Hypocrisy champ
Aug. 6th, 2007 03:53 amControversial Manchester City owner Thaksin Shinawatra will only fall foul of the Premier League's 'fit and proper person' rules if he is convicted of a crime. (link)
So how many more corrupt (sorry, I meant controversial) "businessmen" will UK import from abroad until the balloon goes kaboom? Because the fans naturally don't seem to mind having Premiership club presidents who have blood on their hands, have tortured dissidents, have stolen billions leaving their subordinates in poverty, and have now found a safe haven away from their troubled homes? Abramovich, Berezovsky, and now Shinawatra. If not a world football champion, Britain is at least definitely the champion in hypocrisy and double standard.
