Despite the fact that he’s an avid Brexiteer, I was feeling pretty sorry for Neil Woodford. He was an heroic figure in our little world of financial services for his many years with Invesco Perpetual. His solo career started with super-stardom and when he fell, he was thoroughly kicked on the way down by revelling tabloids and trade press. Then I read that he trousered £20m in dividends last year. For which most of us would put up with several kickings and maybe even vote for Boris. Well, p’raps not.
