francypants Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 I think they ought to put Philip Green in a room with the people who are losing their jobs, all 8,000 of them, and let him explain to them personally where the money went.... ............ Agree I'd love to see that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna B Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 ............ Agree I'd love to see that. But unfortunately you never will. Super rich people like Sir Philip Green never have to answer for their sins. No matter what they do, they are allowed to get away with it, so they can continue to fill their bottomless coffers.

Did he do anything illegal? For the record, I do not like the guy!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if technically what he did was illegal. He's not the first & won't be the last if we don't change things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The UK government could remove a few tax loopholes for people like him. Build a few hospitals with the revenue, or save a steel works or whatever.

But green sold it fir £1 to a bankrupt racing driver with no retail experience This was after he had stripped £580 million from the business. He had no intention of finding a solution to keep the business running & saving those jobs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was already a billionaire. How much money does one man need? Don't you think he has any responsibility to the people he employed, and their pensions?
