Gemmill 34508 Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 The bloke is a giant fucking baby. Just reading that the letter he sent finally confirming he would attend had "NOTHING TO HIDE" in big capitals at the top of it. No surprise that he structures his personal correspondence like a Sun article. Â I hope he gets thoroughly embarrassed tomorrow (unlikely, I think these things are all stage managed to an extent, and ultimately the people questioning are as big a cunt as he is). I wouldn't be surprised if he pulled a last minute swerve though and didn't turn up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was meant to start at 10, I wonder if he hasn't shown up. [emoji38] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 30433 Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 I can well imagine him showing up late on purpose. That's his style Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 34508 Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Apparently there's a private session before he goes in with Sports Direct employees giving private testimony about working practices. I'm not sure whether they've been independently summoned or whether they've been carefully selected and briefed by the fat man. Â But aye, that's why they video feed of chunk hasn't started up yet.

Gemmill 34508 Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Unite saying they basically have zero relationship with SD and the review Ashley said he would do 6 months ago doesn't appear to have started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 34508 Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 I'd recommend sticking this on if you can. MPs are cunts but they're out for Ashley today by the look of it. The testimony they've received from the SD workers has been eye opening, or words to that effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 34508 Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Workers paid on prepaid debit cards, presumably because they're not all legal. Get charged 75p every time they make a transaction. Â Fucking hell, this bloke is a gigantic cunt. Â Question: has anything been done about female workers being coerced into sexual relationships at the SD warehouse. Â Answer: No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 34508 Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 These prepaid debit cards that people are required to receive their pay on.  They pay a £10 per month management fee to have the card. SD is charged £2 per month by the company that administers the cards. So SD charges it's employees £8 a month just to get paid. Who could begrudge Mike Ashley a massive heart attack?
