A&O and Herbies share £3m of public funding for Belfast launches

@Thomas Hobbes First, don't be such a patronising tw*t, yes readers of the Lawyer do understand how capitalism works. Second, you are forgetting the reason why people are getting angry here - this is about a firm sacking dozens of loyal staff not because they have failed, not because the firm is under threat, but because the partners want to boost PEP just a tiny bit more, while giving clients the spin about having made an effort to reduce costs - even though overall fees to clients will stay the same - or rise. The whole process of gettting Government money just makes it worse. And as to creating jobs - that is bonkers - they are sacking people in London to hire the same number of people in NI. What good does that do the national economy? All it does it mess up a lot of people's lives.
