Nowt says you. Well I would have said nowt also until I read Vaughan’s entry on the wonderful BBC Ouch blog today. The trust established to own Northern Rock’s assets lists a small (and I mean very small) charity in Newcastle in the UK as a beneficiary. Now nobody told Down Syndrome North East that they were in such a lofty position! A cut of £71bn (before the crisis/crash like!) would go a long way to supporting families. Granite (the trust) and Northern Rock are now in more trouble (could it get any worse for them!!)

Ian Cobain and Ian Griffiths in the Guardian have done all the digging, Vaughan does the disability spin on Ouch.
