You Know How Sometimes When You See a Familiar Name From the Past?


You're just scanning through the headlines. There's a name. It might take a minute or two but you go scrambling back to check it out.

Name:  Nigel Wright.

Nigel is in the prisoner's dock, convicted of two counts of extortion and another two counts of contaminating food, baby food.

Nigel Wright put metal shards in baby food sold by Brit grocery giant, Tesco. He tried to shake down the chain for some $2 million, CDN.

Only it wasn't Stephen Harper's Nigel Wright, our Nigel Wright. This was farmer Nigel Wright from Market Rasen in Lincolnshire. This guy.


This Nigel Wright is going to be held to account for his crimes. No "immaculate extortion" here.

Our Nigel Wright is in London, running the European operation of Onex Partners.
