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?
Node; “Are you jealous of the respect she gets from other posters?”
The real trolls of course have another reason, but for the rest of Mary obsessives that’s it in a nutshell, all the pathological hatred, basically the green eyed monster; so pityful.
@Lysias, I sympathise in having one of the Axis of the Dim snapping at your ankles; this particular dimwit has been banned several times, yet keeps coming back, and is now trying to preach respect for the Mods !! 😀
Mary’s comments were very appropriate for this blog. Very British, and also liberal. Much as Craig is.
Alcyone, I presume you’re writing that from your cupboard under the stairs, where you have spare batteries for your torch and a chemical toilet, which no doubt you have to use frequently every time you listen to a news bulletin.
You lot are all going to be put on trial; that is, if you don’t die of guilt beforehand.
Ganlion, maybe it’s time to bring up Mary’s final comment to the effect she has an email from way-back from Craig asking her to stay. What could she have meant?
Could it be that she thought the special squatting ‘seat’ that you are keeping ‘warm’ was a Licence from Craig?
I hope the seat is as dry as it is warm 😉 (Macky Jenny please note this is the way to smile not your ninny’s grin, but then maybe you’re missing Ishmael? LOFL

Shit floats, so we’ll still be on top.
Frankly, Mary made a mistake in leaving in a huff. The degree of reaction has shown in itself that she is appreciated.
Mary’s comments were Mary’s work of the idle, bored, clueless and unthinking.
I asked, Sir did you read her comments for enjoyment? Do you know the meaning of Joy? Can you contrast it to happiness. Its not a standard stiff-upper-lip British, Russian or Chinese question, or answer.
I am simply asking you to consider the profound meaning of Joy and then apply it to this Blog or indeed pedestrians on the stree or your average Joe and consider the Type Zero Global Civilisation we live in as Medieval Man, ass or Jenny.
For God’s sake stop reading throw away your books and learn NOW to think for YOUR SELF!
Alcyone, just out of interest, what is your opinion of posters using sock-puppets on this blog?
Ganglion are aware of the so-called sock-puppet policy here?
MODS
Alcyone = Fwl
Why Be, I should think Robbie will probably be affixed to a cross if he behaves with his French neighbours the way he does here or is he a Lone Nutter?
I gave up French when I was 13 ..The choice was – you either do French or Science (my Mum was brought up as a Peasent Girl in Northern France after the first world war…though she was born in London…I was born in Oldham). They had already tried to make a Roman Catholic Priest out of Me – at the age of 10…I gave up that too…then My Dad tried to Kill Himself in front of my Eyes when I was 15 years old..I thought FFS..I Will Do Science Instead..
You Religious Nuts are a Bunch of Fucking Lunatics..and I couldn’t give a shit what Nonsense You Believe in…
But my question is – We have These Jehovars Witnesses coming round….what brand are they..I always assumed they were Christian…but I read the word Jehovar in some Jewish stuff (in a book actually last night)
We have helped got our friend released from the cult (he was only 18) – though he had to lose his wife on the way (his new wife is lovely – they invited us to their wedding)…but I always thought the Jehovar’s Witnesses were Christian..Are They Jewish?? I don’t know (he’s a great guitarist by the way).
He is also a Brilliant Carpenter (Craftsman) and a Lovely Man..he might be Jewish – it doesn’t really matter..its just a label of no substance. He was born in London brought up CofE so far as I know. He has an exceedingly large number of Children for a man his age..O.K ..he might be Catholic(and didn’t use a Condom)…I never asked him….and he comes over all shy..but dead nice..you know the type…

@Alcyone (Respect for Mods ;-), remind me again who was it that had so much “respect for the Mods”, that he resorted to bombarding Craig with emails to have his ban revoked, and then started threatening the Mods by trying to get the Police involved ?!! 😀 😀
Finally you forced to ditch your “Villager” moniker, and sneaked back as “Alcyone”, that’s how much respect you have for the moderation & the Mods here !! 😀 😀
Ganglion, you poor soul, I genuinely feel for you if that’s how neurotic you have become. Exorcise yourself of Mary’s spirit this “Christmas”. Or just exercise, you have a lot of demons, fear to release. I’ll be linking some Krishnamuti videos when the mood strikes.
😉
Actually I think he got the lamppost idea from his French neighbors “ca ira”!
“Frankly: Mary, come back. I always enjoyed your comments.”

Ça Ira:
^ That fits. Was it you Why Be who once asked Robbie how many arrests had been made on the day?
Which reminda me Ganglion did not post Israeli atrocities DEc 17-19 and 21-22. No slacking! Or was Mary’s seat a bit damp?
Saudi Arabia is launching a new 24 hour news service, called SAUDINEWS, which is available in the UK on the Astra 19,2 degrees and Hotbird 13,0 degrees satellites.
Once again it’s Christmas, so I’m not going to steam in here.
Love your police state, and love all those who enable it, even when they come to take you away.

Cheers Tony, that’s a fascinating link, especially with regard to the role of the Russian central bank. I have no idea just how much is the ‘truth’ rather then opinion but it’s definitely challenging to read so much plausible new stuff on an old subject. Thanks.
I’ve mentioned I’m reading Michael Hudson’s Killing the Host: How Financial Parasites and Debt Bondage Destroy the Global Economy. This review by Pam Martin gives a good summary of what the book is about: Michael Hudson: Wall Street Parasites Have Devoured Your Retirement Plan and the U.S. Economy. I should have finished reading the book by Christmas or so.
Macky the Jenny, I’m one that’s not missing Mary one bit.
After all, I got you Babe:

^which reminds me I’m wracking my brains to find this old song which goes Baby come back, Baby please come bacl etc. Any music masterminds here?

“No, it’s not clear why Mary left, as is evident from the competing theories.”
__________________
It was clear enough from her post. Why don’t you re-read it and get clear?
The “competing theories” are just mischievious bullshit.
^ Quite right Habby, posts, i should say several over 2 days if i recall.
So, while browsing I came across this song, i think a cover of Bob Dylan
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ybEVq4vkWc
I didn’t know Sonny and Cher had done a cover of his too! Anyway, what a chick this Cher. Nothing beats rock-chicks. Sorry Jenny political babes are not my thing. I prefer the ones that don’t play games, especially little games.
Lysias my Dad was in the Good War not the Cold, also based in Berlin, Occupied Germany, Squadron Leader, RAF. Unfortunately I lost him when I was 3 years old–free issue of cigarettes during the War killed him eventually. Good looking guy, pictures from that time had him surrounded by 5 good-looking blue-eyed “Aryan” (teasing, but true) babes.
There’s been many great couples in history, Antony & Cleopatra, Napoleon & Josephine, Pocahontas & John Smith, etc, but nothing like this blog’s great romance of Alcyone/Villager & Habbabkuk, unfortunately it’s only one that is doing all the loving, the other is doing all the taking,; so let’s take a momemt to acknowledge Alcyone/Villager’s plight 😀
