So let’s get this straight…

1. Philip Green buys BHS for £200 million

2. Assets strips the company and pays £400 million in dividends to Mrs Green living in tax exile in Monaco

3. With BHS losing £80 million per annum, Green sells BHS for a nominal £1 to some dubious private investors (check them out)

4. The BHS pension fund now has a shortfall of £571 million, affecting 20,000 plus people 

5. 11,000 people may lose their jobs.

6. Sir Philip Green has a personal fortune of around £3.5 billion.

7. Green treats himself to a second super yacht – this one costing £100 million.

Wouldn’t it be nice if he:

  • sold one of his yachts to help his former employees so the tax payer won’t have to make up a little of the shortfall to BHS pensioners. The Pension Protection Fund is funded by a levy on all final pension schemes ie me (I think). 
  • returned his Knighthood 
  • apologised to a lot of people.

Who are the real scroungers in our society?
