Thomas Cook Collapses As Rescue Talks Fail

The title of this post, is the same as that of this article on the BBC.

The title says it all and I’m listening to a phone-in on BBC Radio 5 about the collapse.

What puzzles me, is that, this collapse has been on the cards for some months, with travel experts, like Simon Calder,, advising anybody booking with Thomas Cook to take precautions like get full insurance and use a credit card.

If I had been buying a package deal, I certainly wouldn’t have touched Thomas Cook with a bargepole.

Did people still book, as they knew the Government would pick up the tab?

Why should I pay extra taxes because of the stupidity of others?

The biggest stupidity of all, is that the Directors of Thomas Cook decided to keep trading, when they were obviously insolvent.

I thought that was a criminal offence, so surely some long jail sentences are in order.
