There was no point in him saving Woolworths, the company had been struggling for years, and the recession was the final straw. The business model doesn't work in the 21st century. Millions aren't going to lose money if woolworths goes bust.

Good post. You are right. The 20% to 50% cut that I have predicted is already in motion.
It really hurts that as ordinary people are losing their jobs - the bankers are about to pay themselves record bonuses......
This really has been the biggest HEIST in history.
In The Know
The Royal Mail is being trimmed down - to be sold off.
Interesting that NuLabour are planning to do exactly what Maggie did to the miners and smash their union.
Others will follow. In the North binmen have been to strike (Leeds) for five weeks and the Council (with Gov backing) have been told NOT to back down. Plans to sell-off the service are well in hand.
Firemen in South Yorkshire have also just had the first one day strike (of several planned).
Even the police will face cuts - the four Chief Constables in Yorkshire all met yesterday to plan how to pool resources so they can cope with the expected 5-20million cuts which South Yorkshire CC said he was expecting.
THE COST OF NU-LABOUR IS ABOUT TO BE PAID FOR - BUT THE BROWN-NOSER WILL NOT ADMIT THIS (UNLIKE THE lIBdEMS AND tORIES) UNTIL AFTER THE ELECTION !

I think you are probably right Locked Out. I think he was getting a "job" ready for himself after he gets voted out next year.....
Problem for the rest of us - we will be paying for his bail out for 20 years or so.
Locked Out
Not likely to be looking for a job in the postal or retail sectors next year though, is he? He's looking after the most important thing of all. Himself. What's the betting that this time next year he's on the board of some bank or other? And they call me cynical...
