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.

Anyone who has climbed up through a corporation would be slicker than this glorified street trader.

Agree

KenDoddsDadsDog · 07/06/2016 12:41

I don't believe he's changed any practices and is buying time by being evasive.

gingerboy1912 · 07/06/2016 12:41

I bet he's just peachy when he's had a skin full Hmm

gingerboy1912 · 07/06/2016 12:43

Yep he's filling the time with waffle answering questions with questions back at the panel

gingerboy1912 · 07/06/2016 12:44

Omg he hasn't got a clue why hasn't he read any figures that his team gave him?

Arkwright · 07/06/2016 12:45

What a prat. Why on earth didn't he prepare himself with facts and figures.

gingerboy1912 · 07/06/2016 12:45

Well that was embarrassing entertaining!

Rainbowzippy · 07/06/2016 12:45

Cos he's a conceited wanker who got where he is by shovelling shit and winging it. And I reckon he doesn't get the gravitas of where he is.

Candid is that what we are calling it?

glassgarden · 07/06/2016 12:45

Let's hope similar companies are exposed

gingerboy1912 · 07/06/2016 12:47

Put his foot in it. Fucked up. Dropped a clanger. Cut off his nose to spite his face more like

FairNotFair · 07/06/2016 12:48

He's a treat for the eyes AND the ears. But not necessarily the brain.

gingerboy1912 · 07/06/2016 12:50

He and trump should team upGrin

PausingFlatly · 07/06/2016 12:51

God, I've only been watching a few minutes and I'm already bored with his technique.

Every time he's asked if he will do something, he says, "Why wouldn't I? Wouldn't you? "

So, not a Yes, then.

Rainbowzippy · 07/06/2016 12:52

I don't know why they don't scream WHY HAVENT YOU???

PausingFlatly · 07/06/2016 12:58

Yy!

"Ooh, we should be doing it like that in SD. It would be so wonderful for us, we'd benefit from permanent staff yadda yadda."

SO WHY HAVEN'T YOU?

You've been making headlines for years for your failures in these areas.

AyeAmarok · 07/06/2016 13:04

Am watching it - God he's terrible.

What a disgrace that we let people be treated this way.

He's never going to pay staff their overtime, is he.

YokoUhOh · 07/06/2016 13:04

squoosh Grin

Those SD mugs would make even Mike Ashley look like a Cornish Piskie

KenDoddsDadsDog · 07/06/2016 13:29

Disappointed I couldn't watch the whole thing.

Rainbowzippy · 07/06/2016 13:31

I'm hoping they go back to it later.

On ITV news. Hes admitted hes broken employment laws So whats the punishment for that going to be then. Or am i being too cynical by thinking hes going to get away with it.

HelenaDove · 07/06/2016 13:35

I bet he wants to Vote Leave.

Rainbowzippy · 07/06/2016 13:36

I think he wrote this...
