Meenzer 15347 Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Who here would have given back part of a £700k pension? if I was already loaded and was responsible for a lot of angry people losing their jobs, I would A bit harsh to suggest it was former employees of his fiefdom. That is unless you are presuming that we can pin an inevitable correction in a totally overstreched economy on the actions of a few people. Goodwin and his empire building are in the past and the longer people yearn for some figurative retribution, the longer we'll miss the opportunity to look at the challenges ahead. Goodwin pressing ahead with the ABN Amro deal did not bring down the UK economy- yet it seems to be as if it did. Let's not forget that Teflon Gordon is more than happy to keep the press fed about the evils done by "the City" under a regulatory system that he not only created, but boasted about around the world. Yet now he's off to the states telling people how it should be done. Bit of an about-face, that. This sort of action only helps the sort of yobs who will be 'protesting' against the G20 next week as they wreak a general trail of havoc and interrupt the lives of thousands of workers so we can listen to the same message that has been relayed countless times in the past, only to be forgotten on Monday as we struggle to find glaziers who wil repair this damage out of the goodness of their own hearts. This is an incredibly important point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fop 1 Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Not to say I condone anything remotely like this- just sort of thinking out loud here... (Male) Child molesters get a really bad rap over here. They are vilified in the press, their community, and famously in our federal prisons where they're often killed by the other inmates. (Female child molesters, especially of the middle school teacher variety, are often only subjected to jokes and possibly an interview on a nationally televised morning talk show). I have to think, when a child molester is considering performing their crime (because I think ALL of us are capable of self control except for the TRULY mentally disabled), the thought must cross their mind that if they are caught, not only are they subject to punishment at the hands of the law, but also society and their fellow man. Maybe if ripping off people's retirements, jobs, and general livelihood held a similar stigma, you wouldn't see "mistakes" of this magnitude quite as often. That's the thing the misery he's been partially responsible for causing is pretty massive, but wholly legal. Where as there a plenty of things that you can do that are illegal, but not necessarily "wrong"*. But as Fop's said before: any similarity between Law and Justice is purely coincidental.

Especially those like Goodwin that have not only walked away with a big smug grin on their face (and a positively explosive wallet), but also with a conviction that they did "nothing wrong".

Guest alex Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 I suppose because he's flatly refused to return a penny you could argue he believes he's done nothing wrong. Who knows? The more pertinent matter is that the government should have at least attempted to secure written assurances about people like him not getting all this cash before the bailouts were finalised. Not exactly sure if the timing of events (or indeed legal technicalities) made that possible though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody apart from them themselves I would have thought, and even then that's not true because they publically apologised (which was forced, admittedly). They never said "sorry" for what they did (or said what they did was wrong/risky/stupid etc., the opposite in fact), they (under some serious brow beating) said the most begrudging "sorry" that things had ended up like this. It was basically no apology for anything at all. Which means it'll probably go the same way again, as soon as this current disaster is behind them.
