Having watched a U tube clip on the subject, the figures involved are obscene. Other than the £300k owed to HMRC, there’s also £14mill to UK pensioners,£5mill in deposits from US customers,£16mill deposits from UK customers, £20 mill deposits from Japanese customers, £5mill owed to Chinese development companies, £4 mill in UK grants, and a £750k loan to UK banks. And no doubt that’s just for starters.
It’s interesting that there seemed to be a queue of Tory MPs lining up to associate themselves with this ‘great British brand’.Stephen Barclay the BREXIT secretary stated that Norton was an example of a “great business” that would thrive when Britain leaves the EU. Stuart Garner the boss at Norton claimed he had no fears about BREXIT and said it would bring “huge opportunity” “It's what the country voted for so let's get on with it,"Norton went bust the very same week the UK left the EU.

QuoteFucks sake mate. could the mods not make the b word automatically delete the whole post please? pretty please?What I’m saying is the Tory government poured cash into this ‘most British’ of businesses. Were they audited? Why did they not know about the pension fund concerns? Meanwhile, Norton thanked them for the cash by praising BREXIT, and the Tories had the media push the story. Great British buiness looking forward to BREXIT - blah blah blah. Maybe they didn’t care – maybe all they wanted was their pro BREXIT story.Who knows – the whole thing sucks – just like BREXIT itself.
