Breaking news and expert analysis on fast-moving AIM and LSE listed shares

Today I reveal the full extent of his career of business trainwrecks and the sham projections of the Outsourcery IPO.

The BBC lives in a completely fantasy world where facts and reality are whatever they say they are. They’ve found a telegenic black businessman so he’s obviously awesome and the best thing ever and if we don’t all agree then we’re probably just evil, angry bigots.
The sooner the licence fee is abolished the better.

Is this a case of debts financing lifestyles? When more people lose their money, getting stopped in the street might become a pain.

“Mission Impossible”? Cock tale more like it! Still, I bet his parents are very proud (old man a Cambridge graduate eh?).
