Which would be an awesome riposte. Except unlike you I'm not a small minded bigot.

Ha ha ha priceless. Why are your 'type' on the increase - those sad souls full of hate, bitter as f**k, just gagging to accuse someone of any sort of ism that fits their screwed-up agenda? Pinched-face, tight-arse losers.

Always the sign of somebody with no argument. They just make stuff up and argue against that instead

All because I noted you never missing an occasion to showcase your anti-semitism...

Which is bollocks. I attacked that thieving bastard Green. You chose to get personal and attack me because of my choice of prose, doubtless hoping you'd get back-up here. You're a snide.

The latest commercial giant to be exposed as just another greedy, petty hustler on the take?

Step forward Sir Martim Sorrell.

www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-43771974

I liked this:

"In a statement, the firm said: 'The previously announced investigation into an allegation of misconduct against Sir Martin has concluded. The allegation did not involve amounts that are material.'"

[perrykneeham]

Especially im light of this .....:

"One of UK's top-paid executives. His pay package in 2015-16 was £70m - then the biggest in UK corporate history - which more than a third of investors refused to back
A lack of succession planning for after the 73-year-old's retirement has caused some anxiety among investors"

[perrykneeham]

Raping it much, Martin?

[perrykneeham]

Imagine! Another priapic Bremainer is revealed to be nothing more than a self-interested, establishment, carpet-bagging, crook.

Imagine!

Bremain is as bremain does.

Yep, Brexit causing the demise of another great company. Still who cares, eh, as long as the numpties get to throw a spanner in the works of the British economy?

[perrykneeham]

The company's doing fine. The spirit of Brexit has exposed and dismissed another charlattan, jealously guarding his power and revoltingly large salary while fiddling like fury and treating other peoples' money like his own

Viva Brexit!

Spirit of Brexit - ha ha ha ha ha ha!!

Nah, I give up. Good luck to you. You'll need it.

If more than a third refused to back him, then that says to me that close on two-thirds voted in favour of his remuneration package.

To some, here and elsewhere, that's a thumping majority.

[perrykneeham]

I guess it depends how the shares are allocated. I imagine that it went something like 1/3 belonged to Mr. Sorrell and another 1/3 belonged to Mrs. Sorrell.

[moggyonspeed]

FYI Martin Sorrell owns 1.39% of WPP shares; no other individual owns more.

The largest institutional investor owns 5.25%.

That's for WPP Group as a whole, as listed in the UK; WPP plc is listed on the NYSE, where Sorrell drops off the radar completely.

[perrykneeham]

I think you've invested rather too heavily too.

So in pre-EU days, BHS was a highly successful retailer which only went down the shitter after Maastricht?

Shareholders anticipating a rebound from the company’s worst annual performance since the financial crisis were left disappointed.

[perrykneeham]

What? Disappointed with less than £ 70M each? Still making a profit, no?
