The Butler Did It

 Not many British businessmen are household names, so when one of them slapped an injunction on the Telegraph to stop it identifying him as a sexist, racist bully we had about five to choose from- and all of them passed under a cloud- which was a little unfair to the innocent four. I didn't see how the dam could hold- not now in the #MeToo era- and it didn't. Philip Green was one of the five- in fact, given his track record, the prime suspect- but I'd discounted him because I didn't think he still had a reputation to lose.
