It is a disgrace.

Pure and simple.

A massive company finds the cash to fulfill its obligations to Sir MB to buy out his remaining stake in BMI and then years later cannot make sure the staff get the full pensions they have worked for and been promised.

And it lets the UK - pensioners and taxpayers. that is US, who fund the pension protection fund - pick up the tab.

As my old Dad used to say when he heard news like this from Germany: I got this RAF tie for bombing Nazi b*st*rds, and I obviously missed a few.

(I was going to say just: bombing the b*'s, but he used the word Nazi to mean bad Germans.)

There are many many good Germans. They obviously just don't run LH.
