RIGHT SHRED FRED

SchNEWS was gutted this week to hear a mansion belonging to ex-Royal Bank of Scotland’s boss Fred ‘the huge feckin fraud’ Goodwin (or ‘the Shred’ as he’s also known) was attacked – but unfortunately not gutted. Merely some broken windows and some damage to a merc parked outside, but at least it's a shot across the bows that lets him know average people are less than impressed that he's set to collect two grand of taxpayers cash a week for life as reward for sucking millions out in bonuses while running his bank into the ground.

Fred himself, safely out of the country with his family and enjoying his loot, was reported as being ‘shaken’ by the news and thought people were going ‘too far’! Having helped shake the foundations of the economic system, Sir Fred seems to have gone pretty far (away) himself...
