No Car Credit

Caveat Emptor

It wasn't just the high prices, it was the undrehand tactics and dodgy cars they were selling. They were on watchdog often.

Or do you believe people should be protected from themselves?

"Or do you believe people should be protected from themselves?"

Where did I ever say that? All I said was that I wouldn't miss them for the reasona I have already stated.

I believe that sometimes people should be protected from themselves - but that is NOT the job of the State. In a society where it is harder for communities to form we become less self-regulating and rely on the State to sort it out.

Noddy, what form should this protection take and to whom should it be applied?

Easy peasy

You should just give all your money to the state (good start, Gordon) and then receive vouchers for state-provided food, housing, tv-licensing, alcohol and.....err, that's it.
If no one can choose what to spend their money on then no-one can be cheated.

Yes Car Credit are finished (despite 29.8% apr) and add another 800 people to the other 10,000 that joined the great unwashed this month.

Biggest surprise is that is ws n't bad debt which finished them so much as the administration of the company. Although why they could n't make a profit while charging twice what some Credit Cards do I don't know.

That's my kind of talk, comrade. If we all had nothing we'd all be much happier (and the lefties would feel less guilty).

I talking about the more subtle checks and balances that seems to be lost in the rush to legislate.

I obviously need to spell it out - the quiet word, the dirty look, ignoring someone, congratuating them on their new baby instead of their new car.
