That’s it Lucy Kellaway. Keep them honest.

Sir, setting of course aside the pay package of £8.25m a year, I would not like to be in Jes Staley shoes having to face those who when meeting him discreetly look away after having read Lucy Kellaway’s “Barclays boss needs to ditch his inexcusable focus on value”

Good for her. To reveal haughty arrogant stupidity among the powerful is the absolutely most important role journalists have.

That’s the “Without fear and without favor” spirit we expect from the Financial Times. I have sure been missing a lot of it lately.
