Maybe one for conspiracy thread instead but whatever
So this Ben Embarek was on the investigation thing and basically he is saying that when they were in China they were intimidated into putting out a report that was misleading, or which at the very least, did not contain all of the information that they wanted it to. Let's be honest, it does not seem at all beyond the realms of possibility that China might have leaned on the team, applied some slightly threatening tactics and done so with some success.
And then this fella Ben went home to Denmark and chilled for a bit,possibly he watched Mads Mikkelsen in Justice Riders, a fairly decent black comedy, though perhaps not as good as the reviews made it sound (it came out ages ago in Denmark, but only recently in the UK for some reason, I expect there were no lorry drivers to carry it over cos of brexit) - he probably drank some Carlsberg, more recently he no doubt enjoyed his country's run in the Euros - after all they made it right up to the semi-final where admittedly they were outclassed and deservedly beaten by a nailed on penalty, I forget which country they were playing.. anyway, he enjoyed that and lots more, since his return from China it's been a nice couple of years, marred somewhat by the lockdowns and bars shutting early and all that making things a bit boring and life a bit harder.... and then one day he slaps himself across the forehead and shouts out "Oh, damn! When I got home from China I meant to tell the rest of the world that the report on the virus and its origins and so on was a load of bollocks. Oh shit. Everyone has spent two years making a right pigs ear of things cos I never told 'em that the original report was wrong - fucking hell, I knew there was something... forget me own head if it wasn't screwed on".
It doesn't really reflect well on this guy right? Could he have not mentioned it earlier?
