Could it be that Tesco selected the sites for their soccer schools in areas where they were about to develop new stores, as a Google Page Ranking Exercise to get themselves popular with future customers?

I didn't say that was the only bribe, did I? Stop and think...if you were a major corporation looking at a controversial development which was likely to face major oppostion, what would you do? Think of Sun Tzu, think of Machiavelli....put a little deception plan in place. Offer something like a footy school..many can see that is a bribe, so the opposition concentrates on that. But because it's not big enough to be a substancial bribe then the assumption is made by a mayority then they may have good intentions after all. But the real stuff is going on behind the scenes - and that's were the brown envelopes are passed.
