Being interviewed by M.P.s today, Sir “Fred” Goodwin – the man who fired so many decent hard-working people with glee but never felt he should take his own sorry useless grasping arse elsewhere – came out with this little gem.
“If bankers felt they were not paid enough, they would leave”.
How bad could that be? A troupe of performing tadpoles could have left us in less shit. He got paid £1.46m for his sterling performance last year.
Words escape me.
I know I should laugh, but I can’t.
When the select committee questioned the heads of the failed banks yesterday, it was discovered that NOT ONE of the CEOs had any banking qualifications at all. Not one. The frightful shit, Fred the Shred of RBS, actually said “well not exactly, but I am a qualified lawyer”. So why not have a Polish plumber run the bank, he wouldn’t be taken in by the spiky haired smart arse traders and Porsche pricks.
The quals for running the country and similar are equally non-sense. ‘Sort of look the part,’ and have as part of your CV that you’ve helped a politician with his paperwork and you’re in. This shocks me but often I think I’m the only one alarmed at this.
