Lying Lee McQueen won the latest series of The Apprentice despite lying on his CV. God help us if that is a typical example of the recruiting process of British businesses.
The appointment by an increasingly gnomish Alan Sugar was an incomprehensible decision.
Why should anyone who comes into contact with McQueen, and by extension the entire Sugar empire, believe a word of what he says?
It wasn't a little white lie. It was a whopper.
As I commented last blog he fibbed that he had spent three years at Uni when, in fact, he had dropped out after a few months.
He should have been fired but he was hired.
As for Sugar, he deserves everything he gets when a proven liar is put in charge of a division of his business.
He said on the final show: "Lee, you've very convincing. You've very very very convincing. Lee, I've concluded, you're hired."
Convincing? Yeah, liar's are convincing, that's how they work. And people like Sugar, knowing Lee was a liar and still giving him a job, do a dis-service to the good name of British business when they allow themselves to to be taken in.
This pair deserve each other.
