Too many too often for too long to be anything but corrupt.
If it looks like a duck, waddles like a duck, quacks like a duck common folks will say its a duck.
Corruption can be in many forms
Cronyism, nepotism, depotism etc.
Keep it coming mates eventually we will unearth a lot of stuff in this thread.
Let me start by Phone Hacking (with the ubiguity of bluetooth in current cell phones which 'inadvertently' lends itself downloading of spyware).
Ask why a lot of celebrities like Tiger Wood, John Terry et al are 'outed'. Are their voicemails & text messages being hacked?
Why the pair of tweedledums (Gray & Key) are 'sacrificed'? To bury the NOTW phone hacking scandal or news in the media?
Now suppose you are a referee, or have influence to mould public opinion, and if someone is privy to damaging information on you will that person or organization bend you to their agenda? Leading to further compromising you?
To start with mates I suggest you read 'The Fix' by Declan Hill.
We are deluded if we don't believe we are being fed with & by ManUre.
