"The thirst for vengeance is distracting us from a terrible reality - that the economy is in a worse state than anyone will admit..I've not heard We're in the Money played on the bagpipes, but given that Sir Fred is practically unemployable he will have plenty of time to learn it. His remarkable transition from Britain's most successful banker to Public Enemy Number 1 is all but complete. Not even Abu Qatada at his most unappealing could hope to match the intensity of abuse heaped on The Shred. ....If the inappropriately named Goodwin did not exist, the Government's Department of Propaganda would need to invent him. By casting Sir Fred as the pantomime villain – the credit crunch's Dick Dastardly – the unholy trinity of Gordon Brown, Alistair Darling and Lord Mandelson has been able to deflect attention from Labour's calamitous stewardship. ...The Chancellor is not an evil man, but is so far out of his depth that sonar systems can no longer track him. Like Mr O'Reilly, the Irish builder in Fawlty Towers, with each attempt at fixing the previous botched job, he creates a new, more threatening, set of problems. In the end, the roof falls in."
