I've been repeatedly amused by the ongoing story of the c. £650,000 per year pension of the former head of RBS, Fred Goodwin. The merits, or otherwise of the pension are not really the point, what is amusing is the hubris of the ministers. However I literally laughed out loud when I saw this story from the BBC quoting Harriet Harman on the issue. Everything that you need to know about the story (and possibly about Harriet Harman) can be summed up by this quote form her:
"...it might be enforceable in a court of law, this contract, but it is not enforceable in the court of public opinion and that is where the government steps in."
It is such a perfectly stupid statment that no further comment is needed
