In a speech delivered to shareholders today (April 3rd), Mr Hampton called for an end to the "public flogging" of the bank which had to be rescued by the intervention of the government.
"Some of the practices that were accepted at the height of a boom when the bank was recording £10 billion profits, cannot be acceptable now if indeed they ever really were," he commented.
RBS shareholders will be given the chance to express their anger at the near-collapse of the bank last year and are expected to reject a report on executive pay in what will be a largely symbolic gesture.
In related news, four people have been charged over an attack on a branch of RBS during anti-capitalist protests in London recently.
