"I couldn’t help smiling, albeit through clenched teeth, while reading the interview with Hammerson boss David Atkins last week on Retail-week.com.
"Not that I found any humour in his assessment that business rates make about as much sense as an Eric Pickles parking scheme, I think that’s a given now, at least to anyone outside the ivory towers of the Treasury.
"No, it was the jarring irony that his comments came as part of his revelation of a 9.9% or £140m increase in Hammerson’s net rental, which struck my funny bone, as it encapsulated the inveterate myopia shared by so many in the commercial property industry."
