BHS: Philip Green attacks ‘kangaroo court‘ inquiry
Former BHS owner Sir Philip Green has accused the co-chair of a parliamentary inquiry into the collapse of the firm of overseeing a “kangaroo court“.
In the war of words between Sir Philip and Frank Field, the tycoon said the MP had tried to create a “false narrative”. He said he had not broken any rules and there was “no legal liability” for him to fill a £571m pension deficit.

As all the international journalists we honor in this room tonight and every year know only too well: First the media is accused of inciting, then sympathizing, then associating — until they suddenly find themselves accused of being full-fledged terrorists and subversives. Then they end up in handcuffs, in cages, in kangaroo courts, in prison — and then who knows?
所有今晚以及每年在這裡接受此項榮譽的國際記者都很清楚,首先是媒體遭到指責,說他們煽動,接著說他們同情,然後說他們有關聯—緊接著媒體突然發現他們被指控是徹頭徹尾的恐怖分子,是顛覆者。接下來就是上手銬,關進籠子,在袋鼠法庭受審,鋃鐺入獄,然後誰知道呢?
