not good

also not good as it seems to be a smoke screen to hide the £350bn (best case?) that will be poured down the drain on the shiney new bank liability insurance.

also not good as perhaps shows a government populated by the hard of thinking. If fred loses his pension for making such a moronic monumental mess then surely the current bloated incumbents should losing theirs too?

Thanks for having me. I am still shamed that I forgot Shami Charabarti’s name and then sounded dismissive of her! It’s funny how being interviewed makes me forget how to speak!

I am surprised that the governmnt are not going after the board of RBOS for approviing Fred’s pension deal. If they really did give hiom more than his contractual entitlement, then surely they are a much better target then Fred.

As for the CML, I hope it went well.It would be much better, in my opinion, if they had more technical experts and fewer journalists and lawyers.

By the way, I liked Harriet H’s argument about the ‘court of public opinion’-she is a clever girl, that one.

i thought you’d be on this, charon. as soon as i heard harman utter those unfortunate words about the court of public opinion it had ‘charon post’ written all over it. quite what they can do is another matter.
what they should have done is yet another.
and how they could have done anything even of the most reasonable and sensible nature without having the other two piles of crap all over them with intellectual points of the level of ‘nurr nurr nee nurr nurr’ is the hardest of the three.
it was however balm to my troubled soul watching george osborne talking about bolting the stable door after the horse (*worried look crosses face as he realises he has fucked up a perfectly serviceable cliche*) has errr in fact err bolted. *limp smile*. does it help that there is one person in the country plainly less appropriate than darling to be chancellor? yes! until i realise that in a matter of months that person is going to be taking over. gaarrrgh!

so charon – my poser for you, for john and for all other sensible thinkers out there is ‘what DO you do about that vile thief (as are they all whether their banks make a profit or not) and his pension?’
just to get the ball rolling i would hold him down and shit in his mouth. and if that’s still illegal, i will change the law.
