That's a clever thought which, not surprisingly, had not occurred to me. There is no doubt that the Argus must have been very certain of their ground when they named Huw Jenkins and there has been no denial. So Jenkins himself is the obvious source.
If I had to pick I'd choose of the three options that the board leaked the story. I think it unlikely Mr Jenkins did, at least not by himself. I would not rule out a board member wanting to stop Huw Jenkins doing the deed.
I tend to agree with you on your knowledge on these matters. As a self confessed grass, you would know the ins and outs on these types of things.
I get you don't like people who grass.
You know a lot of people propogate the idea that it's wrong to grass. Like if your best mate drinks and drives only a scumbag like me would grass him up.
Now I am in no position to take the moral high ground. In my younger days I often saw my friends drink drive and did nothing about it. Indeed although I didn't drive I was happy to get into cars driven by friends well over the limit. I was a idiot. A fool. And would no doubt have gone along with nobody likes a grass.
25 years at the bar altered that. You see when you have talked to the mother of a twenty three year old woman whose life was ended by a drunk driver you get to realize that. When you have been to a big city morgue on a Monday morning and realize it smells like a brewery you realize that.
So if I'm no longer an idiot I suppose I should be grateful. I have never had to scrape up the remains of a drunk drivers victim up off the road. Or break the news to some old widow that she no longer has a son. Many policemen and women have.
Ever have to deal with family of a teenager found dead in a public toilet. Drowned in their own vomit, needle in their arm. Do you really think we shouldn't grass up the person who supplied the heroin?
Whoareya said there's nothing worse than a snitch. You said the people of Newport don't like a grass. Who are you to judge who we should and should not grass up?
I don't think you are a bad person. I don't think Whoareya is. But I do think in propgating the line that nobody likes a grass you help people are do terrible things.
I said on another thread I had touched a raw nerve. Good. I genuinely hope you learn from the experience of others just how stupid that remark was. I pray to whatever God there is you never have to learn the hard way just how stupid that remark was.
Oh and it's three in the morning and I can't sleep thinking about a mother I met before a sentencing hearing.
the anarchist in me is tempted but truthfully we all just want the best for the club and of course stability. We don’t however, want to be treated like fools we want to know who the bidders are and roughly what they have to offer - we are, by no means, demanding to see their bank statements - merely the whites of their eyes which is the bare minimum when hunting ( whether for prey, a business partner or investor ). Am I being unreasonable ?
