Amazing Freudian slip here with Jon Pain asserting GRG was "TO HELP SMALL BUSINESSES GET INTO FINANCIAL DIFFICULTY". Yes, yes it was. xitter.cf/derekcarlyle/status/78…

I find Pain's claim absolutely staggering. What utter nonsense. xitter.cf/spandavia/status/78559…

Jon Pain for #RBS "It simply isn't true er could provoke default events. There was no artificial defaults." Wake up Jon.

So true. Hard to blame legacy issues when so little done to address them: bank with worst swap redress record xitter.cf/spandavia/status/76162…

What a day for #RBS They can't blame legacy issues when they caused them & 9 years of losses surely says something about management? #RBS
