Wenger’s red herrings?

The basic issue here in Arsenal’s case is how to play better defense and Wenger perhaps should stick to the point.

Anyways, that’s Wenger’s red herrings and that is that.

Lest non-soccer fans be bored to sleep, let’s read a few media examples of red herrings deployed by people in other walks of life:

1. George Osborne’s plans to get the rich to pay more tax are nothing more than “red herrings”, according to a London-based chartered financial planner.

The chancellor told The Daily Telegraph he was “shocked” at how little income tax the very wealthiest people paid after he personally studied “anonymised” copies of their tax returns.

The 20 biggest tax avoiders in Britain have used three major loopholes to legally cut their income tax bills by a total of £145m a year, according to a report. Now Osborne has vowed to take action.

But Jonathan Davis, managing director of Jonathan Davis Wealth Management, has serious doubts as to whether Osborne will actually ensure the richest people pay more tax.

Davis said: “If he was serious about going after the rich he wouldn’t have reduced the tax rate from 50 per cent to 45 per cent. And also, he would move from taxing income and wealth creation to taxing property and assets.
