SCOTIA -- the sequel! (From 29 June '01)

If we have no say at all, then we have no need to pay any debts. I didn't bring down the curtain, they did. They wish to shorten life of a co, they can pay for burial. We don't even know how much (or should that be how little?) Foscan was knocked out for. A treatment for cancer and also a compound for dieters that were supposed to be worth tens of or hundreds of millions end up liquidated for a sum too little to repay shareholders and bondholders of less than £70m in total? I call that astounding. And therefore it's not my company, as I wouldn't have done that. They could shove any debt up their arse even if there was no limited liabilty, no one asked them to dress in black as early as last January, least of all me.
