we need to end super injunctions

The telegraph reports that John Hemming, a back-bench Liberal Democrat MP has revelead that Fred Goodwin the disgraced former boss of RBS has obtained an in juction. John Hemming said: "In a secret hearing Fred Goodwin has obtained a super-injunction preventing him being identified as a banker.

"Will the government have a debate or a statement on freedom of speech and whether there's one rule for the rich like Fred Goodwin and one rule for the poor?"

As a result of this west of westminster has started a pettition to David Cameron to us his full poweres to stop this injunction and remove hir rewards for failure. The text fo the pettion is below click it to go to the petition.

We the undersigned ask the government to strip Fred Goodwin of his Knighthood as he has damaged RBS and the economic welfare of this nation. Remove this gross injunction against telling the truth and if it is within government power remove his £200000 a year pension there should be no reward for failure especially the degree to which he failed creating hardship and suffering for many in this nation. This is important for the financial welfare of this country there should be rewards for success not failure. Fred Goodwin failed yet he still keeps his reward of a knighthood and 6 figure pension. This sets a terrible precedent and encourages incompetent behaviour from executives.
