of any Russian team for these World Championships and Valentin should be pressurised to make sure this is the case. If the guilty ones are not competing then we might as well wait until the event is over to announce them. Or we announce one or two BUT AT THE SAME TIME as athletes from other countries. Also we can prepare a special dossier on IAAF testing which will show that one of the reasons why these Russian athletes come up positive is that they get tested a lot !!! In the same way, we can make the point that the WADA laboratory is the responsibility of WADA not IAAF and that if WADA decides there really is a problem, we have a plan B to do the tests in Lausanne instead (Gabriel confirmed this to me yesterday).
Papa, as soon as I have an idea of the price of this unofficial PR campaign I will let you know, but I will do everything in my power to protect the IAAF and the President.
All the best Nick »
So what does the Establishment now wish us to believe?
a) As long-term Vice President of the IAAF, Coe had no idea the organisation was massively corrupt and the President was taking huge bribes to cover-up doping scandals.
b) Coe had no idea his close associate and now head of his office Nick Davies was writing to the son of the President proposing that Coe’s company and Coe’s “political influence” be used to keep doping scandals out of the British media.
c) Coe’s meeting, while Vice President of the IAAF, with executives of his sponsor Nike, to discuss awarding the World Athletics Championships to Eugene, had no bearing at all on the decision of the President of IAAF to award the games to Eugene without a vote.
All that is even less convincing than Sepp Blatter’s declarations of innocence. Yet there is an utter difference in the British media’s treatment of Blatter and of “Lord” Coe.
I wonder why?
If you don’t say who you are, how can one satisfy the test ” that the plaintiff has to show is that the statement would lower his or her reputation in the eyes of right-thinking people.”?
Hate speech is of course another matter, but otherwise one advantage of posting under a real identity would be the ability to sue. Not something which I myself care about enough to break cover.
This is the “magnanimous” h….kuk it could have reported to the “higher authority” but didn’t really !!!!!!! Pull the other one, if you knew there is half percent of a chance you would have been squatting in the door way of whatever organisation to report at your earliest!!!
Criminal proceedings are not “legal action”

After right-thinking people had read her production on here over the last few years she would have no reputation left to lower.

Well, bodies like Searchlight can’t keep their eye on everything, can they – the internet’s a big place, capable of accomodating thousands and thousands of haters. All hate-combatting bodies rely to some extent on assistance from members of the general public. So it could not be bad, surely, to point them in the direction of the Dirty Dozen (plus the Emeritus people) on here? The same applies re other bodies of a more official nature of course.
Interesting to see one of the “Filthy Few” comment on haters, people living in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.

“Gambia appears to be taking a step into the modern world, by banning FGM. Anyone caught practicing the barbaric ritual will face stiff penalties, including 3 years imprisonment or a £34,000 fine.
“Gambian president Yahya Jammah, condemned the brutal practice. In 2010 FMG was carried out on nearly 80% of Gambian women and girls between the ages of 15 and 49, according to the charity…”
………………………………………………………….
Yes RoS it is a brutal and primitive practice based on culture and religion. It is a practice that must be condemned.
Having said that, it is rarely acknowledged that the practice of male genital mutilation (forced circumcision) is carried out, not only in Gambia and not only in Muslim communities but in other countries among other groups.

No Palestinian genocide whether fast or slow, MerkinScot.
Only a Israel hater would come out with that guff given the steady increase in the number of Arab citizens of Israel over the last 5O years.
The only slow genocide is the one you and your fellow Israel-haters are doing to this blog and its reputation 🙂
Nice provocation there, RoS, I was waiting for Mr Scorgie to bite.
Or perhaps you were just playing Jeff to Mr Scorgie’s Mutt?
Everyone note;
The above is the pitiful admission of a pusillanimous, wanton toady of all things zionist, if there ever was any need for one!!!
Recollecting the reply to data harvesting that the same acting rabbi retorted:
Feeling paranoid again, UpFed?
As in evidence this lying duplicitous operative who has been consistently bullying Mary and others, all the while screaming antisemi… at the blog owner and settling in his blog as the resident overseer and antisemi…. smeller pursuivant
What is the silly troll talking about?! (nothing, as usual)
2016 will be a great year because people are waking-up to the total bullshit and criminality peddled by their governments.
Lamposts? Hangings? No idea what that’s all about…

“Nice provocation there, RoS”

Oh, it’s not provocation Habb, just fact, lets not kid ourselves, you cant expect anyone to take you seriously over hating. When you yourself are a known hater.
Do you not see the sheer hypocrisy in you comment regarding haters on this blog.

You had better be very careful Habbabkuk. Many people on this blog have seen your hounding of Mary, including in the comments above. Some of us would, I am sure, be prepared to testify to this. I suggest you apologise and ask Mary’s forgiveness.

No response from the moderator so far, as expected.
As I said on 10 December, the moderation on here is indiscriminate and arbitrary. The trolls have taken the blog over.

You seem to forget that the accusation that sparked this tonight was made against me by Macky in the first place – I resent being labelled a troll or a bully especially by you.

I’m just back from a week in France – staying in a gite in fact. Let me just note that you obviously know very little about current French opinion – and I very much doubt that you have aired rather bizarre opinions with the locals.
Mary, we are at a crucial juncture here.
Your voice is needed amongst all the others.
Don’t pull out because of a bunch of totally pathetic trolls.
They are vermin, and they will be dealt with.
Habba
Please don’t be bullied by the current pack – they are all fart and wind. If they want to weigh up the abuse given out and received – including Rob G’s rather comical death threats – the balance is pretty clear.
