12 yrs in jail... Sweet! Hopefully, while he's in there, one day he'll slap the wrong arse and get a more direct form of punishment as well. Not sure the CPS will get much out of their intended asset-seizing activities; anything that isn't hocked up to the eyeballs is likely squirreled away. MD might be a twot of the highest order, but he is a resourceful twot, no doubt. Actually, I've got a fair amount to be grateful to MD for. It was Lendy's insistence that MD was good for the loans in spite of the incredible amount of evidence to suggest otherwise, that prompted me to dump the platform. Still happy to see him go down for a stretch though. Only thing is that I now wonder why the Curie Bros got off so lightly... a mostly academic exercise and I am pretty well aligned with duck 's line of thinking around the FCA, quick wins and not drawing too much attention to their part in the whole CollateralUK fiasco. Yep, the "Jock Boatyard" on Funding Secure started my serious misgivings about P2P, and this Lendy fiasco convinced me to get out altogether asap. Some people should be very embarrassed about what they posted in the early days of this thread, if they haven't deleted them by now. I tried to argue VERY hard about the serious danger of ridiculously inaccurate "Professional Valuations" and was considered to be scaremongering, most at the time were of the mind that ludicrously high over-valuations weren't something to be concerned about! I found it VERY hard to understand that line of thinking. Of coure, "getting out of P2P" is virtually impossible as it can take years. Whilst you're locked in you can't do a thing about it, and watch in horror as the car crash you KNEW was going to happen, slowly happens, over months and months and years. I'm just pleased that the super competent FCA were hard on the case and all over it all the time, protecting our interests.

What could ever go wrong, an "investment" that is based purely on "confidence" and has zero assets backing it ................ Now at a record high of over $71k. Fill yer boots! I'll keep my shirt thanks.

Anybody who's not absolutely hetero-cis is a "vacuous ... wet fcukwit", iyho? Your "logic" is not even appalling, it's something FAR beyond that .........

Because they're a vacuous generation of wet fcukwits? ...and that's what you think "28% identify as LGBT+" says to you, is it? Yes.

I think "corporate liability" was the phrase I was looking for, and I suspect that both Fujitsu and the Post Office could be facing criminal and civil liability at the end of this. I hope so, you can't just knowingly crush people and totally ruin their lives because of your own mistakes. Oh, wait a minute, the FCA can ........

As my passport has recently expired and cant be bothered to go through the tedious process of renewing it I am looking for a list of all the countries I could visit/move to whithout one. An added bonus would be ones who offer free accomodation and food with a few quid a week spending money. Thanks Oh, you ARE cheeky, but I like you!

Our clinic is much the same. Hit or a miss on what service quality you get. 5 options to press before a long wait to get call answered by a disinterested teenager who either never listens or cuts you off. No one to complain to without fear of being barred and a different Gp if you are lucky enough to see one. The nurses are great though for routine jabs etc. A truly broken system . Today's disgraceful figures sum this up. No political party can fix it. This was happening way before covid. Fingers crossed it improves or a 2 tier system will surely develop. FAR too many people using the NHS who have paid fornication all towards it? Supply and Demand isn't it? And No Shows should definitely receive a hefty billing, as should Health Tourists.

I liked this quote about Baroness Owen of Alderley Edge, According to Alan Rusbridger of Prospect, " There is almost nothing to know about Charlotte Owen. She is a blank sheet of paper. She has done very little of note. She has no discernible views about anything. The sum total of her achievements would barely stretch to the full 280 characters of a tweet". Its possible of course, that she is actually Boris Johnson's daughter Or his father's?

