Clarence Mitchell fails in latest bid to be Tory candidate.

[G-Unit]

How many posters here criticising Mitchel have had more successful  careers than he has

It depends what you see as success.

His public affairs clients have included the Iraqi Prime Minister, the Government of Iceland, Microsoft, Bank of America, Lloyds Banking Group, Heineken, Hewlett Packard and Costa Cruises.

Within his crisis management portfolio, Clarence provided strategic counsel to Costa’s Chairman and CEO during the Costa Concordia cruise liner disaster in Italy in January 2012. He also chaired a seminar on UK police-media relations post Leveson for the Metropolitan Police Senior Leadership Group, co-presenting with the Met Commissioner Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe.

Can someone point out how this is not a successful career?  I suspect if this was the CV of a prominently McCann sceptic some people would not have a problem with it.

Is there a connection between his CV and the thread title?  Other than CM has not yet made it to parliament?

Perhaps you could direct your question to Alice who posted the links to Mitchell’s job description (which I in turn quoted from) and Linkedin page.  If you believe my post is off topic just report it, and Alice’s too of course.

"Can someone point out how this is not a successful career?"

You and Davel have gone down this same route.

Mitchell was either good enough for Peterborough or he wasn't.  It seems his CV was not enough to get him selected.

Lots of people have successful careers, but is it relevant?

And why is this relevant to the current case

Interesting that the pair of have switched to relevance, at the same time.

I did read it.
I made no comment as to whether I thought he was successful.
Apart from working for the McCanns, after leaving the Beeb he didn't stay anywhere long enough to see the shine off the ball. IMO

I would rather be seen as arrogant than as base spirited as some have been on this thread.

I hope that you are never subjected to such a contemptable attack if at any time you miss out on something that you really want

In fairness, he does have a track record of providing 'spin' and / or 'crisis management' for some odious / dubious characters: Matthew Freud (son of Clement 'One bark for yes, two barks for no', the proven nonce), Iraqi Prime Minister, Costa (of Concordia infamy  - 32 killed when cruise liner ran aground), Cambridge Analytica (no further comment required), the disgraced government of Iceland (country, not supermarket), post the financial meltdown, Lloyds, post financial meltdown.

So one may form an opinion of a man who specialises in damage control for morally bankrupt entities, who now wants to run with foxes and the hounds and work for constituents as an MP? A career path back to the inner sanctum of a lofty cabinet position?
He might be very good at what he does and is very effective, but one wouldn't admire the work of an assassin for the same reasons.

Good morming General and welcome to the forum.

Just to remind you that some of the best lawyers represent this type of person too.   Do you think they maybe present their clients in the best light too ?

They also represent innocent people, as does Clarence Mitchell.

Sounds a 'shoe in' for politics then
