One of his main characteristics a talent for massive debts which his customers will have to pay for, appears to have been a boyish enthusiasm for firing people. So he is famous for being a shit. But not just any shit. An incompetent shit, like Applegarth. Why has no-one fired him? Private profit, public debt; and Cronies' Law, which I have just invented.

The bank has recently posted a £1 billion interim loss.<BR/><BR/>As I think people like Mr. Goodwin contribute nothing of any worth to society I did a comparison with a profession which requires a skill and intellectual level on a much higher plain.<BR/><BR/>From what I can gather the salary for a top consultant surgeon in the NHS is around £160,000. This is 3.8% of what Mr. Goodwin was paid last year.<BR/><BR/>My brother-in-law had a heart by-pass operation last year. He was operated on by a surgeon who had completed 1000 such operations with a 100% success rate.<BR/><BR/>1000 lives saved at £160,000 a year compared to what Fred contributes for his £4.2 million doesn't make much sense does it?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
