Here’s a prime example of the sort of stuff which annoys many (particularly me) and leads to ‘fat cat’ accusations. Profits at ‘wealth manager’ Charles Stanley have been falling. They’ve reacted, predictably, by cutting middle management and back office jobs; then, surprise surprise, the bosses get a whacking pay rise! You may remember that their ‘chief global strategist’ is Brexiteer John Redwood, who, after the referendum, advised their clients to pull money out of the UK. Trouble is, we all get tarred by their dirty brushes. I despair.

Here’s the flip side. Should a business not have the right to choose whom it serves? If you as a client, or more likely potential client, rub us up the wrong way, are a declared anti-vaxxer or support the barges, can we not, as a business, say ‘Be Gone’?
