You may consider subscribing to our RSS feed or for updates via email. I recently obtained interesting documents from a Florida court which outline further details of the investigation into tax evasion by people formerly associated with Portsmouth Football Club. The investigation is part of ‘Operation Apprentice’ a long standing investigation into alleged football corruption. In 2007, then Portsmouth chief executive Peter Storrie was arrested — along with then manager Harry Redknapp, then club owner Milan Mandaric (now owner of Sheffield Wednesday), agent Willie McKay and former Portsmouth player Amdy Faye — over allegations of corruption. The five men were arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to defraud and false accounting. Last year Redknapp, who is the current manager at Tottenham, was charged with “two counts of cheating the public revenue of an estimated £40,000 after voluntarily attending London’s Bishopsgate police station”. Redknapp has been touted as a successor to Fabio Capello as England football manager. According to The Independent: Charges concerned two payments, totalling 295,000 US dollars, alleged to have been made from Mandaric to Redknapp via a bank account in Monaco, evading the tax and National Insurance contributions due between April 1, 2002 and November 28, 2007. Mandaric, now chairman of Leicester, was charged with tax evasion relating to the payment of 295,000 US dollars to another person via a Monaco bank account, evading tax and National Insurance. Storrie was charged with concealing a signing-on fee for ex-Portsmouth player Amdy Faye by paying it into the midfielder’s bank account. The allegation related to the transfer of Faye from Auxerre to Fratton Park for £1.5million in August 2003. For his part, Redknapp sought to have the case against him dismissed in November last year.

I think if I was Sarkozy or Merkel, I would rather pay a little more in interest, rather than watching billions in German and French bank loans go down the tubes, or French and German public money being used to vainly propping up Italy and Spain to try and save the euro. It will happen, mark my words....

Just a thought, but why don't the Eurozone countries stop issuing their own bonds for the raising of capital? Replace them with a Eurobond that will provide a yield lower than the PIIGS are having to pay at the moment. Yeah, it will add to the cost of borrowing in France and Germany, but the European Bank will then have the capital and say so to whom, how much and under what terms the money is doled out.

We're spending 6 days in Monterey and while the missus is sun bathing I will play Pebble Beach and Spyglass. Looking forward to 17 mile drive, Big Sur and Carmel. Stopping over one night in Sacramento on the way to South Lake Tahoe, where we will be staying for a couple days. Definitely will be taking a trip to Carson City. Despite travelling to most of the US, during the 11 years I lived there, I never got the West Coast, only getting as far as Pheonix. The decision to move to the States, when I was younger, was largely influenced by being a big fan of the Rockford files. I even bought a Pontiac Firebird. Little did I know that the Jersey shore was nothing like Malibu! Just to make you feel worse, this is where we intend to have brunch, the Sunday we are in Monterey.

I'd spend some time debating the points you've made, but you're obviously totally illiterate and a waste of a post....

Totally destroys my argument. I guess the European Commission could have asked your mate, instead of paying Gallup to carry out extensive telephone interviews with 400 rail commuters in the UK.

It would be better if you argued the point with facts, rather than ignore the facts I posted and change the point of the argument. My point is train network, overall is better now than it was under Government control. The fact that it is more expensive, crowded at peak times and less cost effective and convenient, than travelling by car and air was not my point. If you have any facts to back up the argument that it was better when nationalised, please share them. Being crowded only serves to demonstrate the increased popularity of train travel. At the same time, please justify why you think the tax payer should be expected to subsidise the cost and comfort of your travel by train, as they did when the system was nationalised? Someone has to pay for the rail network. Why shouldn't it be the user rather than the taxpayer?

A total load of ****** from another moaning commuter, without any supporting facts and a poor memory of British Rail, its rolling stock and punctuality. Here's a few facts to help you out:

We help pay for both the NHS and a private scheme. It makes us feel good that on one hand we jump the queue when treatment is needed and on the other, help finance the treatment of the obese, beer swigging, heavy smoking socialists that are forced to use the NHS. It is interesting that the current NHS structure is far closer to that envisaged by the Conservatives in their 1944 White paper on a National Health Service. Labour's original structure was just plain wrong, as were the concepts of a national electricity organisation and a national rail authority. All of these were given up over the years to favour private enterprise and the benefits of competition and local needs. Like the Marxist states of the 70's, true socialism has been found to be a failed experiment and an expensive one at that. Enter New Labour, Tony Blair and his warped impersonation of Thatcherism... ...and still the mugs vote for them....although, hopefully in declining numbers since they have been found out again.

You obviously never watched "The Killing Fields". Cambodia and Ethiopa were both Marxist states in the 1970's. Many of the residents living in these Utopian visions ceased to exist, but both societies definitely existed....

Putin and the other left wing apologists conveniently forget that the revolutionary Russia of 1917 refused to accept responsibility for Imperial Russia's foreign debt, just like Iceland did with its debts a couple of years ago. So, fast forward nearly a century and barely 10 years after the collapse of the Soviet Union, we are taking lessons in economics from Russia. Putin's words may be listened to, by children living under his dictatorship in Russia and posting on here, but spare the rest of us the lectures, Vladimir and stick to repression, something we can all agree you know more than anyone about.

Apple is not richer than the USA. That is like saying, because the Queen never carries money, everyone is richer than her. Apple has cash in the bank because they are about make a large acquisition, so the analysts believe. There's no other reason, because it is always better to employ any spare cash, beyond reserves, in investing in a business, particularly one that grows at over 20% a year. Try and get that interest on your cash, however large an amount. The US also has a minor advantage over apple, in that it is allowed to print money and also holds $110.3 billion in gold at Fort Knox. A ridiculous story, really and one that has been aimed to make Apple fanboys cream all over their Ipods...
