He is an expert. Making a personal mistake doesn't mean your skills cannot be used.

Whether I have any "credibility" with the right wing, anti-lockdown bunch of regressives who regularly post their selfishness here, is of no concern at all. I would be ashamed to be well regarded by such people.

So what is he an expert at?

Politico is a leftist very pro Democrat site, not by any means an independent nor objective site.

Usual excuse. When faced with anything critical, blame the critic.

Who else used that playbook I wonder?

It's just another ad hominem.

It's always easy to take things out of context, when searching for mud to sling.

Worst case scenarios are not predictions.

They are warnings to elicit actions.

It's not one mistake, and it's not small.

You regularly slag off anything right wing but let's remind anyone who supports you that you came on this site calling yourself a 'one nation conservative' and regularly defended that.

Anyone who actually gives you credibility has to also accept that you are drenched in propagating falsehoods.....which I imagine is something quite expected from a former sales and marketing manager of thirty odd years.

You have used that playbook pretty much everytime.

Hypocrite.

I was not referring to his personal mistake but his professional ones.

I have never posted anti lockdown blah blah blah.

Time for your nap Mr Tenacity

 


Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance.

Not at all.

I always address the post and not the poster.

Just dismissing something as "leftish" when in the past it has been shown, with lengthy reasoning, not to be so, is an excuse.

So what?

His skills are still, quietly, being used in the background, although I don't think he will be used to make any public pronouncements again.

He leads a team, doing important work.

Would you rather he gave up and drew his pension?

There are numerous examples of you on Hol looking into a site's or person's perceived bias or political backing to cast doubt on it.

You link to a Politico article itself as to whether it's right or left.

That's like asking the BBC to judge itself.

I urge anyone to just go to its front page and assess themselves...it's as obvious as anything.

How many times does he get to be spectacularly and dangerously wrong at our expense?

Apart from the BSE, Bird Flu and Swine flu disasters already mentioned, policies implemented under Ferguson’s advisory based on his data resulted in the mass slaughter of over six million animals to stop the spread of foot and mouth. A decision which left rural England economically devastated at the cost of £10 billion.

You are defending the indefensible.

Edited by Stirlingsays (04 Feb 2022 10.42am)

The idea that any responsible sales and marketing executive propagates falsehoods is something I have fought against all my professional life. It's a common perception, but it's untrue.

They emphasise the positive and minimise the negative, that's true but telling untruths is never acceptable. They also battle internally to get their companies to make what the market needs rather than expect them to sell what the company makes.

That some wish to dismiss my political position and impose their own distortions on top is not my responsibility. Those who live on the extremes, and see anyone in the middle as being on the other extreme, need to question themselves.

I am, and always have been, a supporter of a traditional middle of the road, balanced, approach to politics. One in which there is a consensus over what is right and wrong. For most of my life the Party that best represented those values was the Tory Party, but not now. Times though, they are a'changing.
