Best attacking the home of the government lackies who let Gooders get away with what he wanted!

Belting him would not necessarily be a bad thing mind

The people of this country should continue to make him 'uncomfortable' until he gives us our money back and gets a proper job!!!

Because anarchy and vandalism is much better than having a legal system Vigilantes have no place in a mature democracy.

"Sir Fred's local MSP condemned the attack, and said the former banking boss and his family had the right to live without fear of violence."


I agree, no matter what has been done, how would you feel if your kids were in the house when this happened.

I loved the way the press kept putting up the same picture - the one designed to incite and outrage people the most


They could have taken some pics of him with a torch shone upwards from below his chin, and then gone for the "Ooh, isn't he sinister" angle

If he gives all the money back - which he got by stealth - then he can live in peace ..... simple really?

And what if he doesn't, do you condone his family being terrorised forever?

If he has any sense he'll sell up and move to Monte Carlo.

Then he can get Gordon Brown to come and stay with him and claim expenses for a second home

It's about time that greed and money-grabbing had some resultant unpleasantness ..... as a warning to others.

I would actually drag him through the streets and have everyone through tomatoes at him!

Tomorrows chip shop wrapper, nothing will change they will just find another way of paying absorbent amounts of money to pompous nobodies and their mistresses.

Personally I have nothing against the bloke and don't think he deserves this, it's the governments mistake not his. If the bank make an error and you end up on the good side, most of us would be hesitant to give it back



P.s. My flame suit is on

The idiots who attacked his home should reserve their anger for Flash and his cronies who are much more to blame than Fred is for the state of the country.

Indeed. It's the homes of incompetent Nu Labour 'ministers' and MPs that should be put to the torch - before they are dragged through the streets and hung upside down from lamp posts

I would be sorely tempted to take his other leg to drag him with.

Hardly surprising his house was attacked. I see the house has police protection now. I think he ought to pay for that.
