Then there's their sheer arrogance at their unquestionable entitlement and the utter contempt with which they treat Joe public. Sir Fred Goodwin currently holds the (un)popular public titles of the <a href="http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/article5590733.ece" rel="nofollow">World's Worst Banker</a> and <a href="http://my.telegraph.co.uk/innit/blog/2009/03/04/most_hated_name_in_britain_goodwin" rel="nofollow">Britain's Most Hated Man</a> but then for half a million pounds a year I'm sure he could live with that. As for <a href="http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/Unworthy-Knight/" rel="nofollow">stripping Sir Fred of his knighthood</a>, that might be the move that really dents his conscience to the strength of public outrage.

Sir Fred Goodwin currently holds the (un)popular public titles of the World’s Worst Banker and Britain’s Most Hated Man but then for half a million pounds a year I’m sure he could live with that.

As for stripping Sir Fred of his knighthood, that might be the move that really dents his conscience to the strength of public outrage.

Has been happening a lot here in the States recently. Seems like most head honchos in high positions seem to follow the same pedigree of huge egos, very selfish, and costing their companies millions.

Leonard Abbas of City National Bank is truly the nicest guy in the history of banking and a beacon of Corporate Social Responsibility. The world needs more people like Leonard Abbas - Whilst he shares a $60million bonus with 399 current and 72 previous employees, you have Fred Goodwin rewarding his own failure with a (nearly) $1million a year pension until he dies. Definitely a tale of good & evil. That’s an excellent foil to the story of *sir* Fred Goodwin, thank you.
