[oilbarron70]

what a disgrace these greed driven people should be allowed to lend to an american company with so much dept,when the bank is publically owned.or so the people think.this bank is owned by the greed driven politicians.

the government does not take it seriously

he's one of the "boys" if they wanted to they could freeze his bank accounts.

Like the evil maggie did with the miners funds

RUN the bank. If you're unhappy with what RBS has done, and how they have caused British tax payers to take on the equivalent of TWO OLYMPIC GAMES in bailouts then the answer is VERY SIMPLE: close your accounts in RBS and Natwest and take them elsewhere i.e. to a bank that has not had to take government bailouts e.g. Barclays, among others.

RUN RBS and get it closed down. Then Goodwin can whistle for his pension. They are laying off thousands of employees anyway, so close them down.

Arrogant Sir Fred, who gloried in having the ear of Prince Charles, was chairman of the Prince's Trust. The Prince initially decided to stick by him - but that's become impossible.

"The bank is in such dire straits Prince Charles had no option but to part company with him, and quickly. It is out of the question for a business charity to have as its figurehead and role model a man who's caused such economic damage." "He revelled in being Charles' favourite banker.

Anyone would think that we are ruled by an amoral elite, that would turn The Police and Army onto it's own people when they react to being robbed by an extremely rich group of individuals whose greed knows no bounds who are also willing to let millions of people suffer and die , just to gain even more wealth. Next they will say that Newspapers and the Television lie to us. Well at least we can look forward to dying in wars when they want a scapegoat.

With the Bank issuing share prospectuses only a couple of weeks before making no note of financial problems, the question I ask is whether Sir Freed the Greed was incompetent or dishonest in this? The question of a company running whilst not doing so in profit and the legal responsibilities of those running the company are beyond my understanding, but I think it would repay the trime of a few of the obviously many available police in that area to investigate?

hi can u explain then what are the reasons behind the rescue of RBS? and is the idea of a merger a satisfactory solution for shareholders?

evil man

This man should be hung by his balls.

Sir Fred may have pulled off a stunning corporate theft, but he will go down in history as a spectacular loser.

A rich loser, but a loser none the less!
