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?
Nationalist MP, Dr Lisa Cameron, has been accused of shameless hypocrisy for campaigning against the sell-off of social housing while she herself has five ex council houses in her £628,000 portfolio of properties she rents out.

“Well that’s swell, my post quoting the moderating rules at a blatant Habba Sock Puppet has itself gone into moderation !”
It hasn’t “gone into moderation ” you retarded jenny. You were DELETED.
Are you going to flounce off too with your life-jacket?
Language Fred. Jim Henson would be turning in his grave…
Mods, the wicked witch might have been banned for a week (think Habba in drag)…

… but what news on Craig, who hasn’t made a post here for a while now?
^Craig will post as soon as the reshuffle is over.
Last night, the MP insisted she had told voters she had her own business before the election. ‘But I don’t think I said I had six houses. I said I had a business,’ she said. ‘I didn’t buy the properties under right-to-buy. Other people have bought them previously, years ago, probably when I was at university. We are in a different situation now.
At that point there was a lot of council housing available.’ She added: ‘I treat my tenants with the utmost respect. People are happy with my flats. I charge a market rate for my properties in East Kilbride.’ Dr Cameron went on: ‘My husband looks after [the properties] now that I am in Westminster. He tidies them up. They are my properties, he looks after them.
An SNP spokesman said: ‘Dr Cameron has declared her interests in line with the rules. The properties were not purchased from the local authority and include, for instance, a flat which Dr Cameron inherited.
As usual with Dacres Daily Mail, which is completely anti-SNP, you need to read right to the end of the biased story to get the truth.
But I suppose desperate unionists will embrace any story that equals #SNPBAD.
Talk of the Village Idiot !
Your Krishnamurti ESP is letting you down again as my Post is clearly displaying “Your comment is awaiting moderation”, so best sit facing the wall with your fellow retard Fred.
“fellow retard Fred”
Fuck off and die retard cunt.
Jenny the jackass suggest you stay affixed on your screen. Read my lips, your post has been DELETED. Consider it a warning from the Mods, unless you are prepared to flounce off too. 😉
Alcyone; “Consider it a warning from the Mods”
So you presume to speak for the Mods now ? Will they ever live down the embarrassment !
I know your’re all stressed-out & in mourning, but do try to stay grounded ! 😀
What reshuffle?
@Lysias, this reshuffle;
http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-35220413
Lysias, Jeremy Corbyn is in the midst of reshuffling his Shadow Cabinet:

Ooooooh look at Macky just dying to be noticed. Will people please share alittle love with this depraved jenny?
“At that point there was a lot of council housing available.’ She added: ‘I treat my tenants with the utmost respect. People are happy with my flats. I charge a market rate for my properties in East Kilbride.’ Dr Cameron went on: ‘My husband looks after [the properties] now that I am in Westminster. He tidies them up. They are my properties, he looks after them.”
I’m sure she does treat her tenants with the utmost respect but she also charges them a market rate considerably higher than someone in a comparable council house would be paying. Her husband was declared bankrupt less than three years ago running a business which traded in her name.
The SNP won seats on a holier than thou whiter than white ticket claiming to be without the sleaze of the other parties yet we have two SNP MPs being investigated by the police for property fraud and missing campaign funds, Philip Boswell being investigated by the standards watchdog and just last month admitting some dodgy tax dealings now another scandal and the same old excuses.
How long can the nationalists keep pretending they aren’t just more of the same old same sleazeball politicians?
another day another discrimination, in the “only democracy in the mid east, milky way, and the galaxy:
zionistani passengers refuse to take off with Palestinians on board delaying flight from Greece
Note the sense of entitlement, even though the poor Palestinians have been kicked off the flight:
Perhaps the Mods could explain why Macky is allowed to throw around insults in a manner that gets others banned?
I did laugh at Macky complaining about JSD not attributing his quotes after he had been found out for copying posts from a former contributor without any attribution whatsoever. There is a word for such behaviour.
Btw, I quite liked this crack from Cameron at parliament today:
“Never mind how many Eagles we end up with – I think we’ve all worked out they’ve got an albatross at the head of their party!”
A long last a US Presidential candidate for those commenters who admire Putin

Mods, the site is responding very slowly again?
I make no bones about missing Habby’s wit, lateral-thinking, and pertinent/pointed questions.
Of course readers are aware he himself has been variously called a “Hasbara agent, corporate shill, supporter of torture (herbie), clown, fascist, troll, GCHQ employee, vermin…. ”
Just sayin’….all water off a duck’s back of course.
Resident Dissident; “I did laugh at Macky complaining about JSD not attributing his quotes”
Rational comprehension skills are known not to be your strong point, as you prove yet again !
Anyone who wonders who on this site has used the word “troll” most often is invited to do a google search on “trolls eminences site:craigmurray.org.uk”
Resident Dissident; “Perhaps the Mods could explain why Macky is allowed to throw around insults in a manner that gets others banned?”
Perhaps the Mods could explain why Resident Dissident is allowed to throw around a one-sided version of an exchange of insults in an attempt to get me on moderation ?
Alcyone; “I make no bones about missing Habby’s wit,”
Prefect, and too funny ! If only you could see my moderated comment just before that comment ! 😀
So…All this Fighting.. Sit you down together. let the first stone Be thrown.. Physically
We should Learn from Glen And Herbie’s Confab i would like to think that’s exactly how Craig would like his free Speech blog to work
The ingrained Hatred of them –
When the team realized that the Israelis were set on continuing their protest, they offered the two Palestinian passengers a night in a hotel and the same flight the following day. The passengers agreed and exited the flight.
Nevertheless, the Israeli passengers demanded an additional security check of the plane.
The captain informed the passengers that they were free to leave the flight, without compensation from Aegean Airline.
The Israeli passengers went back to their seats and the plane took off.

“Prefect, and too funny ! If only you could see my moderated comment just before that comment ! 😀 ”
Alas, I shall have to stay content with seeing your gaping jenny/jackass grin 😉
Re JSD, Macky drop it. He’s waaaaay too subtlle for you.
