Scabbydog Posted November 19, 2013 Author Share Posted November 19, 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. Approved by the FSA. Now there's a surprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
francypants Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 A gay druggie preacher in charge of a bank! He sounds like fun... And a former Labour councillor too ! Sounds like a nice man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Bourne Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 It's his own stupid fault for donating to the Labour Party He should have donated to the Tories instead. Camerloon would be rushing to his defence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caparo Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 I'm rather puzzled about how Paul Flowers got appointed as chairman of the Co-operative Bank. Being a Labour councilor and minister of the church are not usually considered to be sufficient qualifications for this type of appointment. Can anyone shed any light on the subject?

I1L2T3 Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 I'm rather puzzled about how Paul Flowers got appointed as chairman of the Co-operative Bank. Being a Labour councilor and minister of the church are not usually considered to be sufficient qualifications for this type of appointment. Can anyone shed any light on the subject? I read an article today on this. It seems incredible but the key reason seems to be that he had no banking experience and therefore was untainted by the events leading up to the 2008 crash. he was a reverend too and therefore it was assumed he would high ethical standards. He was already a director at the co-op and therefore assumed to have an understanding of the business. Basically they needed to find someone who was acceptable to politicians and the public, and at that time finding a senior banker untainted by the 2008 crash was very difficult. Still is.

Stan Tamudo Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 I don't remember Cameron as keen to have enquiries into the Tory bankers execs as he is with this co-op bloke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
