Should Sir Fred Goodwin be denied his RBS pension? The government has asked the former chief executive of Royal Bank of Scotland, Sir Fred Goodwin, to forgo some of his pension. Chancellor Alistair Darling told the BBC of the government's approach after it emerged that Sir Fred is drawing a pension of £650,000 a year. Sir Fred is reportedly "furious" that his pensions details have been leaked, but should he renounce what he's legally entitled to? Or should the government just stop paying it, and leave him to sue if he so chooses? Graham Stewart takes your calls, texts and emails.
