Published Date: 25 April 2009
HACKED-OFF Royal Bank of Scotland customers are being given the chance to buy a Sir Fred Goodwin voodoo doll.
The eight-inch doll, being sold on eBay, is described as "complete with voodoo curse and instructions".

The doll is a likeness of Sir Fred made of resin with "Fred The Shred" written underneath.

The seller says it is "absolutely essential therapy for all RBS shareholders" and bids are being welcomed from 99p, plus £2.50 postage and packing, until May 1.

Although the seller claims the doll is a one-off, they hint that should they receive a bulk order, they may make more.

Other Fred "memorabilia" includes a "zero dollar" bank note with his face on it, reflecting the backlash he has faced in the US.

I am no fan of RBS but if Fred loses his pension then so should every Labour politician (and possibly Lib dem) for driving this country into the ground.

Fair is fair and failure should not be rewarded in Mr Brown's own words !

Nothing like a scapegoat to divert the attentions of the populace.

Maybe in one of Princes Streets closed shops, a business selling pro tram councillors voodoo dolls would be a winner?

Fred Goodwin is nothing more than an incompetent, a fool and a liar. How he has the gall to walk away with all that money is beyond me, his arrogance knows no bounds but his confidence leads me to believe that he knows whose fault this horror story is, stand up and be counted Mr. Gordon Brown, the man who will not say sorry, the ultimate traitor to this once glorious country of ours which is now the laughing stock of the world, thankyou for nothing!
