    Bankers home targeted

    A group has claimed responsibility for attacking the home of former bank boss Sir Fred Goodwin and have warned "this is just the beginning".

    Two emails sent to the Edinburgh Evening News in the early hours of the morning appeared to take responsibility for the vandalism.

    Sent from an email account called bankbossesarecriminals@mail.com, one said: "We are angry that rich people, like him, are paying themselves a huge amount of money, and living in luxury, while ordinary people are made unemployed, destitute and homeless.

    "This is a crime. Bank bosses should be jailed. This is just the beginning."

    Was reading over the weekend bank bosses at America's AIG were targeted by protester's too. There seems to be a real backlash against bankers at the moment wonder is it a matter of time before it happens here too

    Wouldn't be surprised if these activist groups have been infiltrated by MI5's finest.

    Fair dues to them, they should have burnt his house down. To quote Mary Harney in the Brian Cowen video on youtube, when told that there is a mumps out break and asked what should they do "Burn them, burn them all".

    What is it with people claiming responsibility these days? I miss the days of good old anonymous vandalism.

    An attack on a home is an attack on a family. Neither should be encouraged.

    So you think the attackers checked that the family weren't home, do you?

    It shouldn't be long before we get attacks on bankers homes here as the Govt, aided by the media and the opposition, are doing a great job blaming the banks for the huge hole in the public finances.

    That mess in the public finances is solely the responsibility of successive FF-led Govts over the past decade.

    Well, fingers crossed.



    Don't worry Mollox, I'm sure this poor c*nt will survive.



    There are very few people in this world who have provoked such anger, that they avoid eating out at a restaurants for fear of people spitting in their food.

    Unfortunately for our dear friend Fred, he's one of them.
