Re: Debanking
Well she did say she assumed this info was already in the public domain, or something along those lines. It does make me wonder if she is indeed taking the fall becuase she was aware of communications going on etc, but not the details. If she was always the one, and the only one, why would she have been assuming stuff about what was in the public domain already?
Or maybe it's all just bollox.

She was the first person to receive a bonus post the 2008 bail out (when the government acquired some of NatWest) off the back of strong profits.
So yeah, she's made a pretty big mistake and is now paying for it, but it doesn't appear she was parachuted into her job off the back of being a woman. How many of you started at the bottom in a big firm, then rose to the top over three decades and delivered big profits?
And then fucked it all up
RBS's lovely new build campus courtesy of Fred was very plush. Free bar in the evening too, even for us lowly van drivers. They wouldn't give you unopened bottles, boo his.
Amusingly, to me anyway, it was built on the site of an old lunatic asylum.

Re: Debanking
I think she's taken the fall in the misguided belief this will allow Nige to leave it there. But he is nothing, if not tenacious, and hes after Flavel and Harris as well. Plus more bad publicity for the BBC. All in all a good days work for Farage...

I think he's right to do that, after the BBC's high horse about Huw Edwards they deserve all they will get.

Re: Debanking
The BBC do seem to bounce back and forwards between "intrusion into private affairs with dubious evidence" and "the press shouldn't report on unproven stories, people have the right to a private life".
Happy mediums are so 20th century.

I think it's because nobody is actually in charge. There seems to be very little leadership or control from the top.

Between the font, the font size and my old eyes that reads "BUM you in the process". It works both ways I suppose.

Editorial is "too left wing", but politics programmes give disproportionate airtime to loonies from across the spectrum in the spirit of fairness and free speech, leading to further criticism from all sides of promoting fringe issues.
And yet at the other end of the scale some of the "News" programmes flip-flop between sixth form grilling of party leaders sandwiched followed by a discussion about the king's new hat by the royal hat correspondent.

Re: Debanking
Presumably this drop is mostly down to the departure of 'a' CEO and the associated curfuffle/uncertainty, rather than any particular market outrage at the reason for said exit?
