Phil's track record (utterances) before and after being sacked forbid me to agree with Cameron's pronouncement.

A trader with a bill of 400,000 in damages en bien.

the trader capped his loss, instead of riding out the trade which could bring down the house. lol

So it was a bad decision to hire Phil....perhaps the guy who made that decision should resign
