Why is it that people who lose straightforward cases always complain of Government interference?

You can't BTW, you have to exhaust the local legal system first.

And I know you're not speaking to me, but how can five pounds a share possibly be justified when the value in the market when they went cap in hand to the BoE, was less then three. Nonsense, utter nonsense.

I think JRs in general are a scam. Just like the way a JR was refused for the Montpelier guys.

Next step ECOHR, which HMG cannot so easily influence.

From BP's sig:

Northern Rock had a relatively small pool of deposits from savers and was heavily dependent on capital markets for 75 per cent of its funding which meant it was the first UK Bank to hit the buffers.

Bad business model. Caveat Emptor.

End of story.

I don't see why i should pay for your poor investments via my tax money, anymore than I should pay for banking exec bonuses.

You know, I was thinking about this the other day, I had a couple of thousand shares in HBOS before they had to be 'rescued' by Lloyds. I'm thinking about launching an action against James Crosby for the loss in value of my shares due to his negligence. I'm doing a bit of digging to see if it's worth my while.
