I’d be surprised if he wasn’t coached by the IOMG spin doctors or AGs office of what to say or not to say for his tribunal appearance. No different to a court appearance, whereby the lawyer/barrister would rehearse the line of questioning. Even this interview, I’d be surprised if he wasn’t advised what to say.

To be fair, Sir Jon had and has a good reputation, and will be chairing a major public inquiry into the hospital porter who interferred with deceased bodies, in the UK. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's about titles like "Director of this and that Policy" and very little to do with actually making stuff work for the benefit of the GMT. IOMG is littered with these non-jobs. I know a 'Manager' at the Financial Services Authority, who doesn't manage anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also seem to remember him commenting in public about Dr Glover’s employment status (whether or not she was employed by IOMG and if so in what capacity). 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All these little things with Ashford will become his undoing. He is a supposed stickler for rules when it’s suits. He does whatever suits him, then when the result goes against him, and there is a potential chance of criticism, he will wriggle and squirm. He is afraid to defend his previous decision making.

And it would appear spelling is not among his strengths either, unless it's a Freudian slip spelling Phoenix as Phoniex. Maybe it's phoniex projects he's working on nowadays... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's fairly certain that they wrote his replies to the Tribunal for him as they keep on pointing out discrepancies between what written evidence and oral testimony.

Well for sure he won’t be jacking the job in when the alternative to the £80K a year job carving up £1.5Bn of assets to give to civil servants is being a temporary book keeper with one of the grottiest venues in Douglas and running your own fake project management company.
