You're the pillock if you think it is good for Peston to know market sensitive information and leak it via the BBC to cause a run on a bank. That's exactly why he is being investigated.
It's perfectly possible that some of his millionaire buddies have made a fortune on the back of this, and there are laws against it. You have probably never heard of 'insider trading' as you show amazing ignorance in your post.Comment

He is being leaked market sensitive information probably via his friends in the Treasury. Sometimes in this world just because you have information you do not go spreading it around if you know that it is going to cause major damage or hurt to people.
I cannot remember what the story was but there was an occasion last year where the press all agreed not to publish certain information because it would have caused untold damage. There is an element of personal responsibility here that sadly seems to be totally lacking in left-wing circles of Labour and the BBC.Comment

1 protect the shareholders and management by keeping your mouth shut
2 protect the customers by telling everyone the news
Seeing as 2 is, and should be the default action for a journalist, Peston was right. If banks and the treasury are too bloody incompetent to manage their own finances and the flow of information to and from their own employees then I'm glad we have people like Robert Peston to expose that.And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument?

If HMG and the Treasury are too incompetent to avoid leaks somebody there should be sacked. Personally I believe that they were all in on this in order to publicise what baddies the private sector are and to attempt to show HMG in a good light.. My, my, my, how that backfired !!!!Comment
