I'm sorry "Phred" but I have to call you on this blatant lie. Find me where I say this is the "sole criteria".
When asked, all you provided as "proof" he was a "businessman" was that he spent money. Money given to him by Parliament. If you care to provide another criterium, now is your chance.

You clearly have no idea of what the NHS service in the UK does.
Same thing the Canadian government-run health department does.
Quote:
A chief of police does business deals with countless private companies? Can you please provide more information on this.
He buys uniforms from private businesses. Office supplies from private businesses. Computers from private businesses. Weaponry, vehicles, ammunition, communications equipment and more from private businesses. Signs contracts for building new facilities and renovations to existing facilities with private businesses. Signs contracts with cleaning companies.
Quote:
The term superstar of business was first used in a recent thread in relation to chief executives recieving enormous financial benefits. This man is a chief executive and is receiving enormous financial benefits. Can you comprehend this "Phred"?
There is an essential difference between someone who heads a corporation in the private sector and one who heads a government department. Can you comprehend this, Alex213?

Now that we've dealt with the "superstar of business" nonsense, let's look at the rest of the title you have chosen for this thread -- "Superstar of business retires". We are told by the author of the article you linked that
Quote:
NHS chief Sir Nigel Crisp was sacked for overseeing a financial crisis...
There is a difference between retiring and being fired (sacked). Or are you going to try to convince the readers that "sacked" and "retired" are every bit as equivalent as a superstar of business and a government department head?
Ladies and gentlemen, the Queen of bogus thread titles has been dethroned. Long live the King.

Anna would take extreme umbrage with that and will no doubt fight to the death to reclaim her primacy in that arena. Let the games begin.
