It is supposed to be an even playing field, not one where the rich friends are given an advantage just because of who they are!


Even Lords has a slope!

No, He means Lords Cricket Ground the celebrated home of the game of cricket. The playing surface is not level but has a famous slope.

Cricket is quite a popular and hugely followed sport in places that were colonised by Britain and did not have tea parties

I wonder if the people who lost their life savings feel that Margaret Stewart is responsible for that happening? What she did had no influence on the collapse, it was going to happen anyway and not because of anything Margaret had done. If someone told me to sell my shares in a company because they knew it was going down the gurgler, I would do so immediatly.

The problem i see in all this is the beat up and the scale of the crime. She didn't reap huge profits at others expense, it was a victimless crime. A petty matter where a big fine would suffice.
