Goodwin didn't give a fuck when he gave a giant two-fingered salute to the entire British population with his 16-million-pound pension after taxpayer bailed out his calamitous spell as CEO of the Royal Bank of Scotland. How much responsiblity does he bear to people (and their children) who lost their homes or jobs because of mismanagement like Goodwin's? I agree that Goodwin is largely suffering because of the picture-perfect symbolism his greed effects, but his absolute antipathy for the plight of the British un- and under-employed is shocking.

It's like poking a hornet's nest and then complaining when you get stung.

ETA: By the way, Goodwin's house was empty when it was vandalized. It was his second home here in Edinburgh, poor chap.
