The home of disgraced banker Fred Goodwin was attacked by vandals in the early hours of Wednesday morning, causing damage to three ground floor windows and also some damage to a Mercedes s600 parked on the drive way.
Goodwin’s refusal to consider giving up his massive RBS pension has caused anger from politicians of all parties, the media and not least from the general public.
The attack comes as protesters plan demonstrations at the G20 summit in London next week, with flyers titled ‘Smash the Banks’ circulating on the internet.
In a further twist to the RBS fiasco, with the bank now majority owned by the government, it means that the tax payer is now contributing towards security for Goodwin’s home at a cost of £290 per month. A spokesman for the bank says this is standard procedure for all departing senior executives.
