Let me see...
Government f***s up supervision of banks
Government bails out the banks with my money, my children's money, and my as-yet unborn grandchildren's money
Government f***s up removal of bank chief
But it's not their fault.

The Anti-terrorism, Crime and Security Act 2001 allows the government to seize assets from individuals or organisations it believes have acted in a way that is detrimental to the UK economy.
Back in a mo there's someone knocking on the door.

Perverting legislation in this way just to appear in a better light with the electorate is shamefull.

Personally, the loss of his pension isn't going to be a great deal to him, since he no doubt has plenty of other assets which he can release in his dotage to ensure he is still comfortably well off.
I'd like to see his assets seized, and the individual to face life imprisonment in basic conditions and solitary confinement.
Make an example of him, to act as a warning to others in similar positions who abuse their power.
Now, for Gordon Brown, its another matter.....

I said on here a couple of weeks ago that they would try to do this. In reality it's just the SNP trying to position themselves on the side of the electorate without making it a policy. Very much their usual trick, they don't really have any policies, well one, but are always trying to gain favour with gimmicks.

It's the Times, Telegraph, Mail, Independent, etc, it's all right-wing lies.

This is a prime example of the catastrophy of the erosion of civil liberties in the UK. Laws get "interpreted" to suit the agenda of the government - how long before they're knocking on your door then?
