They always do . Always do .

Sammon had an awful reputation previously and had been trading on the fact that Carillion were funding them.

1586

Carillion? Weren’t they a soft rock band in the 80s who had a singer called “Fish” and had a hit with “Kayleigh”?

1587

No pal, and you know that.

1588

That was actually Marillion which rhymes with Carillion, but there is no way of linking the two of them in a pun type situation.

Your best bet is to try something like

Carillion do do do duh
Owe one and a half billion do do do duh

To the tune of Honey, Honey, by the Archie’s.

You could sing it at the creditors meeting.

Indeed.

Carillion formally gone into liquidation.

1591

Incredible really that they couldn’t even be saved by administration. How the fuck did they manage to get into this mess. There’ll be some serious money to be made by the liquidators, an ill wind etc.

1592

Was thinking that this morning. There will be fortunes made out of this. UK govt are rescuing the public service arms. The rest will be divvied up by insiders.

1593

Good old capitalism.

1594

The empire strikes back.

1595

I see the scumbag recruiters all over LinkedIn with their faux empathy for Carillon staff and doing their upmost to help these people out

1596

My thoughts and prayers are with all legitimate creditors. This must be an incredibly harrowing experience for them.

Thanks, mate. A hectic day getting a series of legal documentation finalised and sent out, internal briefing memos drafted up and emergency credit papers presented to the credit committee.

But on this Martin Luther King Day I’m reminded of the great man’s quote: “The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.”

It’s been absolutely exhilarating and I’ve had a fantastic day.

Ready to go into battle again tomorrow on behalf of secured creditors.

pwc or EY pal? An absolute fortune to be had for the liquidator. It seems that EY were lined up for the examinership but pwc are liquidators?

I wonder is lapsed poster @cojak and his leader on the mainland trying to win this one. It wouldn’t surprise me.

You vultures are disgusting

Perhaps you could offer your services on a consultative basis, for a small stipend of course?

1601

It’s the hypocritical champagne socialists like yourself and @Rocko that disgust me.

If you are anti Brexit, you are helping the terrorists. Classic.
Time for another saboteur crushing, surely.
