        Company directors are answerable to their shareholders, not to Chris Kenny.

        I love how a) everyone else is out of touch except, apparently, Kenny. And b) how factoring in environmental impacts of your business is ‘virtue signalling’

        “Signal”, “virtue”. Seem to be the only words in the algorithm. Is this bloke a real person or some sort of automaton in newscorp with a blown fuse?

        Maybe if they signalled virtue in line with simple concepts like trust, value, honesty, etc. But oh no we have to dance to the drumbeat of the leftists/feminists/SJWhttp://www.fighting4fair.com/uncategorized/when-banks-divert-from-banking-to-social-engineering/ …

        They invest in renewables make massive profits of tax payer subsidies, seen by some as champions of the world, it is laughable. And all we get is solar or wind farms that on average supply 30% of are power, and i am being generous. And not a pay rise to be seen for there staff.
