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?
“Rob G distributes death threats with gay abandon”
In describing them as “rather comic” you’ve colluded in an irony defence.
JSD
This isn’t a civil matter. It’s potentially a criminal matter.
The record will show that she ignored the abuse for quite some time.
Anyway, Habby contributes very little of political import.
It’s mostly personal abuse, and the record will show that as well.
That’s why he was banned, along with Alcyone and Anon1, Alcyone for personal abuse and Anon1 for racist abuse.
It’s about time this nonsense was brought to a head.

Some souls are more delicate and others – and irony is something that is often lacking, or is applied very selectively, by many here!

It is precisely because of my regard for Mary that it is important to be realistic. I certainly do not know that she would not succeed. I do not wish her to be buoyed up by the good wishes of people on here and confident of her success – and then to fail. And in all honesty, I can’t say that I do not regard this as the most likely outcome, because I am afraid that I do.
Certainly Mary should go to the police if she feels she has been criminally wronged. They are the proper people to give her advice. But she needs to go with the whole story, warts and all, not just the bits that are in her favour.
Kind regards,
John
Yeah, but it’s you saying it’s rather comic.
“It’s about time this nonsense was brought to a head.”
Who do you think you are to play judge and jury on someone else blog – where is your evidence of the abuse and that Mary ignored it for quite some time? Challenging someone’s politics and views does not constitute abuse – despite you and others thinking that any challenge to the prevailing views of certain commenters amounts to abuse and therefore can be immediately responded to in what you belive to be in kind.
“If people look very closely they will note that I never attacked Mary for pointing out the many injustices faced by the Palestinian people – although I might point out that similar injustices were faced by Israelis.”
So there was something equal to the genocide of Palestinians perpetrated against Israel? I think not. Yesterday I posted the video of a man (who I presume to be Palestinian) and questioned how many cowardly Israeli Defence Force soldiers with guns does it take to bludgeon to death an unarmed Palestinian?

Rest in Peace Shadi el Ghobashi.
It is not a matter of rights and wrongs on both sides but the proportions. Ask former Telegraph reporter and political editor Peter Oborne.
Yeah, but it’s you saying it’s rather comic.
Because it is to me – but different people perceive things differently. Just imagine if this blogs Sinatra was to be given comic death threats what the reaction would be?
So there was something equal to the genocide of Palestinians perpetrated against Israel? I think not.
I never said it was – but you cannot ignore the terrorist attacks against civilian Israelis either if you are really interested in peace.
The evidence that she ignored the abuse for some time is in the record.
It’s as simple as that, and should it be necessary to produce it that can be done.
That’s the point.
So far as these “rather comic” French Revolutionary death threats are concerned, my only point here is that you certainly can’t be said to take them as other than jokes.
What others do is up to them.
I think they’re a bit weird, and he should stop it, but I don’t take them seriously either.

There was that case where some cops had someone prosecuted for asking whether their horse was gay.
The bar is therefore very low, as with any such fascist instrument.
But, had one of these cops said that the remark was “rather comic” then it could not have proceeded at all.
“I never said it was – but you cannot ignore the terrorist attacks against civilian Israelis either if you are really interested in peace.”
I agree.
Habbabkuk, and others, should apologise to Mary, and not let it happen again.
I have a bit of fun with him with the Noddy stuff, but we are men and are probably expected to be tougher in such situations. He likened me to Joseph Stalin for many months before that. I just put it down to puerility prior to puberty.
I watched certain elements on here continually harrass her even knowing that she was ill. That in itself is psychological torture, knowing someone is facing a serious operation, but still persisting in the abuse. What is wrong with people like that? There are things beyond my comprehension.
I like it. What do bent lawyers always do ? Complicate matters. A couple of years ago my close non-Muslim family had been befriended by a Muslim Brotherhood friend of mine, behind my back, after I had introduced him to them. He manipulated their latent prejudices against Islam to the point that they consulted a bent provincial solicitor to take action against me. Oh yes, the Archers has nothing on the Muslim Brotherhood for manipulation of the truth.
Anyway, being the chief carer of my mother at that time I had a key to her house. I woke up early one morning and went with my wife to her home in order to make peace. There on the kitchen sideboard was the most untrue and one-sided letter from the solicitor to my mum extolling all the family and denigrating me. So there’s nothing you can’t tell me about lawyers and their shit-stirring; see also above the helpful advice of JSD.
That is how I managed to identify the Muslim Brotherhood as a parallel freemasonry in the Muslim world to the small provincial world ( London being the most provincial community of all ) inhabited by shills like JSD. What do they shill for? The organisation of power through secrecy. Not for nothing has the ex=al qaida imam called London the nest of spies. It’s the stitch-up capital of the world, hosting victims of political abuse from round the globe who the colonialist in Whitehall can use against the legitimate rulers of the globe.
The role of the CM blog, as Fedup accurately points out, and why CM is allowed to publish it at all, is so that information trails can be harvested. The colonial political machine is like the water supplier network, constantly leaking and being repaired. The trolls are potholes, which break your suspension, and cause you to complain. Bent solicitors are un-maintained flood barriers that eventually cause raw sewage to rise up in your home.
I would feel so honoured, if sewage was in my front room, to have a corrupt politician, who pays Islamic State and Al Qaida to molest the Muslims around the world, fly in by chopper and sympathise. It would be like the creme de la creme, to have the organiser of 11 (actually much higher) million homeless come and patronise my tiny problems. As for JSD, who has chosen to enact ‘unequal laws’ over a ‘savage race’ which we non-old-etonians are deemed to be, it’s like the chief executive of the envronment agency flying back at the end of his holiday. Wildest dreams reality.
Herbie, thanks for that.
It reminds me of my ex, whose family had a picture of horses in the downstairs toilet, along with the smell of imperial leather soap. I had noticed over the years I was her boyfriend that there was a smear on the glass, something like a horse erection, or was it just my mind? so one day I cleaned it off with tissue.
Not for long, It reappeared after a few days. But still I didn’t realise who was the perpetrator. Anyway she’s got a new boyfriend now, shortly after proclaiming celibacy.
I think she was the originator of the phrase ’50 shades of grey’.

