I've not really been following this story, it's a bit tedious, but isn't it a case of state regulation? Or lack thereof? Sounds like another example of big companies, utility companies especially, being allowed to ride rough shod over normal hardworking working people who are just trying to get on in life. Those same people who pay their wages, those customers who they're meant to be serving. Just like the water companies being allowed to dump shit wherever they want, or gas companies being allowed to make ridiculous profits whilst ripping off their bill payers or train companies being allowed steal money for trains that don't work, or indeed HS2 being allowed to rip out 1000s of acres of ancient woodland, for nothing.

 

A decent government wouldn't have allowed stuff like that to happen. These companies like SSE wouldn't be able to do what the fck they liked across the land, other people's land.

 

BRSK are another one. A new internet company on the block who are putting up infrastructure all over the country. They seem to be able to put poles up wherever they like, not even local councils have any say apparently.

 

So it's actually nothing to do with renewable energy, or net zero. Not a direct consequence at least.

It's just a shame that it'll probably be that that sends them to prison, if anything, ever, and not the rest of their general shitebaggery.

I'm not exactly sure but it revolves around abusing and taking advantage of women mainly I think. Plus persuading easily influenced men to give them lots of money. Oh, and not paying tax evidently!

It was money that put Al Capone away - tax evasion (and in prison he caught syphilis that killed him).

 

From what I have read, not nice men, didn't they get arrested for rape somewhere too?

Nah, they're alright, just being "blokes". Apparently.

I'm shocked! Shocked, surprised, and astonished!!

alleged rapist, not been to trial to prove in a court of law yet (in a similar vein that Nigel Farage is a racist)
