Power and Corruption

Monitoring the evidence being given by Rebekah Brooks to the Leveson Inquiry is more than entertaining...
... the collusion in corruption between power and insiders is evident.

In the dim and distant past nearly two decades ago, I undertook a Ph.D in Economics - the title of my thesis was "The Impact of Conspicuous Money on Outcomes in British Horseracing Betting Markets".

In this thesis (which was sold on to a bookmaker as a High Level Consultancy), it was demonstrated that the results of horseraces were highly dependent on the money flows in the betting markets - off-course, in the ring and on the rails ie insiders rigged many many races.

Certain trainers and jockeys featured very prominently in the primary listing of suspect races.

Among these charlatans was horserace trainer, one Charlie Brooks...
... who, remarkably, is the husband of one Rebekah.

The same linkages may be shown to exist between, for example, certain mainstream media, some football managers, a range of bookmakers and a selection of referees in the Premier League...
... as we will prove to you prior to the conclusion of this blog on Monday next.
