The Commentator: Not a good knight for Fred, by TPA Campaign Director Emma Boon
I can’t imagine Mr Fred Goodwin slept too soundly last night. Despite a generous pension cushioning the blow of the withdrawal of his Knighthood, it will still be humiliating to become a plain old Mister again and he will have woken up (if he slept at all) to see his own name on the front of most newspapers.
But the fuss will die down. He’ll get round to changing the name on his bank cards. The whispers and accusing glances in the pub will eventually stop and slowly, life will return to normal. The same cannot be said for taxpayers and the bank he left behind him.
