Northern Rock and Coventry Building Society's mutual benefit

When the Coventry Building Society first said it wanted to take over Northern Rock, it was virtually ignored. Now it wants to launch a campaign to try to whip up enthusiasm by presenting a deal as a "remutualisation" of the Rock. That's disingenuous: taxpayers have put �1.3bn into the Rock and the investment shouldn't simply be handed to Coventry's members.
