    "No doubt his "financial guidance" (always short of advice), to buy Bitcoin, judging by the articles on his site, would have been the perfect solution if it hadn't been for those meddling politicians." This is actually a brilliant reference (intentional or unintentional?) to the classic "And I would have gotten away with all of this (crime) if it hadn't been for those meddling kids" from the end of most episodes of Scooby Doo.

    "No doubt his "financial guidance" (always short of advice)
    For £199 he promised 'advice' in one of his promo videos (now seems to be deleted) which caused my ears to stick up. Of course if he is just promising 'advice' and not actually giving his high risk nutty 'advice' then I guess that's an advertising issue rather than performing a regulated activity with an unregulated publication run by a regulated company...

    I'm quite happy to report this little venture for breaches of any rules, despite knowing there is little chance of anything being done, but a casual look at the site itself didn't turn up anything I thought was sufficiently concrete.
    I do like the closing sentence quoted on that City AM article, ain't that the truth!

    I think you are likely to get away with describing generic guidance and share tips as "advice", bearing in mind former Chancellor the Exchequer George Osborne committed the same error in Parliament, when he promised "free, impartial, face-to-face advice" for all pension holders which turned out to be no such thing.
  • The “financial education” industry needs to be regulated. It is full of fraudsters and charlatans.
  • Mr Farage is rather too like a modern day version of Mr Toad from 'The Wind in the Willows' for me to believe in anything he ever says!

    I doubt if you could squeeze a cigarette paper between Farage and David Icke when it comes to reliability, credulity and integrity.
    I don't care about your first world problems; I have enough of my own!
