Nah pal ... you are definitely the idiot, and genuinely successful people never feel the need to be boastful in the way you are. You enjoy acting smug and dishing out your hindsight babblings.

I second that...I too work in financial services, but I'm embarassed by my industry at the moment, not proud of it!

This very thread was just shown on channel 4 news! Jon Snow was grilling Martin and accusing him as Woodyrocks said, but that's what he always does to guests and Martin really did put him in his place.

I do feel sorry for Martin. People always have to have a scapegoat.

Yes, it must be time to blame the innocent :rolleyes:

The advice on this website has been clear for a long time. If people don't have the common sense to read it and think about where their money is going, then it's hardly the fault of MSE.

I took the risk of leaving cash with Icesave (but well under £35K). It's come back to bite me, but I expect to receive my money back at some point.

I'm still waiting for your views on Standard Life Bank Rachman

Is Mr Lewis a registered financial adviser ?

From green banner at bottom of page (doesn't say he is an IFA):

I've just searched the entire MSE database and can't find ANY posts by Rachman relating to Icesave before today.

If you were so well informed, why no warnings from you??

Hindsight is always 20/20

Yes, I have just watched Martin Lewis on the news saying exactly the same, and the fact our Goverment may step in to help cover the first £50,000 along with Iceland.
Fingers crossed we get help!!

Are you watching the mother of 4 on BBC24 who has over £200,000 in Icesave.

Surely the government can't allow people to lose their lifesavings.
