This petition was submitted during the 2017-2019 parliament
Rejected petition Companies going broke, assets and finances should go to all those effected.
Thomas Cook bosses apologised for the disaster they created, and ran off with whatever funds remained. Plus their massive bonuses for running the company into the ground. They didn't offer a penny to anyone effected by their incompetence and greed
More details
The boss of Thomas Cook was almost laughing as he read his hollow apology. And his arrogance in asking the government to pay for his mess through tax payers money was obscene to say the least. The bosses stripped all the assets from a failing company and gave themselves what finances remained in massive bonuses.
