Martins Chnl 4 Appearance

John Snow was most unfair and dare I say ill informed and unprofessional in his comments (/attack) on Martin RE IceSave. The User name I have chosen is no accident as I, like most others, read Martin's advice carefully. I have savings in the other Icelandic bank. I chose this based on Martin's rounded advice - it has turned out to be the best choice - as Martin said! I understand peoples anger if you have been caught out but the information was out there for all to read. I am most sorry for those with £50k + in IceSave. But, again, you were warned!

There is a separate thread already discussing this.
Jon Snow is an interviewer, it was only right he pushed and questioned Martin. However I agree Martin is obviously not to blame.
It's all very well to say everyone was warned, true enough, but who thought a year ago any of these situations were possible?0 -
Or putting it crudely, who the hell thought there was a problem when boarding the Titanic....No-one, cos it was unsinkable (It said so in the T & C's). Circumstances change, and none so fast as this chuffing mess. If you want to blame anyone, blame America. Did you see that exec from leeman Brothers defending himself taking $250million out of the company pot last year !!!!!!There is a separate thread already discussing this.
