Patrick Smith & John Elliot spat on radio

[Streak]

Sounds like a Scumwood v Essenscum game. You just want the two of them to punch the living daylights out of each other so you can walk away laughing.

And to be playing the one that got beaten up worse the next round.

the whole thing was pretty poor...

Op ed peices are written to generate comment as another poster mentioned..

You could hardly understand what either was saying...

they sounded like two winos arguing over the sherry bottle...

Pratt and Mokbel, both crooks in my humble opinion, just went after what they wanted in different ways.

I agree with you, but to compare Mokbel's indiscretions with Pratt's is incomprehensible in my opinion. Pratt was involved in price fixing. oOme may find it hard to believe but price-fixing is rife. Sure your goods are more expensive, but no-one is going to die from it. And yes it should be stamped out, as should many things in the business world, but the fact is the power controls the money.

Mokbel on the other hand is a drug baron, traficking illegal drugs that make people reliant and kilss. He is also guilty of murder. The person we are talking about here is a criminal of the worst kind.

I'm still shaking my head.

Both are criminals, just different methods and customer base, don't mean to sound blase as I think Mokbels "line of business" bloody abhorrent and deadly

All Patrick Smith did was legitimately highlight the fact that a former disgraced Carlton president was passing comment upon an incumbent disgraced Carlton president. What was amusing is that Elliot is either unaware or in denial of the fact that he is in the eyes of the overwhelming majority of the football and general public in disgrace, and that he has no credibility. Patrick Smith just told him a home truth and the Honker didn't like it...end of story.

Thats the problem with all of those fall from grace super business men.
Bond, Skaise, Adler, Elliot, Pratt, that prick that ran HIH ( can't remember the shonky ferrets name ).
They sit around on their corporate thrones splurging other peoples money around like it's their god given right and when they get sprung for being lying thieving slimeballs they wonder why Johnny Public has got the *smile* up with them.

At least with shitbags like Mokbel and Williams everyone knows they're shitbags rather than model corporate citizens and pillars of society.

 

[Shers]

I don't think Pratt needs to throw other's money around.
He has more than enough of his own.

I think TM's point is that a chunk of that money is "other peoples money" because of the way he corruptly manipulated the market to gain additional profits.

Yeah TM, at least mokbel and williams are "upstanding" criminals, not like those other sneaky punces ;D
