    I am just a bit narked that I haven't been mis-sold anything, so have missed out on all the compensation payments:(

    Seriously though, doesn't some of the responsibility rest with the general public in that they should scrutinize the small print before signing anything?
    Stopped smoking 27/12/2007, but could start again at any time :eek:

    you've over stretched yourself with your accusations,and it's not recoverable.

    All the accusations are justified, if you disagree with any I suggest you find evidence they are wrong rather than add to the shame.

    This thread is indeed embarrassing for the bank apologists and for MSE since it doesn't represent the views of the consumer.

    Perhaps you are frightened that a few more are starting to find it who think like I do?

    I am horrified at these boards, they are making a mockery of what Martin Lewis set out to achieve. Posters should be made to declare any conflicts of interest or leave MSE.

    Martins article in the Telegraph, which is diametrically opposed to all the endorsements of the exploitative attitudes of the finance industry posted on this thread.
    Martin Lewis: In support of stupid people's rights

    Ripped off or caught out by the small print? It's your fault for not taking enough care, some cynics say. Martin Lewis begs to differ

    At least the comments were more 'balanced' on there!

    Let's not be cynical.
    Mr Lewis owns 100pc of the business and is expected to receive £35m in cash and around 22.1m shares in MoneySupermarket.com.

    Of which £10 million he chose to give to charity. £1 million to Citizens Advice which was being cut.

    Don't let's be beastly to the bankers!

    We are grateful to @KimBallard3 for suggesting this wonderful ditty by Richard Parry (inspired by Noel Coward (not for his banking skills)) entreating us all to be nice to bankers.

    After all, even bankers have feelings. They may even have mothers who may even love them. Who knows?

    Amusing &insightful blog from private banker @BankersUmbrella on JPMorgan Twitter disaster AskJPM

    http://www.bankersumbrella.com/blog.html

    Perhaps JPMorgan should post their propaganda in this thread? Oh hang on they probably already have!

    @ReformedBroker I have Mortgage Fraud, Market Manipulation, Credit Card Abuse, Libor Rigging and Predatory Lending AM I DIVERSIFIED?
