Sir Fred Goodwin - Scapegoat, isn't he? Page 3

I'm a bit lost here, can someone explain to me the differences between Labour and Conservative?

One's in government and the other one would like to be

It's neither wrong nor right. It's just the way it is. If you want to stop politicians trying to curry favour with the public stop the public from voting.

Don't think I wouldn't.

This is pretty scary stuff now. The idea of taking away someone's pension - even a portion of it - because ONE job towards the end of their career went somewhat sour, shall we say, is abhorrent.

And that vile little bitch Harriet Harman claiming that the pension would stand up "in a court of law, but not in the court of public opinion" sums up the whole past f**king 12 years of Labour Governments; circumvent the law to please (perceived) common consensus of the day, for no other reason than shameless approval ratings.

Absolutely disgusting.

^This, exactly. It's surprising the insane hag has been so honest about it. I can only assume that it's because there is no current series of HIGNFY or Bremner, Bird & Fortune so she thinks she'll get away with it.

Yes, politicians must live in fear of being mocked on panel shows by smug bastards who are infinitely better paid than they are.

Harriet, as usual, was talking out of her arse.

If the other shareholders want to pay him the money out of the funds they don't have - it's up to them. When the state becomes the major shareholder and refloats the business with public money then he shouldn't get a massive golden handshake. If the government hadn't stepped in, he'd have left with f**k all.

I hate Hariet Harman by the way, but Fred Goodwin is an utter c**t and I'd chop his f**king empty balls off if I was a shareholder. (not a taxpayer/shareholder)
