As he slips straight into one more hot seat, quotes abound highlighting his apparent ossification. For once, he was at the vanguard. A one-man innovating

£37m Fine Wine Boiler Room Scam Prosecutions

These criminals deserve jail. The deception of the vulnerable is heinous. Don't be like these baddies. I heard a trading standards officer called Sue describe the scene upon obtaining a warrant and entering their offices. 'All the staff were standing, because apparently they weren't allowed to sit down until they

Build On Tideway Success

This is not made up. A big ticket UK infrastructure project just got delivered on-time, and to budget.

Labelling Huckster Trick

Screenshot from her 'reel'. As she identifies, the technique of 'labelling' is where you project the desired quality or behaviour on to the person you seek to influence. She features the faux/dangerous example of moulding your other half. To be your 'best ever'. Then follows up with one "to
