‘Fred the lag’?
Tax-payers bailed out failed Royal Bank of Scotland boss Fred, ‘the Shred’, Goodwin … so why can’t we get restitution? Why should we not be able to claw-back some of the cash from his £3/4m pension and prosecute him?
Head of the Serious Fraud Office, Richard Alderman agrees! He says says reckless bank bosses who have to be saved by taxpayers should go to prison …adding, ‘I think that is what the public wants to see.’
Peter McKay, writing in the Daily Mail today, agrees as well.
“What do we call Fred Goodwin, the former chief executive of the Royal Bank of Scotland, whose dealings cost the taxpayer a total of £45billion when the Government took over the bank rather than let it collapse?” he asks.
“He’s right, but I’d go further. Every single member of our so-called banking profession who was rewarded for failure prior to the recent collapse of their institutions should be compelled to return the money to the Government. It can’t be hard to put together a list of those responsible.

I’m off to set up a Face Book page to support McKay’s idea .. but in the meantime everyone who is still seething at the way Fred the Shred profited from his recklessness should write to the SFO and their MP and any other person of influence to ask that justice is done. I am.
