The bloke is a full on slime ball.
Don't forget that this Country actually awarded him a knighthood.

But they know nothing will be done, that's why they become so wealthy. Won't be the last time sadly, plus debenhams will go too imo.

Tip of the iceberg compared to next year and I try to be an optimist. ;(

If someone launders a few thousand pounds from the taxman, they get fined and/or sometimes sent to Prison as well as having to repay the money.

However, you can quite happily take millions from others and, as long as you cosy up to those in the Government, you can not only walk away scot free but go and sit on a yacht in the sunshine in Monaco with the proceeds.

Debenhams is closing as well. That's another 12,000 jobs.

He has done what any other British businessman would do, maximise his income and minimised his liabilities, but within the law, even if it is immoral.
As for his knighthood, Jimmy Savile had one as did Robert Mugabe, he is in good company.
