Qui bono? Follow the money.
In a capitalist society who benefits most from a complex tax code:
Accountants, tax consultants, wealth planners.
Who benefits most from litigation?
Regulatory compliance keeps a lot wealthy people in business. Lawyers, accountants, consultants, HR, risk.

He has no vision for the UK, and if he did, he lacks the ability to communicate it. His fealty to Trump & his blindness to genocide destroy his reputation for human rights. He's finished.

09.09.2025 21:57 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Well I think your example aligns a bugbear of mine in that management largely no longer manage a company for the benefit of stakeholders (Friedmanβs shareholders included) but largely to jump through hoops of compliance. Iβm not surprised JLR were looking the wrong way. Iβm just dumbfounded by it.

Regulatory compliance on customer data is one thing, but surely management must see the (shareholder) value in protecting their operations even from a Friedman perspective. Surely they donβt need regulated into action here? Or are you saying theyβve being inhibited in some way?
