No he wasn't. There are many who risk their lives and liberty attempting to escape the tyranny of communist rule. He not only chose not to take this path he chose to aid and assist the Chinese government in hindering those who do. He chose to comply with the censorship off the internet in order...

What sort of argument is that? What exactly is your point?

Well, I'm no fan of Russian oligarchs either but at least Russia is nominally democratic. There's no such pretence in China and one of the ways that this subjugation of the population is continued are the great many restrictions placed on internet usage. Something Li has happily complied with...

Yes, within the 'laws' of a tyranny. Capitalism has its flaws but it hardly compares with communist China. Of course they'd be 'oppressed with or without Baidu', that's not the issue. At least you've agreed they are oppressed. My point is that Li is complicit by agreeing to abide by the Chinese...

Yes, but the 'customer' is a communist dictatorship that violently suppresses any dissent and heavily restricts access to certain information on the internet.

Where on earth did I say that? I said Robin Li has largely made his fortune by developing a search engine (Baidu) that heavily censors its results at the bequest of the ruling Communist party. Any dissent in China is vigorously repressed and control of information is but one tool of the...

In what way have 'things moved on a bit'? The same Communist Party is in ultimate control that suppressed the pro-democracy movement that day. Similar dissent is still suppressed all over China to this day. One of the areas of control is pretty rigorous censorship of the internet. Although...

Apologies for being a party pooper but if it is Robin Li is nobody else just a teensy bit concerned that he made the majority of his money from designing a search engine that essentially censors what the Chinese people can search for, at the behest of the ruling Communist party (dictatorship)...

Me neither. I'm happy to contribute. In fact it will be nice to see the statue and feel part of it, however small.

Apparently the third person in the tweet (the one in the middle is Robbie Keane) is someone called Paul Kemsley. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Kemsley

If that was an attempt at humour it wasn't very good.

Considering the players at his disposal that was a good point. Clearly we haven't got a defence capable of providing a base for attacking open football (see last week at Cardiff and EEL for the first goal today). In such circumstances it was a difficult balance to strike. Damned if you do...

Does it matter when he was bought in the window? Strictly speaking Ojo on loan was the replacement but all of Wolves wingers swap wings during the game and it was Byrne we spent money on. The fact remains the statement from the club wasn't a 'lie'.

The actual words quoted by the Express and Star were... “We bought Bakary Sako for £2.5m and he’s running out of contract so we have to replace him. Now to do that, inevitably, we’re going to have to spend money on buying players". I note that the headline 'We’ll splash out on a new Sako' is...

That article states that Afobe wouldn't be sold last summer and he wasn't. It also says that 'we’re going to have to spend money on buying players', which they did. Am I missing something? For the record I do believe Kenny's statement today so if you think he's *lying* please provide the evidence.

That's one example but if I'm honest I'm not sure what you mean by that. Can you elaborate please?

A couple of examples of both please.

Why? There's no way Kenny Jackett would have said that if it weren't true.

The club statement re Afobe seems reasonable enough to me. If he's made it clear he wants to move then why shouldn't the club make that known. It's not exactly an unusual situation. It happens all the time. The alternative is for the club to say nothing and to get the inevitable flak from a...
