They've got away with doing this for nearly two decades so a handfull of cases won't break the bank... they'll break the bank some other way, probably offshore anayst pressing wrong button... but anyway. Quietly paid out and move on I reckon.'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!

At the moment, it's very hard to reach C-suite executives (they probably know it, but choose not to listen or are benefitting from the current state of affairs - at a heavy cost to the overall economy/taxpayers)Last edited by yetanotherbob; 6 April 2025, 18:55.Comment
