Further shite from Ratboy on Sky News. As if Sky Sports haven't given him a platform already.

Just had the misfortune of watching that, had to turn over, that soppy cow inteviewing Ratty was Adams Apple deep with her toungue up Rattys arse.

Helping him smooth over his hypocrisy and allowing him to spew his bullshit.

No challenging questions to him including the easist one about "Gary, why are you such a despicable shit **** and pathetic barrack room lawyer.

From Sarawak Report. Sarawak is an obscure Malaysian state in an enclave on the island of Borneo clearly employing otherwise unemployable bitter know nowt fuckwits.

On the front page there is a glowing report from New York Times, it becomes clear then.

If it was truely concerned with deforestation then I’d imagine Salford City were in its sights.

From Sarawak Report. Sarawak is an obscure Malaysian state in an enclave on the island of Borneo clearly employing otherwise unemployable bitter know nowt fuckwits. "A huge amount of evidence" from "a notorious case" that no-one's ever heard of. Let's see it then anonymous dickhead. And since when was Sheikh Mansour in charge of Abu Dhabi's sovereign wealth fund?

It appears they are referring to former Goldman Sachs banker Tim Leissner, who is on trial in the US & is the US Government's star witness in the bid to prosecute Roger Ng (his co-conspiritor) for defrauding the Malaysian Sovereign Wealth Fund 1MDB.

Leissner claims that he was told they needed to bribe Sheikh Mansour, who wouldn't get out of bed for 'anything less than $100m' in order to raise $1.75 billion of debt for 1MDB (MSWF) to win approval. An Abu Dhabi-based company was then to act as a guarantor for 1MDB on the deal.

His recollections don't appear to be as solid under cross-examination however:

Is she the one that looks like Worzel Gummidge?

She makes Worzel Gummidge look positively sartorial

Only if Worzel's had a bad day.

If I remember rightly, didn't they just use the Sheikhs name in order to get their hands on the money? In actuality it had nothing to do with him?

It's Alyson fucking Rudd, dipper extraordinaire, who said Pep was a very ordinary manager and forecast we would drop out of the top three. Now, apparently, she's an expert in moral philosophy. God save us.

She's not even bright enough to be in charge of the sheep dip.

She's not even bright enough to be in charge of the sheep dip.

Didn't she say something along the lines of "Jari Litmanen was better than David Silva"?

Hard to say, his yacht, Topaz was allegedly partly paid for with stolen funds from 1MDB. Khadem Al Qubaisi who was an aide of SM has now been locked up in Abu Dhabi for apparently going rogue and getting Abu Dhabi's SWF at the time IPIC involved with the scheme. He claims he was acting on orders from the state. More detail below if interested:

US Department of Justice links $957m luxury yacht Topaz with 1MDB scandal

In a stunning, but little-noticed, disclosure on June 30, the US Department of Justice (DOJ) stated that the superyacht, Topaz, estimated to be valued at US$688 million (S$957 million) and ranked as the seventh-largest in the world, was purchased in part with funds that were traceable to the...

I am hoping the links to Sheikh Mansour are all bogus, I see no logical reason as to why he would need to get involved with such a scheme.

Yes, unfortunately, she was all over him.
