That ‘Sir Shifty’ Philip Green will get a £50 million personal pay day from the sale of TopShop whilst 20,000 lose their jobs is an utter outrage
‘Badly behaved boozy Brit abroad’ Sir Philip Green likes to spray champagne rather than sip it and now with news that he and his wife are getting a £50 million personal pay day whilst 20,000 lose their jobs at TopShop, the public will be quite rightly outraged if he’s spotted brandishing a bottle or ten of bubbly.
Whilst the temperamental tycoon’s sister, Elizabeth, quite rightly told ‘Sir Shifty’ and ‘Lady Greed’ to man-up and say sorry as “an expression of compassion and responsibility” in January, on Saturday the Guardian reported that 1,155 unsecured creditors of the Green’s collapsed company – amongst them clothing suppliers and landlords – will receive less than 1% of the money owed to them.
Debts to the public purse via HMRC, another creditor, are not included in that tranche of debts also and what also must be remembered is that Sir Philip and Lady Green will still get to live in luxury just as 20,000 of their former staff head off into penury.
Shame on this pair of pigs and shame on Boris Johnson for not already stripping this robber baron of his very much undeserved title.

what is equally outrageous is that he has not yet been stripped off his knighthood, which should have never have happened at the first place. Disgraceful mockery of an honorable tradition
My God, if there’s any judgement after death, this fat pig and his family would be at the front of the queue. It’s a very evil person that can tie their money up like this, and not pay their creditors.
Not sure how the hell he can sleep at night.
Yes, totally agree, Mr Dodge.
Absolutely disgusting how Philip Green can get a great big fat pay check and not be responsible for 20,000 employees who loose their jobs and pensions. Green should be stripped of all assets.
I just do not understand how the law protects crooks like this guy.
Thousands of hard working people who helped this guy create his dream left on the rubbish heap.
Disgusting. Just imagine how you your self would feel, looking so forward to retiring one day and you learn there is no company pension or pay out because this greedy pig has stashed it all away.
If I was Philip Green I would definitely be watching my back for the rest of my greedy life.
Strip him of his Knighthood!!
