David Grier claims Whyte withheld takeover information

[the gunslinger 3,366]

Have the invoices been presented to the general public as evidence???

 

From the "evidence" I've seen, its clear that Grier knew there was some involvement with Ticketus, but nothing so confirm EXACTLY what that involvement entailed.

 

no but the IPA will see them.

That was me.... sort of.

 

Perhaps so but was I who was quoted.

[Bluedell 5,356]

Who said they'd cover up anything?

 

You did when you said it would be highly unlikely to take action against their own.

[Dragonfly Trumpeter 50]

The suggestion that professional self-regulatory bodies are highly likely to cover up for a (relatively small) member and put the reputaton of the body at risk is not realistic.

 

And has never happened.........

The fact that I view self-regulation as a weak sop does not equate to a cover up far from it in fact, a cover up suggests hiding guilt I make no such suggestion at all I merely hint that any action taken (imho) will be inadequate.

No you said that it was unlikely to take action. If it find something and doesn't take action, as you suggested then how can it not be a cover-up?

 

What specific rules should they be found guilty of breaking?

Some may equate 10 lashes with a wet fag paper as action others may not.

Would depend on what evidence is laid against them would it not?

I hardly think so.

 

Would depend on what evidence is laid against them would it not?

 

So basically you don't know what evidence will be laid before them and you don't know what rules have been broken but you still believe that the action taken against them will be inadequate? Very Leggatesque.

And you do know what evidence has been laid?

 

I believe all self-regulatory bodies fail to take adequate action after all if the self-regulatory PCC had taken adequate action the Levenson enquiry wouldn't be taking place.

[Bluedell 5,356]

And you do know what evidence has been laid?

 

No, but I'm not making any claims about whether the action will be adequate or not.

Wow. That's some claim. You have an opinion on ALL self-regulatory bodies?

 

I've seen plenty of examples where adequate action is taken. I've seen some where the action taken is over the top. My experience is that they are like everything else. A few not up to it but mostly good., but I couldn't claim to have an opinion on them all.
