In praise of dictatorship - no Bernie, no, no, no. 

Comments:4   Add your comment

Right, so I'm fighting to retain control of Formula 1 because the teams resent my authoritarian approach, my unsackable Chairman and best pal is the son of a notorious British facist and it's the build up to the German Grand Prix. What can I say to the world's press. Mmm, let me think, oh yes, I know, why don't I say something about how by not having to answer to a democracy, dictators get things done. Yes, that's good, now, an example that might resonate with the Germans...

 

There are some places you should never, never, never let your tongue go to and this is probably No1 on the list. Not so much foot in mouth as shotgun in mouth.What was Bernie Ecclestone thinking.

I think this story should form the basis of a competition for young PR types: how would you rescue Bernie Ecclestone from his own stupidity?  Murder or suicide are not acceptable options.

Mind you, there might be a great new reality games how: we put the dwarf, Fred the Shred, and the ten dirtiest MP's on a desert Island - and leave them there.

PS Its not fair to suggest that Mosely is a dirty scum bag just because he is his father's son: none of us chose our parents.  If he is a dirty scum bag, its because he earned the title through his own actions.

Mission impossible I'd say, this F1 boss will self-destruct in a 10 second soundbite.

Ross, somehow I don't believe that 'Bernie Ecclestone' and 'thinking' should ever be in the same sentence as it's fairly obvious he doesn't.

Well he's stupidly rich, maybe that amount of dough (and power) can lead to such transgressions, I wouldn't know.
