fred

fred goodwin has obtained a 'super injunction' which bans the media from calling him a banker. fred the shred (as he was known) must have more money than sense to have bothered with such an injunction (which also means that it can't be reported on). you can't help but wonder what other bankers feel about it as one of their number denies them. perhaps he should have asked not to have been referred to as an unsuccessful banker as we all know about his role in the near collapse of the royal bank of scotland (though if you were to listen to and believe the tories this was a minor problem, the real problem was the overspending of the labour government - even if most of it was keeping banks affloat).

fred goodwin has been described as a bully with ice in his veins  - obviously now that he is out of the banking business he has developed a thin skin. oddly i would have thought being a called a banker was the most polite thing that mr. goodwin is called these days.
i am sure we can all think of a few choice things to call him. we should get a list together so that fred can squander some more of that hefty pension he gets, and take up the time of the courts to have them banned from being used in conjunction with his name.
