Oh my, the usual suspects blindly bashing business again. What a turn up for the books eh?

How many of them have ever run a business do you reckon?

Easy to bash shareholders too, when without them there'd be precious little business. Most of us are shareholders directly or indirectly via our pension funds and returns do vary quite a lot but of course the usual suspects ever take note that owning shares is a risky business and the dividend returns are linked to performance and go down as well as up.
