I realise that the Anglo tapes will have upset many people greatly including my mother. Her view as that she did not understand all the matters they were talking about but it was the tone and cintemptupous nature.
However - this is not intended to soothe you but that its not an Irish thing.
1. When Wall Street was investigated by NY attorney Spritzer - it was the shocking emails that did the trick. Basically the Enron debacle implicated lots of investment banks as they were selling services to Enron and Enron top guys were able to buy IPOs and resell them. The Merill Lynch analysts used to refer to many of these as POS - this stood for 'piece of s**t'
2. Emails bewteen top Partners in the US of KPMG when they were dealing with edgy tax schemes - one Partner wrote to others saying that he thought ' they sgould s**t and get off the pot ' in relation to the structure. Another replied that he thought 'if you check it out I think the phras is not s**t and get off the pot but s**t or get off the pot ..and its time to s**t'.
So expect more choice language and be thankful that the Indo does not replay all the dealers tapes as the conversations may be about sex, sexual relations; orientation; rude phrases about lack of parents; and unusual past times.
What you should be concerned with is:
1. Who sold the tapes
2. Who paid for them
3. And why the person did not do duty to the Country and make them available.
