Ex-BHS owner Philip Green branded 'unacceptable face of capitalism'

"What kind of man is it who can count his fortune in billions but does not know what decent behaviour is?"

Former BHS boss Philip Green has been branded the "unacceptable face of capitalism" as a UK parliamentary inquiry found he systematically extracted huge sums from the collapsed store group while leaving its pension fund in deficit.

In an excoriating joint report, two Commons select committees accused the entrepreneur of seeking to blame anyone but himself for the firm's failure and said he has a "moral duty" to make a "large financial contribution" to the 20,000 pensioners facing substantial cuts to their benefits.
