    I'm starting to think that US companies should be banned from buying any UK company. From Mars bars to old people's homes, football clubs to insurance, everything gets shut down, asset stripped and wrecked.

    started a topic First the AA, now the RAC.

    First the AA, now the RAC.

    Another one bites the dust:

    Private Equity Companies are so wonderful.

    Just ask Philips Semiconductors, Freescale, Southern Cross etc etc etc.

    The private equity lot are worse than asset strippers.

    The company gets loaded with debt that the scumbags used to buy it in the first place.

    Shooting is too good for 'em.

    Here's another casualty:
