    “If what other websites have reported is true, I imagine those millions of pounds of "profit" over the past five years have enabled the suspended directors to justify enormous salaries. While it appears they have lived in luxury, driving cars worth more than many of our houses, those lower down the food chain, facing redundancy may be struggling to pay their food and heating bills next winter. This seems symbolic of what has happened in western society as a whole.

    Is it time there was an independent, EXTERNAL investigation into what it appears has been happening at Danwood? Perhaps with ex employees and customers coming forward and giving evidence to make sure justice is done?”
