News that a former female employee of Sir Alan Sugar is suing him for sex discrimination comes as no surprise to Guru.
The only surprise is that it's taken some woman this long to work out the publicity and potential cash to be had by taking Sir Alan to tribunal claiming discrimination. In a double whammy, The Apprentice winner from last year, Lee "that's what I'm talking about" McQueen is also getting pinned for making lewd comments.
Hannah Sebright is pictured smiling happily in the
Daily Mail, presumably looking forward to her out-of-court settlement that she will no doubt pocket in the near future.
Now Guru is not usually one to agree with the readers of this esteemed journal (surely not, I hear you say), but the comments on the article are worth reading. Not much sympathy for Hannah there.
Guru's favourite is from Ian in Menorca (he presumably was so despondent at the state of the UK that he had to leave).
What a great idea for a new TV series. Rather than concentrating on the selection of new business "apprentices" it can be involved in the preparation and coverage of cases for unfair dismissal at tribunals.
Perhaps a suitable title could be "The Dismissed" with the final punchline... "you're compensated".
ITV and BBC please contact me via the Daily Mail."
Genius!