It was mentioned on Radio 4 earlier that the Post Office have spent more money on lawyers fighting against the clearing of wrongly prosecuted (sub) postmasters than they have compensating those same (sub) Postmasters. IMHO Ed Davey and Paula Vennells should be giving back their honours although in the latter case the petition to remove it has hit 800,000 signatures. one thing I don't understand, why when Horizon was wrong the Post Office in many cases forced Postmasters to pay they money back ( despite it not really being owed). But the compensation is being paid by the Government ie it is coming from our pockets. "..........the Post Office have spent more money on lawyers fighting against the clearing of wrongly prosecuted (sub) postmasters........"Obviously copied and followed The FCA Rule Book.

re Amerdeep Somal. Not disapointed to see her go. She did make some decent point to the Treasury Committee regarding 'compensation', words that might have come back to haunt her when the Col complaints hit her desk but that is no longer to be. One thing that did strike me as I read each one of her rulings was how common the phrase "I have seen confidential documents ...." was before finding against the complainant. This is of course of direct relevance to Collateral investors. The FCA will continue to insist (as they have to me on many occasions) that documents are confidential ........... their way of shutting down any discussion/examination of the facts. I did some 'fag packet' calcs on Somal's rulings and +80% were against the complainant ............ but a lot of that percentage can be put down to the rules of what the FRCC/FCA can investigate (the rules) and the standard of the complaints. That said a very interesting ruling was issued a couple of days ago. This was raised by a well known thorn in the side of the FCA. What he discovered is that his (and others) emails and complaints were being diverted internally at the FCA for special attention. This would be a breach of GDPR. Don't forget the FOI team has now been taken under the wing of the 'Communications Team' (reputation management). The FCA initially denied that communications diversion hadn't taken place but finally admitted that they had been caught out. In her ruling you will see Somal didn't examine the GDPR aspect (she openly states this) However Somal's ruling (well worth a read) seems to centre on herself and how the FCA misled her but still manages to find that the FCA didn't deliberately mislead. I am far more skeptical. "The FCA initially denied that communications diversion hadn't taken place"How often does the FCA need to be caught lying misleading (there are other cases), before the Treasury Committee, MPs, etc finally realise that the oh so upstanding FCA are, errrrrrr, fully capable of lying misleading?! You'd be forgiven for thinking that those who are entrusted to "oversee" and "monitor" the FCA and its shenanigans, don't really care?

Dishonest & Slippery too (to add to your list). I'm out of P2P as well - not worth the extra 2-3%. I'd have reconsidered for 5+%, had the FCA / FOS been Functional.
"......... had the FCA / FOS been Functional."Ain't that the truth! In fact, I think most of us would be more than pleased if they were simply awake.

Feliĉan Kristnaskon al ĉiuj. Come on, it’s just season greetings. I have plenty of non christians saying this to almost every body whether religious or not, buddhists, muslims and atheists, including cards and presents from muslim friends. 'course, the actual objection here isn't that people are trying to stopping you, Oz, Michael, Berny, Ethel, Marky, Mogish from saying whatever the hell you want to whoever the hell you want... Fill yer boots. It's that you want others to be stopped from saying things to you that don't fit your preference. Why can't they have the same freedom as you? Why do a few friendly syllables different cause you such anguish? Indeed, what's so different between "happy holidays" and the phrase you just used, "seasons greetings"? Neither explicitly reference one particular winter celebration, but both can be taken to include it. A cynic might suggest it could be described as "snowflake cancel culture". My point is that any increasing and general use of "Happy Holidays" may eventually cause the extinction of "Merry Christmas", and that would be the erosion and erasure of a big part of our British history, traditions, culture and being. Some Brits actually don't want and don't condone the ongoing onslaught to erode and erase our history, traditions, culture and being.

Yup, while getting himself to Dubai. I knew this was going to happen and have said so, I suppose most of us knew really. So yea, we were being fed a load of bull all along, this was part of the plan. I think the core of us who have been posting for the last few months knew. A promise of jam tomorrow whilst the family silver was being protected. It's funny how his fan club members haven't been around for some time. All the failed Platforms had their coterie of Hard Core Fan Club Cheerleading Flag Wavers. Who gradually slunk away, some not until the bitter and obvious very end. I always wondered about their "cognitive" and other abilities. Or lack of.

Nobody is feeling "threatened". Gordon Bennet.... Really...? Isn't that exactly what this whole thread's about? "Me, ME! It's all about ME! You have to do it the way I WANT! Any other view is much less important. I'll be VERY offended if you don't use the words I WANT TO HEAR!"Your italicised quote would seem to fit exactly The PC Lefty Wokes?
