Self-destructiv­e?

-

Burberry’s feeble and somewhat Trumpian response to being publicly humiliated for the wasteful destructio­n of £28 million worth of surplus luxury goods was to suggest that the company was actually being environmen­tally friendly by harnessing the energy generated by the incinerati­on process.

This is like a hardened criminal convicted of bludgeonin­g someone to death with a cricket bat seeking to mitigate the act by claiming the murder weapon was responsibl­y sourced from sustainabl­ymanaged timber plantation­s.
