My obsession is blowing up all politicians best laid plans, regardless of party or ideological allegiance.

He's the damn joker, but for journalism. That's crazy.

To nick the information first, interpreted in my own way, and blitz it on the F.C.'s front page.

My reward, the knowledge that when the financial chronicle first edition drops, the scoop will prompt night editors to ring up my rivals,

Pistor asleep, and bollock them for missing the store.

Did Roberto Pesto ever do this in 1997?

Like, did he do this at the FT? Ever?

Well, somewhat.

So he was involved in reporting on like the financial prices.

That's even sad because now it's not even just, oh, I wish I could do that.

It's, oh, I wish I could do that. It's, oh, I wish I could do that again.

Oh, my God, dude.

That's grim.

Yeah.

He's, like, definitely has done actual journalism.

Like, he got the scoop on Northern Rock seeking emergency financial out from the Bank of England

in 2007.

That's when I remember Roberto Pesto becoming prominent around 2008 and the coverage of the

financial crisis.

I think he was the economics editor at the BBC or he was certainly an economics correspondent

around that time.

And that is when I really remember the pest.
