Default Separated at birth

But bound to be reunited in hell.

Sir Robert Maxwell and Sir Philip Green.

Two peas from the same pod.

The unacceptable face of capitalism ???.

You bet !!!!

Here here! Guess who knighted Green. The arch Bliar of course who was entranced by his entourage of models and similar types. Theres plenty of pictures of him swanning round Ibiza with Kate Moss et al. A truly revolting person who is interested only in himself. As a country we provided the environment in which he built his business. His response was to settle in Monaco put two fingers up to the UK and pay his wife millions in dividends. Truly nasty piece of work.

He should be immediately stripped of his Knighthood, as he has betrayed all that it is supposed to stand for.

This is not what Capitalism is about! Simply Human greed. He should be made to sell his superyacht and put the money towards the BHS pensions. Nasty people

Seemingly he has 3 yachts.

As you say out and out greed.

I dont think people like him are capable of doing the right thing.

He would not know the right thing if it smacked him in the face

I usually try to look behind the scenes to get some kind of perspective on media led witch hunts but I have been stymied by a lack of obvious evidence in this case. It’s hard to understand why so many otherwise respectable figures remain in contact, business or social, with such snakes if only for fear the python might eventually turn on them at some stage, using knowledge he might gain from fraternisation to swallow them whole. Stupid me, the evidence wasn’t secret at all.

A quick trawl reveals the single and only company that was a ‘public’ company, with shareholders and a board that could remove him, was called Amber Day (a Jeans firm) in the early 1990’s. Following serious questions about his corporate governance, shorthand for ‘He did WHAT?’, his fellow directors removed him toot sweet. From then on his businesses have been directly under his control and even when other associated companies, having ultimate ownership of the umbrella, might have exerted fiduciary duties, they were either negligent or incompetent and merely in situ for noble decoration of the letterheads.
So, a knighthood for services to business? Speaks for itself, I think. Look who awarded it.
