I couldn't believe what I read today.

www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8183763/Sell-one-yachts-Outrage-billionaire-Sir-Philip-Green-asks-taxpayer-help.html

Remember his wife took 1.2billion in dividends in 2005? They pay no tax as it's based in Monaco

Now he wants us to pay his staff?!? He took 864million last year?!?

Aibu?

It's atrocious but it's what the scheme is for. If "we" don't pay the staff they won't get paid at all. Sad

Hoggleludo · 06/04/2020 09:22

I understand that.

Maybe we should pay him back what he paid in? Pay back the taxes he's paid. So he can pay his staff?

All those billions acquired via tax avoidance. Why doesn’t he ask Monaco for a bail out as that’s where he “lives”, sorry where Lady Green lives.

Greedy, cheeky fucker!

OnlyFoolsnMothers · 06/04/2020 09:24

Shocker Phillip Green is a scumbag....Hmm

MayTheGodsBeEverInYourFavour · 06/04/2020 09:27

They are based in Monaco. Ask Monaco for help.

We need to remember, afterwards, which companies support our country, & which are parasites.

TheQueef · 06/04/2020 09:28

Philip Green is just a leech.
He is personified what is wrong with the UK.
Making his money off the back of poor people is his lifestyle don't be surprised that he expects the gov to look after his assets it's how he operates.

Outtedagain · 06/04/2020 09:28

I too was “wft”when I read that. Greedy and entitled shitbtreathed man.

NotSuchASmugMarriedNow1 · 06/04/2020 09:28

YABU for expecting Philip Green to act like a decent human being.

HarrietTheShy · 06/04/2020 09:28

Genuinely wonder how they sleep at night.

MayTheGodsBeEverInYourFavour · 06/04/2020 09:39

Haha, one of the comments points out that there are lots of millionaires all over the world desperately searching for second hand yachts, & PB has 3... he could probably have 2 sold within a week & get a great price for them. Utter scumbag.

Hoggleludo · 06/04/2020 10:10

@NotSuchASmugMarriedNow1 hahahah. You're absolutely right!

He is an utter disgrace of a man. The scheme should only be available to businesses that would otherwise fold.

Nanalisa60 · 06/04/2020 10:32

The man is a scumbag!, All he cares about is his millions !!

British Bailouts for British Taxpayers

Just keep saying it.

VivaLeBeaver · 06/04/2020 10:35

He’s scum.

I’m also annoyed about premiership footballers arguing about a 30% paycut. Do they not realise most of the country has had a 20% pay cut.....and most people are on a lot less than them and may really be worrying about mortgages, bills, etc.

Csnt imagine wayne rooney struggling to pay the mortgage if he has a 30% pay cut.

Breaking News

Phillip Green is a cunt.

More on that story later. In other news, The Pope turns out to be Catholic.

astropoodle · 06/04/2020 10:42

I'd be more surprised if the vile man didn't do this.

TheQueef · 06/04/2020 10:55

As a reward to the nation when this is over we should be given a Banishment list.
The fifty biggest cunts in the UK.

Banished to Richard Branson island with absolutely no staff.

PatchworkElmer · 06/04/2020 10:56

He really is an absolute tosser.

On that note ...

Philip green!

@MockersxxxxxxxSocialDistancing, that nearly made me piss myself.

Him and Branson are clearly front-runners for the "Covid-19 Cheeky Fucker" award.

Lenny1980 · 06/04/2020 11:21

@VivaLeBeaver this is exactly why the footballers are annoyed at the stick they are getting. They pay their taxes in the UK, many, many millions of taxes. Yet there are many richer Brits who are tax resident in tax have a such as Monaco and pay as little tax as possible. Why are we pressurising footballers to take pay cuts but not other rich people?

Whilst that’s a strong argument and I agree with many of the points, it misses the point that clubs are choosing to furlough less expensive staff yet are still paying their players full wack.

DGRossetti · 06/04/2020 11:23

If that is true, then the scheme is fucked and we can blame Dishy Rishi. It should have been an all or nothing option.

RonnieBarkingMad · 06/04/2020 11:25

Why would anyone be shocked or surprised at this? It’s not like before he presented himself as one with morals or niceness.

Even looking at pictures of him, it looks like he sweats arrogance and greed. And he always does look very sweaty 🤢

VivaLeBeaver · 06/04/2020 11:25

Well i think the clubs should just furlough the players who lets face it aren’t needed or working. They can drop down to 2.5k a month and see how they like it.

I read the football clubs wanted the players to agree to drop some of their wages so the backroom staff could be paid and i think its awful actually that they’re not helping.

Just because Philip Green and others are behaving badly doesn’t give a green light to other individuals to be selfish arses. Shows them all in a really bad light.
