Landsbanki Guernsey (not Icesave Or Kaupthing)

This plea is to highlight the way depositors in Guernsey have been totally abandoned by the UK, Guernsey and Icelandic authorities to
  1. Make a case for these unfortunate individuals like me who are retired and placed their life savings earned abroad with this institution. It was not for any tax evasion or tax avoidance.
  2. Put pressure on the Guernsey Authorities at the highest level on behalf of innocent investors who have put their faith in Guernsey and who now face the prospect of losing money. Undoubtedly, if they offer no support or fail to influence the bank administrators, they will face a severe loss of confidence from future investors, which could have a big impact on the livelihood of the island's economy.
For all of you in the same boat as savers in Landsbanki Guernsey, I would like us to unite with the view of forming a proactive group to lobby and create pressure on all concerned. In this, we could initiate a blog for these savers to get together for a concerted action. It would also be most helpful to have your suggestions and especially on identifying and getting contact details of these savers.
