But it's a bit late for the government to be getting sanctimonious on this. And it appears to be bullying Goodwin, which is unedifying: http://blog.matthewcain.co.uk/government-bullying-fred-the-shred/Matthew Cainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15476895317637990551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6606798.post-7526083646874321052009-02-26T20:17:00.000+00:002009-02-26T20:17:00.000+00:00Vermin like Sir Fred (and his cronies) should be e...Vermin like Sir Fred (and his cronies) should be exterminated like the rats they are. Fact is he has seriously damaged the wealth and financial wellbeing of every single person in this country and many more abroad no doubt. I and my children will be paying the price for his incompetence for probably a generation whilst this piece of filth and his family are living the high life. And this under the noses of a Labour government of all things.<BR/>Its a bit rich Ministers getting all shirty about his pension when their own is both gold and diamond plated – and just look how incompetent they are. There is only one thing that is certain to come out of any of this and that is that it will be ordinary hard working people who pick up the tab. Perhaps we need a revolution, and then maybe we can deal with these scum the way they need to be dealt with.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6606798.post-49853105075477934502009-02-26T13:42:00.000+00:002009-02-26T13:42:00.000+00:00The story of Sir Fred Goodwin and his retirement b...The story of Sir Fred Goodwin and his retirement bounty is exactly why the Banking system in this country cannot carry on as at present. It is utterly immoral for anything like £650k pa to be written into anyone's contract in the first place, add to that the total failure of RBS and the man should be paying money back. Who drew up this contract? And we should be asking how many more such contracts there are in the city. Not one should be allowed to stand while the country and it's people pay the price. Fat cats is no longer a sufficient description 'morbidly obese' is what I would like to see.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6606798.post-19317138400249933832009-02-25T23:36:00.000+00:002009-02-25T23:36:00.000+00:00Where is MY bailout money and MY penison?

We now have no return on our invetsments and no pension worth talking of. I am now facing working harder not retiring and I am older than Goodwin.<BR/><BR/>What is the government and especially the conservative party doing to stop Fred Goodwin walking away from RBS with a mega pension. This man has destroyed a business not built one, he has depleted weath not created it and now as a "shareholder" in RBS I would like to know why he is walking away with an obscence pension out of the tax payers coffers?Ian Farmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00886343394438239465noreply@blogger.com
