Here's the thing about truth. He claimed in response to someone saying Daddy fixed him up with his career that his parents got divorced when he was 9. He's 34 now, so that would make it 1994 when his parents divorced. The trouble with that is that divorce didn't become legal in Ireland until 1996, with the first divorce in the country being granted in early '97. I merely asked was he sure of his dates, so he blocked me.

It's possible, but given the basic conflict of interests that Rabin has highlighted it's unlikely any publisher would touch it with a barge pole.

You’re obviously not trying hard enough.Great entertainment on Twitter today.
McKenna is back in the game and I've just been blocked by him for asking a simple question. It's only the second occasion I've ever been blocked on Twitter, the first was John Aldridge, I feel honoured.

I see Dr Duncan has joined the fray now. They’re having to call in favours to attack Rabin as they can’t manage it on their own
I see Dr Duncan has joined the fray now.
With egregious intellectual dishonesty (or, failing that, startling ineptitude), as shown below:
Rabin doesn't, as Duncan claims, say that he hasn't "worked in PR for Manchester City or UAE …", but that he hasn't "worked in PR or for Manchester City or UAE …" (my emphasis). It's a material omission because Duncan's wording is consistent with Rabin being a PR operative who's claiming never to have worked for City or the UAE, whereas Rabin's formulation expressly rules out working in PR as well as working for City or the UAE. In other words, it's much less "narrowly circumscribed" than is claimed. In my profession, if you can't accurately cite a quote despite having reproduced it immediately below, you wouldn't be well thought of.

I see rag cafe have picked up on this and of course believe every word these ****s have written.
These morons appear to be running scared of Rabin, when it's pretty obvious that he's just a fan who is pissed off with their egregious nonsense.
I would like to see how they'd react if City did actually decide to take action against some of them regarding their more outrageous claims.
