    When you consider that the present chairman of Natwest Group was the previous chairman of the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), then it becomes clearer why the FCA is more keen on imposing diversity quotas on regulated companies than in restraining their sharp practices.

    Regulators in general seem to be useless, being composed of either woke old pals or industry insiders. Another case of our politicians taking the line of least resistance.

    I've got a friend who's father had investments being managed by HSBC; after his fathers recent death after a long illness with dementia, it turns out HSBC were doing trades buying and selling shares REGARDLESS OF PROFITS OR LOSSES, AS THE TRADES WERE CREATING FEES THEY COULD TAKE FROM THE INVESTMENTS – There's records of shares being bought and then sold, within WEEKS. It went from a listing of just over 1 million 10 years ago to…… less than 100,000. A 90% loss. He is currently suing the shit out of HSBC.

    I'll bet there's a lot more cases like that.

    It’s not the responsibility of any bank or building society to look beyond recommendations for a will writing service. However, with any such advise, it should be advised to their clients that their recommendation is purely for will writing and nothing beyond that. I would like to see a copy of the recommendation advice.

    It seems like a financial advisor is someone who advises you on investing your money until it has all gone

    Every single person working in financial services is not to be trusted in the slightest. I don't care who it is what they're selling or what their background is, the vast majority of this banking class have destroyed the west, they even travel on diplomatic passports ffs, they are all professional money launderers.

    It costs 700 pounds per week to keep ONE person in prison and there are 88,500 of them in England and Wales so you can see also its costs 8.2 Million a day to keep ILLEGAL immigrants in hotels etc.

Andy Burnham reacts to DEVASTATING Stourbridge fires as homes GUTTED: “Never seen anything like it”

Published

on

By



Andy Burnham has visited families in Stourbridge after seeing the scenes of houses devastated by fires.

The Prime Minister outlined his plans to support those affected by the destruction, as he issued a temporary ban on the sale of disposable barbecue.

The ban comes into force today.

Speaking about the fires in Stourbridge, he said: “I’ve never seen anything like it. I mean, I dealt with wildfires in Greater Manchester, but nothing on this scale. I’ve never seen scenes like this in Britain, where you just see a whole house gutted, smouldering.

“And I met one of the families whose house had gone up in that in that way, so you can imagine how distressing that is for for them, and you feel for them and their kids, and not to go elsewhere.

“You know, it’s just unbelievably devastating for people in this in this position. So that’s why I’m here. I just wanted to show that, you know, we’re on the ground.

“We understand how difficult this is for everybody, and we will put in place the support to help people get back to where they should be as soon as possible.”

We now live in GASLIT BRITAIN

Published

on

By



Mark Littlewood says “we now live in gaslit Britain” after it emerged the Home Office published a guide for illegal migrants on how “not to rape women”.

It is just one of the resources available in a collection titled: “Understanding behaviours and expectations in the UK: a guide for asylum seekers”.

Posters and information on rape, the age of consent and child abuse are among the guides to help asylum seekers “understand what is expected when living in the UK”.

The guidance highlights child rape is illegal “even if they look older” or if “it is allowed in another country”.

Speaking to Patrick Christys on GB News, political commentator Mark Littlewood said: “This pamphlet is extraordinary. And the reason I find it so extraordinary and disturbing is if you need that pamphlet, I don’t want you anywhere near my country.”

A Home Office spokesperson told GB News: “We expect everyone who comes to the UK to abide by our laws.

“If they do not, they will face consequences, including the refusal of their asylum claim and removal from the UK.

“Returns of failed asylum seekers have reached their highest level since 2010 under this Government.”

British burqa ban? GB News guest urges UK to follow Portugal

Published

on

By



Tiffany Marie Brannon has urged Britain to introduce a burqa ban after Portugal did so.

Portugal has banned face-coverings in public in a measure widely seen as a “burka law” targeting Muslim women.

President António José Seguro signed into law a bill that originated with the hard right-wing Chega party.

The policy was adopted by Lisbon in July with votes from the right-wing governing coalition and the hard right, while left-wing parties voted against it.

Speaking on The Late Show Live on GB News, Tiffany Marie Brannon argued that the issue raises wider questions about integration, cultural identity and the role of religious dress in British public life, as the debate over face coverings continues to divide opinion.
