What ishappening in Bangladesh will start to happen here unless the idiot politicians get a grip. What kind of society rewards failure and penalizes success?

Surely as the architect of RBS downfall this man is in breach of contract and so has no entitlement to any pension other than his state pension at 65. All payments should be stopped forthwith and previous payments reclaimed ...he should also be stripped of his title. This country wants to start calling a spade a spade and stop defending the indefensible.
