Sir Fred Goodwin's Pension

[Beachcomber]

Yep. In my opinion the current "We'll stop his pension and see if he sues" attitude is just intended to direct attention from the fact that City Minister Lord Myners allowed the award to go through when it now appears there was considerable room for discretion. I suppose the feeling in Whitehall is that so long as we're baying for Goodwin's blood we're not baying for Gordon's.

As for stripping someone of their peerage, I'd be surprised if it happens. They didn't do it with Sleazy Archer and I can't see them starting now.
