Now that’s clever. Daniel’s bakery have ‘invented’ the best of all possible worlds. They’ve combined two of the possible three best things there are and come up with a Spurs Cookie. A big one. (The third best thing can indeed be combined with the other two, but only in private, preferably in a room with plastic sheeting on the floor). They were going to make an Arsenal cookie but it made people sick. Made me sick. And yes, they could have put the logo on a lettuce leaf, put it in a juicer with kale and gluten-free-wheatgerm (??) and other green shit, but it wouldn’t have the same effect. No. Spurs, cookie, perfect.

I’ll buy one for Philip Green. Or Sir (for the time-being) Philip Green. Because they want to take away his knighthood. To ‘de-Sir’ him. Un-knighted. Like… like… well, I can’t think of anyone else who’s ever been humbled in such a way. Mainly because the only official grounds for removal of an honour is by committing a criminal offence. Except (Lord) Jeffrey Archer. Who did commit a crime (against literature), and then went to prison, but managed somehow to hang on to his lordiness. Anyway, Philip Green has committed no crime.

I would like to state though that I don’t like Philip Green. I think he’s vile. I think he IS the ‘spiv’ that they kept banging on about in parliament, I think he’s an immoral asset-stripper who gives no consideration to his employees whatsoever, who is only concerned about how much money he can make for himself, which is then shipped over to Lady Green in Monaco so the fat fuck doesn’t even have to pay tax on it. There is no decency in Philip Green whatsoever, on any level. Judging books by covers is, in his case, bang on the money. His money, loads of it.

But he hasn’t committed a crime. Therefore until he is even accused of such, and he won’t be, because nothing he’s done is ‘criminal’ in the literal sense, parliament voting that his knighthood be ‘removed’ is either so much hot air (they’re good at that in Westminster) or just a way of showing how much they all hate the man.

With good reason. But should parliament have the power to de-noble this man just because they don’t like him? Don’t approve of his apparent lack of morality? Envy his billions?

I think it would be more appropriate to put Sir Philip in the stocks and let all the former employees of BHS pillory him with rotten tomatoes and sharp objects. Who really gives a shit if he’s ‘Scumbag’ or ‘Sir Scumbag’?

Happy Saturday
