I lost my B&B shares.

Luckily I got them free when they demutualised.

Being a shareholder comes with responsibilities. B&B shareholders should have thought of this eight years ago.

Some folk will do and say anything, no matter how dim it makes them look, in order to get their 2 minutes on air.

He was from the UK Shareholders Alliance I think. He said he was representing "unsophisticated investors," and his organisation was preparing to take the government to court for nationalising Bradford & Bingley causing its shareholders to lose their money.

He seemed oblivious to the fact that B&B was on the brink of meltdown when it was nationalised and the financial implications this would have had for his "unsophisticated investors."

My first thought was that if you're that f**king unsophisticated that you've been entirely ignorant of what's been going on for the last year in the banking sector then you're a numpty for holding shares in the first place. Maybe you should have bought premium bonds instead...
