FCA Bonuses!!

Yes, it seems like the more money they ensure is stolen from hard-working Brits, the higher their bonuses.

As the article states:

"Gina Miller, the business activist and co-founder of the True and Fair Campaign, which is calling for a package of financial reforms to benefit consumers, said: “These payouts are an absolute insult to people who have lost their life savings or have had their lives decimated because we have a regulator which isn’t fit for purpose.



“We have seen over the last five years some of the biggest financial scandals due to a lack of enforcement and regulatory rigour. It’s unbelievable against that backdrop to award these bonuses. This is an organisation which has failed from top to bottom.”"

Can someone remind me exactly how Gina Miller came in to her fortune?

Looks like she has married well - she has had threats of violence against her which is appalling.

Having searched her at companies house I see little evidence of her (unlike hubbies) fortune

I just like to know where people are coming from, in the sense of what is their agenda?
Before I welcome them in to my tent.

On the Brexit campaign it looks to me as if she was a front person funded by remainers and/or crowd funding.

I see Wikipedia seems to indicate her charity was deregistered when it failed to satisfy the Charity Commission.

It also indicated she is involved in an investment company with her very rich husband. (3rd husband).

Perhaps she saw things there in the investment industry that disadvantaged her husband? Or was just shocked by the poor quality of consumer investment advice delivered by others. Or saw an opportunity for a crusade?

This whole area developed a lot with the death of lifetime employment and tied pensions. After that it seems to me came the wild west based on the American model. Fees galore.

Being a regulator is not fun to my mind. What is the mentality required?

Criticism is easy. If we rely on her involvement I'd be asking what are the proposals to improve things, are they realistic, and the position she may wish to occupy in their implementation and beyond.

Her degree is marketing and early career seems to include time with BMW marketing and events.

Looks like an ambitious successful lady. In my view not easy to find enough common ground for us to overcome the animosity she has generated, from her apparent rather general attack on the City.

Our case is more specific I would hope.

I have no axe to grind, but don't much like relying on celebrities whose agenda is unknown and which might change at any time.
This FS things looks as if it might run for many years.



(Until it can be quietly forgotten some
of our opponents would hope.)
