Control of pension schemes should be completely removed from the employer. If your job has a pension scheme it should be in control of the employee and ringfenced so that funds can only be added to it. BHS, Tata and all the others swanning off and expecting the government to cover the lack of pension funds is ridiculous.

I'd give his daughter one (or two), though.

As a confirmed definite leftie, capitalism isn't the problem, its people and the way that capitalism is implemented to serve the interests of those people with power and capital. Capitalism is such a broad subject, as it really refers to the idea of profit and loss accounting, and the means of turning surplus resources into benefit. You listen to some people and you'd think it is about creating poverty, eating babies and kicking cats. The issue really lies in the failure to regulate and control peoples capacity to use capitalism as an excuse to unethical and immoral ends (which arguably in some cases isn't capitalism anyhow). Of course there is a problem when its not actually a surplus of resources that are being 'exchanged' with corporate interests (such as child labour or regimes which are bankrolled by western powers to allow exploitation of their resources). We just like to call it capitalism. Adam Smith would never have stood for that kind of nonsense. I'm surprised you've not been kicked out for analysing a root cause rather than screaming Marxist rhetoric. That seems to be the default reaction on Facebook. I don't know if it's an age thing Edited by johnfirewall (27 Apr 2016 2.39pm)

Green et al have been ripped apart in this report...
Compare the news coverage of this proven scandal with the news coverage of alleged but unevidenced practices by Corbyn's supporters. Green should do time for this but he won't.

Problem is they will pay no serious price. Its like a company that lies in its advertising, sees an upturn of 200m in sales, but gets fined 5m for lying. There in lies the problem of capitalism, we are prone towards excusing its abuses far to easily, especially when that abuse is by those who have status and power within systems of capital. We've become increasingly Milton Freedman and Ayn Rynd, rather than Adam Smith, seeing capitalism as a tool for personal, rather than social benefit. Capitalism, at its basis, remains a system of exchange that applies a reasonable methodology for the valuation of limited resources - and will remain relevant until humanity can escape from that limitation through technological means. The problem is regulation, control and distribution of the benefits and gains from capitalism - which is really what Marx and Engels focused on - The failures of Capitalism, being of greater concern than its success

Shouldn't this thread's title be "Sir Philip Green"? Notable tax evader, fraudster, con man and wide boy rewarded for service to his country with a knighthood. Come to think of it ...we don't get an awful lot right do we? Idiots and crooks seem to prevail. Who's next? Lord David Cameron? Sir George Osborne?
