    Ot a taste of our wonderful rich folk

    Retail billionaire Sir Philip Green has been named in Parliament as the businessman accused of ***ual harassment.

    Lord Peter Hain, who identified him in the Lords, said it was his duty to name him given the "serious and repeated" nature of the allegations.

    On Tuesday the Telegraph ran an article accusing an unnamed businessman of racial and ***ual abuse of staff.

    A legal injunction prevented the Telegraph from publishing his identity.

    The Daily Telegraph said it spent eight months investigating allegations of bullying, intimidation and ***ual harassment made against the businessman.

    The newspaper said interviews with five members of staff had revealed that victims had been paid "substantial sums" in return for legal commitments not to discuss their experiences.

    Lord Peter Hain said he had been contacted by someone "intimately involved in the case".

    He said that given the use of non-disclosure agreements "to conceal the truth about serious and repeated ***ual harassment, racist abuse and bullying", he felt it was his duty under Parliamentary privilege to name Sir Philip as the individual in question.

    Lord Hain said publication of the story was "clearly in the public interest".

    Sir Philip has been contacted by the BBC for comment, but did not immediately respond.

    This is shocking if found to be true.Capitalism at its very best perhaps? ...and a big Tory supporter as well...It all adds up.

    Nothing would give me greater pleasure than to see this piece of work doing a 20 stretch inside Armley , his money handed to the tax man and his yacht sold with the proceeds going to charity .

    Pete Hain the anti-Apartheid campaigner, who was the victim of an attempted frame-up, probably instigated by agents of the racist white minority S.African government of the time, with the collaboration of MI5. The trial concluded that there was no case against him . Surprised that you haven't read that on any of the conspiracy sites the you frequently visit, although they probably would view Apartheid as a good thing

    In spite of all his misdeeds he's still Sir Philip
    Keith Vaz seems to enjoy similar immunity from the Labour Party

    Lifted the unacceptable face of capitalism bit from the BBC headline frog. The Tory bit is my thinking that big Tory backers often seem to be corrupt.
