So another company has gone bust owing £60 million to subbies, will imagine the head guys/gals just walking into similar well paid positions while those owed struggle to stay afloat

do it as well as you can,but learn to do it better
says major cashflow problems .... unsurprising when you look who they're contracted to, some of who have been insolvent for years .... HTF were these names ever allowed to become involved in the first place .... Gov trying to keep the ****ers afloat .... a 50 year old company taken down by non/slow/late payment BTLs
.... I'd guess the thin end of a big wedge about to be hammered into the plot

bloody disgraceful stunt they've pulled ... if they aren't about to, they damned well deserve to be taken down by it. Would be nice to think the entire country'd boycott them 'til they sink
we'll end up with another Herald of Free Enterprise disaster with poorly/un-trained and inadequately staffed vessels
Must've had millions off of UK Gov. the last couple of years
