  • Joel, you suggest that if the govt. changes it’s stance then the whole constitution crumbles. I don’t know if you’ve noticed but that’s exactly what has happened to our institution - the banking system. And Fred was one of the top dogs so I don’t think it will make much difference if the govt. goes against the agreement.

  • Agree with Joel. Goodwin secured a deal with his ex exployers when he left and although he must have personally felt that the value was obscene, in light of his catastophic failure at the bank, the government and bank bosses agreed to it. If it can be proved that he knew in advance Myners should be fired for incompetence for not vetoing this before it was agreed.

  • but surely, joel, the prime minister did not resign/ sacked/ overthrown, so he would still be earning his pension. fred goodwin got sacked so he should not get full pension.
