'World's Worst Banker' joins Lads from Lagos

Fri, Mar 6th, 2009

Spare if you will this morning a thought for Sir Frederick Anderson Goodwin, aka "Fred the Shred", and former big swinging dick down at the Royal Bank of Scotland.

Since Fred's fall from grace, precipitated by the collapse of RBS, the UK media has expended billions of column inches insisting he be stripped of his knighthood and modest pension, and further paraded through the streets of Edinburgh atop a cart so that enraged taxpayers can vent their spleen with verbal abuse and volleys of rotting vegetables.

Good stuff. In case you're wondering where the "World's Worst Banker" tag came from, here's the website responsible, where you can put your name to petitions demanding Fred the Shred be put through the shredder. ®
