He's sitting next to his PR bod, who looks like he wants to crawl under the table.

He's coming off like a surly schoolboy. Massive Bastard.

I always feel for the staff in that shop, in the one near me they have a supervisor who shouts at them, and I think great and earning a pittance too

Yes I am. He's coming across as incompetent to me. Apparently has no clue about his own business . Poor little Mike.

The company culture seems ghastly. Ashley stammered his way through questions about company culture and admitted he doesn't have a handle on things. His CEO isn't getting his £4m bonus. He should pay it to the poor souls stiffed by their appalling working practices.

Is the worm finally turning on these shitty employment practises? I really hope so.

So basically he doesn't have a fucking clue what's going on in his business does he.

Nope. And hasn't read his briefs either. He's like a study of how not to handle media. His PR bloke must be sweating bricks.

on a similar vein, anyone else think Philip Green should be strung up by his knackers & made to give his yacht back??

gingerboy1912 · 07/06/2016 12:19

The whole culture in SD seems to be built on fear and intimidation.

FancyPuffin · 07/06/2016 12:20

He looks exactly like a fat David Cameron Angry Bird

WWYD2016 · 07/06/2016 12:21
