Only the troll above would object to Prem’s proposals but on director responsibilities, I would go further and establish in law the assumption that directors are presumed to have undertaken due diligence in executing their duties. The Murdoch defence of not reading to the bottom of an email would be inadmissible.

Professor of Economics who thinks that debts matter when its private companies.

When it comes to debts and deficits of the state, he keep quite.

So if you are a public sector worker, remember, Prem Sikka thinks you aren’t owed a pension

The Pension Regulator is the problem.

It set the discount rate too high, making the pensions look affordable. That’s why you have a systematic crisis with almost all pensions funds in a deficit.

What’s needed is for personal funds, not collective funds. With a collective fund you will be screwed out of your pension.
