Its about Marshall Wace and BlackRock, the US-based investment institution that hired former chancellor George Osborne as an adviser last year, on a £650,000 salary. Its about wealth shuffling and the lies that were dished out in July of last year. Its about Carillion still being able to buy public sector contracts when clearly it was about to hit the wall. This is about corporate governance regulations being so lax and how senior executives will walk away from this unscathed.

I love the way you have just tried to turn this round to suggest our concerns about what has just happened are somehow mocking the poor souls who are going to walk away from this jobless, moneyless and possibly homeless.

You added zilch to the topic other than mock those of us talking about it.
If I add so little to topics, stop replying to me, rather than wade in with the tedious accusations.