“Habbabkuk, and others, should apologise to Mary, and not let it happen again.”
That’s like trying to stop the raw sewage by blocking up the toilet bend. Eventually the screws holding it down will loosen and the whole thing rise up one meter high. Hopefully you’re not sitting on it at the time.
It’s in the nature of b(l)ogs to give rise to abuse. I think, apart from my ex, men are better at being ahead of the curve (bend) than women. Maybe not – Nuland: fuck the EU
Sailing by, to the image of John Goss riding the flood on his toilet like the cavalry. Sorry.

One thing I did do by way of advancing my classical studies while I was in Berlin was to buy an unabridged Liddell/Scott Greek-English lexicon at the NAAFI book store in Berlin/Charlottenburg. A book that was thereafter with me in Oxford and then in my graduate studies in the U.S., and that I still have with me in my apartment.

Don’t you just love lawyers?
In a few short paragraphs JSD explains why Mary was not at liberty to challenge the stalker troll for his deeply intrusive bad manners; why she , rather than he, had broken the rules of blog law taking a counter-swipe at his abusive comments, and why she, rather than he, has lost the battle by withdrawing her labour, hours of research and creative writing.
it reminds me of the Jeremy Hunt and the Junior doctors: every time the troll was kicked back into respect he immediately reneged and launched another attack.

There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that politics is infinitely dirtier, more devious and more secretive than any filthy words I or anybody else could put together to describe it. When I say that UK imams occupy comfortable armchairs up the rectums of all three main political parties, rectums are well-maintained, functional systems, operating on the automatic side of our God-given metabolism.
Not so the skullduggeries of Tory bullying, or New Labour rebellion by MPs who have for years subscribed to the collective party will under Tony Blair. Where’s that gone under Jeremy Corbyn? Arseholes, and yet arseholes are, thanks to the automatic system designed by our Creator, generally a great deal cleaner than most politicians or lawyers.
When our constitutional leaders address eachother as Honourable, it is not because they are intrinsically honourable, but because they have subjected themselves to an honourable institution with rules and oversight. What William Blake describes as ‘chartered’ is the concept of bought justice instead of natural justice. The figure of Urizen divides time and space with masonic dividers. It is a powerful image of the tentacles of the law which has remained with me from the first time I saw it.

William Blake Songs of Innocence and Experience
I wander thro’ each charter’d street,
Near where the charter’d Thames does flow.
And mark in every face I meet
Marks of weakness, marks of woe.
In every cry of every Man,
In every Infants cry of fear,
In every voice: in every ban,
The mind-forg’d manacles I hear
Giyane
Indeed – and a huge irony that his vision of “Jerusalem” is so popular with people engaging in the mind forged manacles of marriage.
“The evidence that she ignored the abuse for some time is in the record.”
Then you should be able to point to it quite easily.
and for the record this is complete bollocks and sophistry of the worst kind for which the bully concerned should apologise.

I also note fro the record that when I, Habba or Anon1 are not around that many here will still make unprovoked attacks on us – the evidence is legion. Typical bullies behaviour I’m afraid – most bullies are also cowards.
