Never met him (I believe he's a friend of my friend Cowell's) but another example of media assassination - when they turn on you, few can survive.

I only people I feel sorry for are those who could lose their jobs and pensions.

I met him a long time ago. I think he is truly horrible, and I usually like everybody.

A bit like Trump, Honey. We wouldn't want to have dinner with him. But is he a decent company boss? Depends on results and when media kicks in against you, results will collapse.

I cant understand why people gloat over his possible demise though, because he will probably be ok whatever, and thirteen thousand people will lose their jobs.

Phillip Knows how to play the tax game well; just put things in the wife's names, live abroad, run the company in to the ground and write the company off. The government will help the unemployed to some extent but no one is recruiting and won't be for some time.

Again the government/councils haven't actually helped the high street either - only shops that are thriving are charity shops (when they are open), B&M, The Range, supermarkets, CEX and odd the local fabric shop.

I let my partner buy my clothes for me and it's normally from a supermarket or B&M.
