Labour knighted Fred Goodwin.
Labour agreed to pay him six hundred and fifty thousand pounds a year for life (he's fifty).
Labour pretended they didn't know about the pension they authorised.
And Labour made this guy Paul Myners Chairman of the Low Pay Commission, whose website describes its purpose as "advising the government on the National Minimum Wage". (h/t to commenter mirthios on political betting).
Please may we have an election? Thanks.
UPDATE (Hey, Derek Draper, this is how it's done) I'm sorry - I got this completely wrong by dint of ineffective googling. No excuses. As "whuh" points out, it was Paul Myners, not Fred Goodwin, who was Chairman of the Low Pay Commission. Why does that still matter? Because Myners is an expert on pay and compensation and a Govt minister and he gave Fred Goodwin this pension. There is no way Brown and Darling didn't know. I repeat, can we have an election?
