    About the author, via Wikipedia:

    Forte took over from his father as CEO of the Forte Group in 1992. In the mid-1990s, the Forte Group was faced with a hostile takeover bid from Gerry Robinson's Granada. Ultimately, Granada succeeded with a £3.87 billion tender offer in August 1995 that left the family with around £350 million in cash.

    Fuck off and die, capitalist trust fund baby pig.

    Forte paid for a victory party for Boris Johnson in one of his hotels upon him winning the 2019 Conservative Party leadership election.[7] He donated £100,000 to the Conservative Party during the 2019 general election.

    Fuck off reactionary scum. I wish this article was true so this cunt could get liquidated.

      I really would love to have exposing stuff like that on newspapers clippings when they do bad takes. Like whether the grandparents and parents were of money, whether the person had to work during studies (in case they did) and stuff like that. The material conditions and generational wealth transfer exposes so many.

      If you shit your own pants, it was a communist that somehow snuck into your butt and pooped out of it in spite of your best intentions. The system is never to blame.

    Imagine how fringe and loony your politics have to be that you look at the half-baked inadequate measures of a completely dominant conservative story majority and you go, “this is just like communism to me.”
