BRANDY SNAPS

18 September 2023

 

Oh dear oh dear oh dear, the end of another outstanding enemy of the elite.

Of course Jimmy wasn't around to defend himself, but I imagine Russell is putting up a good defence, although I am not in up to date on this story.

"Russ'll fix it". Another heartless mocking meme - shows how cynical and disbelieving we have become, faced with the daily evidence that we have absolutely no power to change anything that is going on in our lives and we are all slowly being flushed down the toilet and ruined....

Yea, so Russel will be spending a few months in prison.

Bernard Tapie. Did you hear of this guy? Another big mouth, arrogant, bowls you over, confident, strong personality. Interesting character.

He was extremely popular, lead Marseille football club to victory at Munich in 1993, he had a four-mast boat and beat the record for crossing the Atlantic, he made hundreds of millions from buying clapped out businesses and doing them up, even Mitterand invited him into government as a minister, wiped the floor with Jean-Marie LePen.

Strong personality, big mouth, arrogant, always went to the end of things, told many lies. Eg he would later be found to have been involved in a match-fixing scandal, was sent to prison for fiscal fraud.

He came out of prison with a completely different attitude to life - quiet, calculating, low profile.

After some time, he regained his old confidence and panache.

Russel may learn the hard way that he was just a creature of the media - they build you up, push you to extreme positions till you fail, then everyone jumps on you, you're broken, but you know what... the old character will come shining through again.

Now the UK prime minister is involved

"Says number 10", no doubt trying to avoid being tarnished with the same brush.

I remember the Profumo affair: 
"well he would say that, wouldn't he!".
