The Times is reporting this morning,the Trade Secretary's comments made last night as he attached Starbuck's chairman Howard Schultz.
Upset by Shultz's comments that
“The concern for us is Western Europe and specifically the UK. The UK is in a spiral.”
Mandleson is reporting as saying
“Why should I have that guy running down the country? Who the **** is he?”.
Well he is a man who has built up the world wide coffee chain so probably knows a little bit about business and although the chain is presently suffering a downturn he comes with a massive reputation.
According to First Post
Mandelson’s attack had been simmering all day as he had been in the same television show when Schultz made the remarks. As soon as he got on air he rebutted the claims, but he left it until later in the day to release his full fury.
