The saga continues

O.K. I might be wrong about Gordon Brown letting this go but even if he takes it as far as the courts it will be the taxpayers money that will be used to cover the costs, unless he checks the facts properly this time ,leaving no loopholes and gets Mr Goodwin to cover the costs on loosing.
On being interviewed on T.V. a lawyer remarked that he did not think that we had a chance to prevent this pension going through but given the facts of a NEW takeover by US and no contract with US which should be the case in these situations I don't see why we can't win given the failures of this man. In saying that it would be typical of our country and courts to reward failure while punishing the honest hard working SUCCESSFUL citizens of Britain.

That controversial pension

I was hoping that I wouldn't have to write about this subject again but as it keeps coming up I feel the anger rise once more.
I fear, I my be repeating myself but in any other occupation if you fail or misbehave, resulting in the sack you forfeit any pension accumulated throughout your working life which is a harsh but deserved punishment. Sir Fred Goodwin has not only ruined the Royal Bank of Scotland he has also ruined the lives of hard working people who saved for a WELL DESERVED pension and now with interest rates at an all time low face financial disaster as they watch their savings disappear.
It is little wonder that 100% of the population do not want Sir Fred Goodwin to receive his £650,000 a year pension made up from their taxes.
If the taxpayer have not baled out the bank and helped to clear up the mess he left there would be no money for his pension anyway. Other people's shares disappeared and they are now left with nothing so we have to ask again. WHY IF EVERYONE INCLUDING GOVERNMENT MINISTERS ARE AGAINST THIS IS IT STILL GOING AHEAD.
There was no new contract agreed with us and as the main shareholders our wishes should be adhered to. Let him sue if he wishes he hasn't got a leg to stand on. (If the public had their way that could be literally).
As this arrogant tube is a buddy of Gordon Brown are we just being led up the garden path again?
