Without Fear or Favour

[Quiet Jim 897]

'Without Fear or Favour'.

The origin of the phrase was coined by one Adolph Simon Ochs in 1896.

Adolph S. Ochs - 'to give the news impartially, without fear or favor, regardless of party, sect, or interests involved'.

However, the phrase was tainted in 2008 by the relative of a drug dealer.

"I will continue to comment, when appropriate, without fear or favour." - John Reid

The phrase resurfaced in 2012.

“The Scottish FA has a responsibility to all its members and must implement its rules without fear or favour.” - Stewart Regan

And again in 2012;

Doncaster said: “All I can say is that we will continue to deal with clubs equally under the rules. Our job is to apply those rules, equally, without fear or favour to every single one of the 12 member clubs. It’s our job to explain that what we are doing is treating people equally. If everyone understands that then, what will be the reason to be aggrieved about the outcome? Every club will be treated exactly the same. I can’t get into ‘special cases’.

And again in 2012;

Meanwhile… Charles Taylor… Sierra Leone… mass rape… child soldiers… death by machete… and a city and a court where yes, they apply the rules without fear or favour and they don’t feel the need to say so. - Alex Thomson

Well, Mr Thomson after reading your sectarian rants, inspired by religious bigotry,

Why don't you, without fear or favour, investigate the real story or are you just following the script?

No longer will we accept a club, faith or cabal preaching morality, whilst supporting terrorism and suppressing the voices of pedophilia and sexual abuse victims.

The inquisition part 2 is defeated.

Your silence is deafening!
