Comedian Lee Nelson pulls hilarious stunt

British comedian Lee Nelson, who made headlines last year when he threw fake dollar bills at former FIFA boss Sepp Blatter, attached a banner to Sir Philip Green’s superyacht that the billionaire is not going to be impressed by.

Nelson attached a gigantic “BHS destroyer” banner to Green’s superyacht today following the backlash the retail magnate faced after BHS collapsed into administration this year.

Nelson tweeted: “Good of Sir Philip Green to rename his £100m yacht to something more appropriate. I was glad to help.”

Last month, Green had a scuffle with a reporter in Ithaca and threatened to throw his camera in the sea.

The billionaire, who sold BHS for £1, was asked why he was on holiday while BHS’ pension mess was still going on.

To this, Green replied: “Go away or I am calling the police.”

When pestered further, Green said he would throw the reporter’s camera in the sea:

“That’s f****** going in the sea,” he said.

The reporter later said that the billionaire “shook hand off camera” but refused to answer any questions.

He can be heard repeating: “Why don’t you just go away, go away!”
