The lynching of Fred Goodwin

He committed no crime and was not disbarred as a director. Many have done worse than him.

Yes he's a disgrace, but then so are most of the current shadow cabinet who shared in Capt. Brown streaming on the UK onto the rocks ( though Capt. Brown has disappeared - gone in an early life boat to follow Blair onto the cash making circuit ).

This is all backfiring a little on #RedEd, but then he's just leader of the opposition and no one expects him to be grown up anyway.

This looks worse for David Cameron who is shown throwing a body to the pursuing wolves in the hope of saving his own popularity.


The press may have enjoyed the lynching, but the mob has got the taste for blood now and will want feeding again soon.

Update: Goodwin backlash: no need for Westminster lynch mob

Bonfire of the Envies

There has been a festival of beating up on Mr Hester at the RBS's bonus that the last Labour government authorised.

Since much of left wing politics is based on the unjustifiable optimism of lefties brains combined with their rejection of God and all morality ( though they are too igniorant to realise it ) they can be forgiven for using envy in the way little Red Ed has been doing.

Nick Clegg is a prize hypocrite since he has enjoyed his tax free EU salary and benefits and is fabulously wealthy by most of our standards and will go on to be rewarded for selling his countrymen out to his EU masters for the rest of his life.

Mayor Bojo is a chump for playing the envy card, and his willingness to sell out principles for expediency will have been noted in certain circles.

But the prize for stupidity and moral cowardice goes to David Cameron. Its the prime minsters job, often, to tell the public and voters what they don't want to hear. In doing so he ( but lets face it only she in living memory ) is doing their duty to the nation. David Cameron has failed to spell the facts of life out to an indulgged electroate. Instead modernising by allowing the politics of envy to go unchallanged ( must have played well with the focus groups ).

In addition with have the dangerous idea that the rich should pay for the state so that those who benefit from it most don't have to. The problem with this should be obvious to any conservative- you create a left voting majority which is suicidally committed to economic narcissism in the name of greed and envy ( carefully rapped up with words like investment, fairness, free etc ).

David Cameron should have been explaining why just taxing the rich more to tax those who benefit less won't work, but instead the siren voices of the modernisers and focus groups have called him onto the wrecking rocks of socialism.

He's becoming Ted Heath - it will take 15 years to sort this mess out.

Update: Hester has capitulated and the anti-Capitalist mob can chalk up another self inflicted injury on the UK. ( Remember Hester earned that bonus by saving us vastly more money - but when your committed to making everyone poor and miserable that's hardly going to stop the left, and the weak weak weak Ted Heath moderniser fan club who are so scared of them. )
