    After all the sanctimonious finger pointing at the buy-to-letters, I'm afraid I have limited sympathy for these oh-so-poor savers who do nothing with their money to support commercial activity in the wider economy. We are supposed to view them as some kind of model of propriety when in fact, if we all did as they do, the global economy would have sunk without trace long before the current crisis.

    Hoarders, unrealistically expecting big % interest handouts come rain or shine when others are losing their jobs.

    There are always two sides to every story.

    Never ceases to amaze, the total drivel spouted by some people :rolleyes:
