EDINBURGH, Scotland — Vandals attacked the home of the former head of the Royal Bank of Scotland, smashing windows early Wednesday at the house of the ex-CEO who resigned in disgrace but with an annual pension of about 700,000 pounds ($1.2 million).
Three windows were smashed at Fred Goodwin’s sandstone Victorian house in one of Edinburgh’s upscale suburbs. The rear window of a black Mercedes S600 car parked in the driveway was also broken.Goodwin was already the focus of much public anger about bank failures and wider economic problems in Britain. The British government has committed to investing 33 billion pounds to prop up the bank, while taking a majority stake in the company.
An e-mail send Wednesday to The Edinburgh Evening News claimed that the attack was carried out by “Bank Bosses are Criminals,” a previously unknown group. The claim could not be independently verified.
Police officers stood guard outside the house while workmen cleared shards of glass from the yard.
Neighbors said Goodwin, who also owns a house in Glasgow, has not been seen at the Edinburgh residence since he testified before members of Parliament in February about the bank’s near-collapse.

Don’t you have some Star Trek episode to marry or something. New Age, tofu, bullshitter. Go eat some cyanide so you and the reincarnation of L Ron Hubbert’s lover can board the mother ship and fly around on gay unicorns, or whatever, you flakey ass, weirdo. When I need the Galactic Council, I’ll call them. wink-wink.

If you people are not disinformation agents, then why not talk about the trillions that Bernanke won’t tell Sanders and the American people where it went ?
It’s not about the pawns in the game – it’s about the LARGE banks, the illuminati and new World Order – that’s who controls things, yes ?
I’m not saying these people aren’t guilty too but I think some people just want to divert attention from the real problem.
Wouldn’t be suprised if these attacks were done by the establishment either – “Fred The Shred” wasn’t even in his house when he had his windows smashed……
Violence is never justified except in self defence.
Promoting violent behaviour is as going as low as those who would be violent to us.
And that’s what the establishment want – is that your game you so called “liberals” ?

Actually, I agree. I think Fred The Shred has been set up somewhat. Sure, he’s a super-rich reptile, who probably sanctioned loads of wrong side of illegal asset-juggling, but he was offered a pension… an insanely big fat one. He’s 50! If he lives to 100… boy… I want my kids marrying into that family. (Not really!). Big money doesn’t by your soul back, but was he gonna say no? Who the hell thought it was a good idea to offer him that much? What are their credentials, and why aren’t they being hauled over similar coals? Fred isn’t displaying any kind of humility, but would the media broadcast it if he did? He’s being hung out to dry, and that deflects attention from the government’s behaviour and the behaviour of his own superiors, and their superiors, all the way to the top of the pyramid. I’m a bit surprised he isn’t being protected, he’s a bit of an obvious target. So yeah, maybe a rent-a-mob vandalism job. There will probably be some copycats too. And NuLabor wouldn’t knowingly miss out on some legislation creation… banker hate crime, anyone? Throw a stone at anyone connected with finance and you get a £60 fine and an electronic tag.
Oh I need a cup of tea.

That’s a good point. Violence is probably a fact. Clearly violence could play a big part in the downfall of the greedy bankers. What happened to the bankers home is to be expected but not applauded, even though it made everyone smile, including me.
I think we should become what we want. If we want violence and distruction back on us then starting violence will do it. However if we want a civilised society where crooks get arrested rather than rewarded then we must apply pressure for that in a non-violent way.
If someone attacks you with violence then you have been handed violence as one method of defence. You must *NOT* be the one to use violence as offence.

Bankers are thieves, therefore, all of their property is hot, stolen goods. Confiscate it all and redistribute it to the victims of the heinous heists.
March 25th, 2009 at 2:57 pm
well, i dont condone violence or anything, but this guy probably deserved to at least have some of his shit smashed haha
March 25th, 2009 at 3:24 pm
The Bankers are “bailing out”. The derivatives bubble made any of them with 10 braincells made a fortune in trading the non-existent assets, swapping credit, trading bundles of mortgages, etc., and are ready to skip town and buy those island in micronesia/caribbean/agean.
The idea that the US Congress / British Parliament is “Bailing Out” ANYBODY is ludicrous, insane and a total lie. What IS going to happen is that the US Dollar, and along with it, most of the western world’s banks will COLLAPSE as being without any value, and a World Currency will be brought in. Yes, friends, there is enough derivative sludge ( $1.5 QUADRILLION) lying around to do just that.
The problem for the Financial Oligarchs is that they only have so much time to do their deal and take possession of 80% of the World’s assets “without embarrassment”. We all need to continue to look at the realities behind the News. It is a total shame on all of us if we cannot prevent this sort of ‘greased rail’ slide to oblivion engineered by a lousy bunch of criminals who apparently are not and never have been properly POTTY TRAINED !!!!
March 25th, 2009 at 3:48 pm
hey hey
Listen guys the reason He isnt in the Cook Islands is because
he was used by them. Please understand His people last year
announced to the public that the disaster was coming 4 months
before it happened. Its sad to see the little criminal gets taken
down when there are plenty of Bigge ones

Just like to correct the original news story – Fred Goodwins pension is actually £700,000 per annum for the rest of his life, conservative estimates reckon that his final pension bill will actually cost the bank £60M including interest etc. It has also been revealed in the past few days that he is entitled to some more bonuses, all which were given the approval of the British Government.
March 25th, 2009 at 7:25 pm
This is a very dangerous precidence remember the NY BanksterS backed Trotsky and his jew trained leutenants to kick off the Bolshevick Revolution !!! … Any mass violence against the ‘rich’ will possible be highjacked by similar NWO-Communist revolutionaries !!! DON’T BE A USEFUL IDIOT !!! But it is nice to see a ‘passionate’ backlash aimed toward the bankster scum … burn baby burn ….

If they go after the criminals, they should meet the real overlords: Rothschild, Saxe-Coburg-Gotha (aka “Windsor”), Rockefeller… Not the mid-level minions.
March 26th, 2009 at 6:25 am
Isn’t this rather convenient? We now have a terrorist group in the making that the draconian UK anti-terror laws could be used against anyone protesting against the bank “bailout.” This is something taken out of the pages of Major Frank Kitson’s 1960 book “Gangs and Counter Gangs.”
March 26th, 2009 at 7:36 am
dont kill them! the global elite want us to do that! they did that in russia and it ruined the country!
March 26th, 2009 at 8:39 am
“Bank Bosses are Criminals” eh? Yeah… sounds like a government op to me. You have all these terrorist groups calling themselves “whatever alqaeda” so they’re going to try to label groups with some name, saying if you’re against the banks, you’re a terrorist. This is so predictable.
March 26th, 2009 at 11:54 am
Isn’t Fred Goodwin just a scape goat? Surely there are people higher up then he is who deserve our wrath more than he does!
March 26th, 2009 at 12:01 pm
Take a good look at the pansies that call themselves men running the banks.
They are smart. Yes, they are smart, or they wouldn’t have been able to climb up that far to the shit can.
so…it is like this, if you are not strong you better be smart.
If you are going to do something then you better be damned smart and don’t even whisper it in your prayers or talk about it in the shower to yourself.
