https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-45140874

Both chains are pretty much doomed. House of Fraser probably has months rather than years now. Debenhams will be down to tens of stores within 5 years, if they haven't completely retreated online.

Fate of 34 Budgens stores in balance The future of more than 30 Budgens stores hangs in the balance after The Food Retailer Operations business went into administration last Friday. In short the stores affected are the ones which were originally Somerfields stores before the Co-Operative brought th...

Comparing Donald Trump to Jimmy Savile is something that could only happen on TVF. Please provide a quote from TVF where someone compared Trump to Savile. As far as I can see the post in question reads... Sounds a bit reminiscent of the Saville revelations one outlet dithering and the other reporti...
