Did anyone watch 'How safe is your cash' earlier this week.?

Apparently, when you receive your new credit/debit card and it has a sticker on it to 'activate' your card, you get straight through to CPP, a rather unsavoury company that sells CC insurance. And....get this....the bank gets a large part of your premium should you choose to buy.

Bastuds never stop trying to diddle you.

Like I say......born evil.

[cleggy]

They are called W bankers for a reason

The other side of the coin,which doesnt make for good headlines these days......
A new womens refuge for battered women is just about to open in Hackney.One of the fund raisers paid a visit to the square mile yesterday.She went into one of the financial institiutions and asked on reception if she could leave a collection tin there for people to make donations if they wished.A quick phone call was made and then a manager appeared and took her straight up to the trading floor.
Every single person made a substantial donation from their wallets and purses,no coins involved.The women thought Christmas had come early as she saw all this money being given to her.She was then advised that city workers and companies are highly competitive so she should go to all the other banks and trading houses and tell them how much she had collected from the first one,and they would probably all try to outdo one another.
Its going to be a good Christmas at Hackney Womens refuge this year.

All born evil ? Yeah right.

They can afford it. They'll always have a job when we (the taxpayer) bail them out.

Hundreds of thousands of them lost their jobs before anyone else did,and its still happening.
Theres none so blind as those who dont want to see.

There's a merchant banker on panorama at 9 tonight. Lost his house and is living rough in the park.
 
Never mind, Albs will put him up in the spare room.

Btw,the bank concerned,like most banks hasnt taken a penny of taxpayers money.It isnt a British bank,but it hasnt taken any money from its own government either.
Its home country hasnt been in recession for many years,so the problem didnt arise.

[Varche]

Yep, tears streaming down my face for these bankers.

Lots of people who used to make an honest living now cannot.

The ignorant vindictiveness of a socialist. At least capitalists are upfront, socialists' feather their own nests (nothing wrong with that), whilst preaching to everybody else.

You could just say no to CPP. A large part of our economy is selling, goods, services, insurance and financial products, the taxation from which keeps this country going. Stick that in your pipe (bought from a private sector profit making tax paying firm) and smoke it.

seems like the meaning of word socialist is bent and understood  as a mixture fascist/capitalist by some...
 
for those interested socialist means the one interested with masses benefit , instead of worshipping capital..

No cem, it seems you've completely misunderstood my post. I'm obviously referring to the op as a socialist, not the banker featured in the program. Obvious really.

I'm not a socialist. Nor am I ignorant or vindictive. I merely think that bankers should be shot in front of their families....and you along with them

I've always though stupid people shouldn't be mocked, only the ones who are proud of their stupidity.

Is that your true colours coming out then? When are you moving to Cuba?

You're more than welcome to come to Sunderland and try. I've been shot at, blown up, beaten up, bricked, you name it already. I'm sure I can deal with you. You're a proper little keyboard warrior. I could be nasty, it'd be too easy, but I'm better than you.
