I wonder how much that will wipe off RBS share price tomorrow and how much the taxpayer will lose. |

A mere token gesture. He'll be devastated as he looks at his bank balance. |

The timing of this announcement on the same day as we have been made aware of Camerons capitulation to Germany and the Eurozone, is of course purely coincidental. It makes a nice story for the tabloids to run on their front pages rather than the real story of Camerons euro surrender. |

Could they now change his name to from Mr Goodwin to Mr Badloss, because that's what it was. |

You think being stripped of his title won't affect him? I'd bet in the circles he moves its a huge embarrassment. If he wasn't interested he wouldn't have accepted the 'honour' in the first place. |

The reason he has been stripped of his title is political. We are in the midst of this controversy over bankers bonuses which the govt has taken a lot of flak about so at this point in time making a gesture like this makes it look like a banker is suffering. He is a sacrifice to try and make it look like bankers can't get away with their actions. It is an attempt by the govt to look tough on bankerrs and to deflect the focus away from bonuses and any reform of the bonus system. |
