Well, if that means they've got one spare now, I'll take it on, I wouldn't mind a chance of a few Directorships to keep the economy, (esp' mine) on the right tracks.

Well if they can do it for Goodwin, how about the rest of the time served convicts in the House of Lords? Jeffery Archer, Baroness Uddin and all the rest of the leeches. And when they have got through that lot then they can make a start on the gongs handed out to useless and incompetent civil servants and puffed up members of the Defence Staff.

The Honours System is discredited, and it is the government who are to blame.

He could have kept the Knighthood and just given the money back. Anyway I hope it has wiped the self satisfied smirk off his daft mug.......but probably not, after all he still has his ill gotten gains.

Being in the gutter, and therefore having my ear closer to the ground, I heard this delightful news eighteen minutes earlier than you.

What a shame.

Still, he has enough money to buy another gong, just as soon as the dust's settled.

Little known fact.

He used to be called Bloggs.

He changed his name only after securing the top job at RBS.

Yeah, yeah Dame Babs.

We all know your home help doesn't knock off until seven, and besides, he's too busy doing your scribbling to make any tea.

Isn't there something about socialists eventually running out of other people's gossip?
