The home of Sir Fred Goodwin, the face of Britain’s failing banking system, was vandalized early this morning. Three windows were broken and a car parked outside also suffered broken windows. A group calling themselves ‘Bank Bosses are Criminals’ have claimed responsibility, and warned that this is ‘just the beginning’.
Meanwhile, when asked in the congressional hearing, Edward Liddy, the new blame free boss at AIG preferred not to disclose the names of those executives receiving bonuses, because members of the public though they should be ‘strangled with piano wire’.
It is refreshing to see although we find ourselves in troubling time, that nothing has changed. Humans are still greedy and stupid as well as vindictive and stupid.
Obama admitted on the Tonight show that, these executives haven’t actually done anything criminal, so they can’t be punished. But this obviously doesn’t stop those individuals prone to rash decisions, like the members of ‘Bank Bosses are Criminals’, hell bent on criminal revenge to show just how terrible the greedy bank executives have behaved.
Personally I suggest a sweeter form of revenge. May the god of the public toilet never allow them a free stall in their hour of need. No amount of money will make the need to use the toilet go away.
