another example of a business that works when things are good, but hasn't prepared for the predictable downturn. Did Hunter and GB go to the same school. Interestingly I read an article earlier that stated that Sir Tom Hunter may struggle to have enough cash to donate the 1.4bln pounds he was going to to charity, but GB seems to have no difficulty at all when finding funds to give to 'deserving' causes like fraudulent banks, benefit cheats and councillor 'fat cats', only difference is that Hunters money would have come from providing a service, while GB's comes from 'stealing' from future generations, no wonder the church of England are up in alms.
