    Anyone else think we would be better off without this bloke. At least we did not use his ventilators.
    How can you lie there and think of England

    I'm delighted his ventilators weren't needed, but if we had needed them I don't think anybody would have given a damn who supplied them.

    Maybe it's just me, because I used to work in a maternity unit, but don't those diagrams look creepily gynaecological?

    Is the reduction by 4 caused by them losing money?  I should think it's more likely they have gone to live abroad, where the climate is better and they can pay even less tax.

    He’s still the richest and still a billionaire ... 
    it would be interesting to know what percentage of his wealth he’s lost, compared with what percentage of our pension pots have disappeared .... 😱 or maybe it wouldn’t 😭 

    Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.





  • He and his family have lost 3.6 billion, down to 16.2 billion.

    Oh dear. 
    I wonder where it went. Into the pockets of other billionaires - certainly not his workers'
    Apparently, he moved his operations abroad because it wasn't easy enough to sack his employees in the UK.
    I'm sure he's hoping to sell enough of his £400 hairdryers to make up the difference.

    Probably just their/his assets losing value.

    Urged everyone to vote for BREXIT, then promptly took his company abroad.
