Sir Fred Goodwin's home attacked overnight
As the hate campaign towards Sir Fred Goodwin, the ex-chief executive of the Royal Bank of Scotland, continues it has been revealed that the ex-banking chief's home was vandalised overnight. A number of windows were smashed and a car was vandalised and police are currently investigating who carried out his actions. It has also been revealed that Sir Fred Goodwin's children were taken out of their school last year as concerns over their safety began to mount.
This is the culmination of a concerted attack by the UK government and the UK regulators on Sir Fred Goodwin who has been made out as a devil figure within the UK banking industry. Many people believe that errors made by the UK government have caused the situation we are in, where Sir Fred Goodwin was able to claim a £700,000 pension, and the campaign against him is a way of masking over these issues. The fact that his home has been attacked and his children have been deemed at risk at their own school is scandalous.
Hopefully, the events of the last couple of days should see the campaign against Sir Fred Goodwin reduced in its ferocity with suggestions that he is looking to move overseas to escape his problems in the UK.
