Rewriting History

If Legia Warszawa can be thrown out of the UEFA Champions League for fielding an ineligible player for the last four minutes of a tie in which they were leading 6-1, how come Rangers (RIP) can keep hold of Scottish Premier League titles won via corruptions, illegal payments, tax avoidance and the utilisation of illegitimate mercenaries over the period of a decade?

With proportional punishment, one might have thought that liquidation should have been the very least of their worries.

A Baudrillardean Hyperreality

A plane is flying from Qatar to Manchester.

A passenger, we'll call him A, hands a note to steward claiming there is a bomb on board.

The steward takes the note to the cockpit.

The pilots decide not to inform the passengers.

The pilots send code to Air Traffic Control and RAF jets are scrambled.

Passenger A (and all other passengers and staff) hear about unfolding drama on Twitter...
... because there has been a media leak between Air Traffic Control and RAF.

So, there's an RAF jet performing aerial acrobatics outside my window, the bomb on board my flight is trending on Twitter, there is no disclosure by Qatar Airways who are kindly providing me with details about the ground temperature and wind direction in Manchester and asking me to put my seat back upright for landing.

The plane lands safely.

Passenger A is detained under the Mental Health Act for thinking that he had brought a bomb on board when, in reality, he hadn't.
