What the FUCK is an enterprise czar?

Brilliant.

He should patent the idea.

 

I reckon GB's brought Sugar in to sack people, as he's too wimpish to do it himself. Can't think what other skills he might contribute.

 

Amstrad Plc is a 100% subsidiary of BSkyB Plc. The company designs, develops and manufactures set top boxes for BSkyB and Sky Italia.

The company also used to design, develop and manufacture audio, telecoms and other consumer electronic products.

Actually, come to think of it. How many times has Kirk saved the world, apart from once in Star Trek 4 maybe, the one with the whales...?

There's the earth getting attacked by klingons, borg and all, and where's Kirk? Half way across the other side of the delta quadrant shagging green alien women, that's where!

 

Well, you being an anarchist I can see how you would view the appointment of an enterprise czar as redundant, however given as we live in a capitalist system it makes sense to me within that context.

I don't know too much about Sugar, but from the bbc link he sold Amstrad for £125 million to BskyB in 2007, which ain't a bad little deal, and seems to have made money out of his property empire as well.

Having experienced and successful business people in government seems like a good idea to me for shaping economic policy, in business what counts is results rather than how popular you are.

In mitigation my view is that we must move towards an environmentally sustainable economic model with urgency, so I would want powerful people in government who support those views - I suspect the average capitalist businessman doesn't give a flying fuck about sustainability, and that has to change.

 

Amstrad were around for years. Every business fails eventually.

Also, I hope you're joking with the Steve Jobs idea. We've only just got rid of Hazel Blears, why would we want another smug self-satisfied twat in the government? He'd probably do "Hi! I'm a Labour voter" "And I'm a Tory voter!" adverts where they make all Tory voters look like idiots by using "facts" that are based on half-lies and statistics that went out of fashion with the stone age, then we'd get a legion of smug war supporters who sip lattes in Starbucks and type on their Mac laptops about how people don't "get" them and all that jazz.

Yes, I just came close to defending the Tories. That's how against the idea I am.

 

what is a tzar? my definiation is: 'an asshole with a great deal of power, who can't do jack shit without fucking up big time!'
ex. the u.s.a. "war on drugs" was (and is!) is an american farce run by the drug czar.

 

"My government! It's full of czars!"

 

Another Enterprise arse.



I was trying to find one of Deanna Troi's bottom but couldn't.

 

Also, "Drugs Czar" sounds like the title of the most powerful man in Britain.
