Wonga/Payday Express - Why don't they play ball?

Note how the disinformationalists in this thread work as pack-animals. Spot their hit-and-run distractions, their emotionalising, the goading, the antagonism, the mutual back-slapping..

It's all classic textbook stuff taught in every propaganda school!

Today, rogue lenders are spending hundreds of millions of pounds in a wall-to-wall cross-platform advertising blitz.

Every goddamn night, prime-time British TV is punctuated by mindless adverts for wanka.com, the most Predatory Lender of them all.

Flick through any red-top and there too you'll find the pages bursting with adverts for wanka.com et al.

Our favourite internet sites, once again, we find the spoor of wanka.com. Web pages spattered with ghastly animations of the slithery "slider" from the repulsive lender.

What we are witnessing here is an advertising campaign on an unprecedented scale. We are talking hundreds of millions of pounds in advertising spend, to date.

So in the great the scheme of things, the cost is peanuts of funding some frauds, phonies and fakes to ply our internet forums with bogus messages of support for wanka.com and other rogue lenders.

It's called "Full Spectrum Dominance". Pump your corporate poison from every propaganda outlet available and where necessary, work covertly.

Out of curiosity, what sort of wage does an online Perception Management Operative earn these days?

Judging by the abysmal quality of their output, these creatures are scarcely worth the national minimum wage. It's a thankless, disheartening job, to say the least. Are there any perks to it? Maybe they get discounts on their own payday loans? *snigger!*

Anyone know who runs PR for wanka.com? The rogue payday lender claims to have an in-house marketing department, but much of its propaganda is obviously outsourced.

Outsourcing is particularly important for the really dirty marketing campaigns. Often these activities border on the unlawful. This black-op propaganda is generally farmed out to separate enterprises specifically for the purposes of plausible deniability.

This is especially the case where false claims are being made about a product or service, which would ultimately be challenged in court, if those claims were being made directly by a company.. This is all standard operating procedure in marketing.

Operations like Wonga.Com would be criminal in many parts of the developed world. Even in Britain the company operates on the absolute periphery of the law. It's our public duty to fell this monstrous beast for the betterment and certainly the enrichment of the United Kingdom.

There was me thinking wanka.com = asbokid.

Obviously from all the posts on here it must be one of the most successful advertising campaigns for a long time?

Oh, and FYI a "online Perception Management Operative" currently pays £10 an hour. Nice work if you can get it......;)

Asbo where is Wale's - I can't find it on my conspiracy map?

Back to more important matters,I feel that crisps are not figuring as highly as they were earlier.

I for one had smoky bacon

Derivative

I had rice snaps for cereal. Nom nom nom.

WRT thread title -
Wonga does play ball. Dodgeball. (with a wrecking ball).

Alas wanka.com is not I, but certainly not for want of trying.

We went to register the domain wanka.com. It would have been a public interest website to expose predatory lenders like wonga.com

But, sadly, some wanka had beaten us to it. A Mr Roland Wanka to be precise:

Registrant of wanka.com

Apologies to the good gentleman for associating him with the disreputable shower behind wonga.com

I suspect you wrote that drivel out on a Word document that was double spaced. I also suspect you've been on the Skittles again.

Thank god a bit of peace, must be past their bedtimes.

Has anyone approached the private equity toads who are providing the funding for this major advertising blitz to promote this rogue lender?

We read that much of the capital behind wonga.com comes from the Wellcome Trust, university endowment funds and pension funds.

What a despicable abuse of public generosity. There must be full disclosure on this. The public has a right to learn the truth about wonga.com, however horrific it may be.

Those wishing to donate to charity or to a university, or planning to take out a pension have a right to know that their money will be invested ethically.

Abusing charity donations by bankrolling the loan shark industry that empoverishes the very poorest people in our land is not only immoral, it is without mitigation, disgusting.


The slimemould responsible for this shameful state of affairs are Balderton Capital. They are a firm of repulsive private equity vultures. To date, Balderton has ploughed tens of millions of pounds into wanka.com. The true scale of this operation should be unravelled publicly.

Balderton and its City of London accomplices should be dragged before a Select Committee of the House of Commons. These deeply shadowy and sinister private bankers should be ordered to disclose, under penalty of contempt of court, the origins of all their financing of wanka.com.

Just where is this money coming from? We must be told.
