Scabbydog Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2508464/Crystal-meth-shame-Co-op-bank-chief-Paul-Flowers.html Crystal meth shame of bank chief: Counting off £20 notes to buy hard drugs, this is the man who ran the Co-op Bank... three days after telling MPs how it lost £700m. Former Labour councillor Rev Flowers yesterday apologised for his 'stupid and wrong' actions and blamed the 'pressures of my role with the Co-op Bank'. Flowers was the £132,000-a-year chairman of the 'ethical' Co-op Bank from 2010 until May this year when he stepped down as the bank's financial woes became apparent. The bank lost £700 million in the first six months of this year. On the day after his appearance at the Commons, Flowers sent a text reading: 'I was "grilled" by the Treasury Select Committee yesterday and afterwards came to Manchester to get wasted with friends. This probably explains why the bank took a such a hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phanerothyme Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 And then some. I'm struggling to understand why he was appointed in the first place. Even without the crack and crystal meth habit being a matter of common knowledge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Expat owl Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 And then some. I'm struggling to understand why he was appointed in the first place. Even without the crack and crystal meth habit being a matter of common knowledge. Openly gay so obviously trying to get the Co-Op quotas up !!! Seriously though, the guy spent some time at 19 as a cashier at Nat West and completed stage 1 of the Banking exams. He them spent most of his career as a methodist preacher so how the hell did he get the position of Chairman ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's in his 60s and still havin it large. He does seem to be giving the ball a good kick, seriously out of his league in running a bank though! When asked in a select committee what the assets of the bank were he said £3bn when in fact they were £40 bn plus - not a clue. I'm told they also had a nurse and a plumber on the board - LMAO when I heard this. No wonder they all messed up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
