    Graceful like being caught paying rent boys to source your gear eh, Paul?
    Some people are so far out of touch with reality.

    Like in some way he should not have been completely vilified for his actions.

    What a w4nker

    Speaking on BBC Radio 4’s Sunday programme, he said: “I knew it had to happen and I was not particularly surprised by the result. Although I think they could have acted with a little more grace.”

    Nope.

    The whole point of the current bail out plan for the Co-op bank is so that it does not have to be bailed out by the government and so can retain some control for itself.

    well no messing, ketamine, crack, meth and young men. pretty much a clean sweep on the sin front.
    It’s ironic that the man from the Co-op was buying drugs that probably originated from the Mafia drugs money laundered by JP Morgan and invested in HSBC. (Google it if you want)

    Mmm linky

    Paul also offers the following statement:

    "This year has been incredibly difficult, with a death in the family and the pressures of my role with the Cooperative Bank. At the lowest point in this terrible period, I did things that were stupid and wrong. I am sorry for this, and I am seeking professional help, and apologise to all I have hurt or failed by my actions."

    I think he needs a lot more than prayers.
