Lessons learnt

I THINK it’s time for people to stop hounding Fred Goodwin, who could face legal action over the damage done to the Royal Bank of Scotland (your report, 18 June).

We need to think sensibly about whether resources will be better directed towards trying to get revenge, or trying to ensure nobody gets us into this kind of mess again. If the former is chosen, more lawyers will get richer at our expense.
