He annihilated BHS , I feel sorry for all those who work in the industry that's about to fall , and feel strongly that this crook should be stripped of his knighthood

[Ellipsis]

He should never have been knighted in the first place. The problem with stripping him of it is that it owns up to that.

^^ true

[Peter Pedant]

yeah no a bit of schadenfreude
BUT - 10 000 jobs are at risk innit ?

and yeah I did think Philip G asset stripped BHS and then passed it on - and of course the 10 000 - are they gonna get pensions?

[Ellipsis]

Probably not.

[Sunk]

He is a ghastly man, but also unfortunate.
He is a victim of Covid and the Government’s incompetence.
Sadly Green won’t suffer, but his poor ex-employees face a bleak Christmas.

When the mighty fall in business, they have a nasty habit of getting up again. Some American guy called Trump has had no fewer than six of his businesses file for bankruptcy. I wonder whatever became of him?

He made a move to the beauty game, mostly tanning and hair.

LOL @ Douglas ;-)

[Theland]

Maybe like Branson, he will ask for a bailout.

[Deskdiary]

Buenchico is dead right.

I’m my job I’ve lost count of the times companies have failed and then ‘phoenixed’ without any liabilities, leaving creditors with no recourse.
