Recently on Twitter, I was accused of being a liar and a lunatic for stating Lord Coe thanked G4S for their efforts for the Olympic games and embracing G4S into the Olympic family!
I took issue with an individual fuckwit follower who during a 'conversation' with one of my other followers, suggesting that if G4S ended up "destroyed", it would be the company's fault in failing to fulfil a contract, adding "It's called capitalism."
In the Twitter-sphere, I have never disputed the fact that G4S failed to deliver on their Olympic contract. In short, they fucked up big time, and the world knows it.
However I did find the above capitalism comment thoughtless and ignorant, especially during these difficult economic times. In light of the success of both the Olympic and Paralympic Games, the remark was certainly not very 'pro British'.
75 years of excellent work should not be overshadowed by issues on one contract. G4S is the largest employer on the Stock Exchange, with operations in more than 125 countries and over 657,000 employees.
G4S may have failed to deliver on their promise to meet contractual obligations, they may have put their hands up very late in the day, they may have faced questionable scrutiny from Government Select Committee's before the Games had even begun (unprofessional), and since, but it is an irrefutable fact Lord Coe thanked G4S after the failings came to light - regardless what has since been reported following the conclusion of the London 2012 Olympic Games.
The fuckwit stated that Lord Coe only thanked those who stood guard, adding "That would be the soldiers and police who bailed out G4S not G4S".
So, having given it a little thought for a couple of hours, I've decided to join the blogging sphere to make a statement of fact - beyond the limitations of Twitter's 140 characters, enlightening on Lord Coe's thanks to G4S, because I am fully aware of what Lord Coe has stated publicly and directly to G4S, however the fuckwit hadn't thought or reasoned that there may indeed be the possibility that Lord Coe had thanked G4S?!
Instead, the fuckwit chose to to stick to one area perceived to be conclusive, stating "You really don't like reality intruding on your life. Can't handle that seb Coe thanked the Army and not G4S".
The fuckwit is clearly unaware of the bigger picture. Nonetheless, they continued to stick to their belief, their reality, selectively cherry picking comments made by Lord Coe without fully researching or providing the full facts.
Please note, the individual claims in their Twitter profile that they are reporting on politics from the UK and Worldwide, that they are watching the media for corruptness. There is also a link to their blog website.
The fuckwit also stated that they were always interested in the truth, that they found it hard to believe Lord Coe had thanked G4S when they failed, and then requested links in reference to comments thanking G4S.
Unbelievable fuckwittery.
Albeit slightly underhanded, I immediately obliged and Tweeted a website link to the G4S website, further providing copy&pasted comments made at the time from Olympic Organisers thanking G4S.
I acknowledged that the comments submitted were not specifically from Lord Coe, but I knew articles stating the fact existed and could easily be found online from using a few keywords in a popular search engine (Google), which instantly reveals results.
Further variations (results) can be found by copy&pasting initial found results into the search engine - which would have revealed references that, with a little patience and tenacity, confirmed my exact point, but unfortunately, the fuckwit couldn't be bothered to search further, even though they were provided a lead, or put another way 'thrown a bone'.
I fully appreciate some may find it laborious or tedious to look things up and research online, but it is fairly easy and doesn't require journalistic skills or years of experience, just plenty of patience and an eye for details.
For an individual who states they're interested in the truth and apparently blogs to that effect, boasting such statements (above) in their Twitter profile, would be expected at the very least to research fully the online articles from the time, where numerous sites reported the G4S failings and yes, included articles detailing Lord Coe's intentions...... to thank G4S.
Oh fucking dear! Among the Search Engine results on G4S, not only do they reveal many articles of their widely reported failings with contractual obligations, but also include comments from those working within the Olympic Organisers team specifically thanking G4S for their work, as well as comments from Dame Tessa Jowell who even stated publicly on ITV's Daybreak (see reported online) Seb Coe would be writing to G4S Staff, that G4S were important over the duration of the Games helping to deliver a safe and enjoyable Olympics for all.
Example
"Lord Coe, London 2012 chairman, would be writing to these staff (G4S) thanking them for the job that they are doing."
Like I have previously stated, Lord Coe did exactly that.
A scan of the G4S official 'In-Touch Newsletter Summer Edition 03' which included extracts of Lord Coe's letter is detailed below:
It is a fact that unless individuals are employed or registered with G4S, accessing non-public features on the company website (company privileged content) would obviously be extremely difficult. It's unlikely they would be aware that company newsletters are available in digital and hard copy. Nonetheless, you can see such content exists, and has undoubtedly been read by many, many thousands of company employees.
Although I threw a bone and obliged the G4S website link for the fuckwit as an initial point of reference - they dramatically dismissed it. Mind, it shouldn't have prevented them signing-up to the website, or attempting to contact the company to seek further clarification, after all, the company contact details are public and easily accessible within a few clicks?!
As you can see, not only was it reported by the press media Lord Coe would be thanking G4S (after the failings came to light - please do click the links provided and check the dates!), Dame Jowell announced on NATIONAL TV Lord Coe's intentions, and posted above is a scan of a G4S newsletter including an extract of what Lord Coe said in his letter.
Now I may not have journalistic skills, researcher experience or mastery of the English language, but exercising the right of reply in this, my first blog post, beyond the restrictions of Twitter, has actually been rather therapeutic. I'm most certainly happy to oblige the above information for the lazy fuckwit, or, as we say in London "go pick the bones out of that matey!"
Yes, they could have simply followed Lord Coe on Twitter, 'Tweeted' him direct and requested further clarification. Yes, it probably would have taken just a little effort to do that, but so far, the silence since from the lazy fuckwit has been deafening.
I'm not completely dismissing the fuckwit's 'intentions', after all, they appear to have been blogging a lot longer than me (!), and appear to have an apparent interest in politics. Jolly good for them, bless!
Purely out of politeness, I initially chose to follow back on Twitter, but have since chosen to un-follow the fuckwit. There is nothing in their Twitter feed I find appetising, and doubt I will return to see if there is anything else more appealing or agreeable in the future.
Whether the fuckwit believes I'm still a liar or a lunatic (!?) perhaps pursuing some hidden insane agenda, and obliges me on Twitter with a dismissive 'block' or even continues to follow me - I care not.
I will however happily point out to those who choose to follow this individual on Twitter, or read 'facts" presented, may not entirely be correct - so you've been warned.
Indeed politics and 'truths' will continue to be spun in the media and on the internet, and I sincerely hope Mr fuckwit washer-dryer gets it, before continuing to spin, rinse and twist theirs just to fit in with an arrogant and blinkered point of view, or they will likely be perceived to be as nigh-on corrupt at those they're purportedly watching.
Anyone, even little old me, can Tweet, Blog and conduct online research from the security of the comfy chair behind a monitor screen. Sure, views, opinions and "facts" can be expressed to the world, but if the 'facts' presented or introduced into the public domain are one sided, lacking and far from complete, it's inevitable that readers far better informed viewing the individuals "findings" may simply conclude: 'What an inept fuckwit?!'
I strongly suggest if anyone wishes to be taken seriously in writing about or presenting "specific facts", appreciate there may be a bigger picture which needs to be brought into focus.
Make sure you research and present ALL THE FACTS, no matter how shocking, distasteful or revealing they may turn out to be, especially if you disagree with them, because we really don't need any more budding Kelvin McKenzie's, thank you.
If any approved followers wish to spot the fuckwit I'm referring to, simply follow my Twitter time-line.
