OK, I said back in April that TSB’s Chief Exec wouldn’t last until the end of the week. He’s toughed it for another four months, even braving a caning from the kind souls of the Treasury Select Committee. Would it be cynical of me to suggest that, had he fallen on his sword too soon, his mega-payoff might not have been so mega? And that he’ll have no trouble walking into a few, reasonably-well remunerated non-executive positions on various boards of directors? My advice would be, in the words of Woody Allen, to Take the Money and Run.

Here’s the flip side. Should a business not have the right to choose whom it serves? If you as a client, or more likely potential client, rub us up the wrong way, are a declared anti-vaxxer or support the barges, can we not, as a business, say ‘Be Gone’?
