    Lets be clear Goodwin does not deserve to get any reward for the appalling way he ran RBS and the pension issue should have been better handled back in October.

    But I am very disturbed by the implications of what Harriet Harman said over the weekend.

    She said that the Government would legislate to strip Goodwin of his pension.

    To use legislation against an individual like that for a specific case sets a worrying precedence... If they get away with this then none of us will be safe from an authoratitive Government.

    Chances are the Government would not get away with it anyway as it would breach its own human rights legislation. It would also be costly to do and would result in a lot of legal complications.

    Harman is likely just saying this to appeal to the most crude and basic populism. I would hope people would see this for what it is.
