Default We,re all in it together part 43 (or is it 44?)

There,s a chap called bob Robbins. He,s tesco,s chief operating officer.

Eight days before tesco,s recent profit warning, mr robbins decided to sell his shares in the company that employs him.

This netted him a cool Two HUNDRED THOUSAND POUNDS !!!!!

He claims that it was all just a "coincidence".

The company has defended him.

Meanwhile, despite poor performance over Christmas, chief executive phill Clarke still managed to get paid SIX POINT NINE MILLION POUNDS !!!!!

Something's up here JB....I've agreed to try and agree with you in 2012. It's a big step.
Insider Trading comes to mind and let's keep an eye on the stock or any company announcements that come up over the next little while.....any idea of the ticker and where it's traded? I'll keep an eye on it and report back...I sound like staff but whatever.....P

Yes this should be investigated by the relevant bodies. It very similar to Piers Morgans downfall when he was given some insider knowledge when he was editor of the Daily mirror in which he made afew quid speculating in a company that he got a heads up for that was being taken over.

suspicious indeed,,
bit like when tony blair quit as pm, then suddenly the credit crunch.
it was as if he knew it was going to happen
what a coincidence that was,,,

still last year he apparntly earned over 12 million quid and only paid 300,000 of it in tax... alledgedly.. oh well, being an alledged 33 degree freemason helps i suppose.

yes mr GF.

good old 'labour' tony hides his earnings in a complex web of off-shore company's. And he is paid as a representative of goldman sax, thanks to his pals in bush's right-wing cabal.

Two of his biggest benefactors are goldman sax, and the israeli government.

Tony Blair is scum in my eyes, every penny hes ever earned has cost so many lives in the wars he started for the companies who now pay him his money. I hope it chokes him and his life is miserable and his eternity is hell.

Total shitbag.

You two are scaring me....I did do a little research however. The key here will be what happens with the stock price. There was some significant activity at the year end "Xmas announcment"....I'm all over it.
