You can see in Duncan’s eyes he has respect for these lads, as they’re on the journey he went on himself. I’m going through a journey like that myself at the moment too, 15 years ago I was earning £10,000 a year in full time work in Stoke. Now I’m 3 months into my own business and I’ve cleared AU$55k in profit whilst living in Australia. It takes balls to work for yourself and the risk can be massive. Big respect to these lads.

An opposition that swung to far left, and instead of coming up with a new manifesto, or even a return to their working class roots. They resort to name calling and mudslinging. Somethings gone terribly wrong if working class people feel like Boris and Co are their best chance of representation. Name calling of the opposition and voters never work. Just ask Hilary Clinton.

@rory clynes yes it's true. He was worth £ 430m before the divorce and after the divorce was said and done his net worth fell to £ 85m, so his wife took £ 345m. I still don't understand how that was fair..but I guess she really was the golddigger he called her out to be. Anyways, he's a businessman through and through and has built his empire up again, adding another £ 200m to his net worth over the last 8 or 9 years.

James Caan's offer would have given him enough control over the business where he would have a conflict of interest in "spiking the ball" on the early financial target years so that he'd never have to part with his initial 50 percent. Accordingly, his conditional refund of 15% is worth zero. Duncan's offer was not only better, but also more honest. Shame on you, James!
