One aspect of my job involves the control of fast-flowing concrete,
sometimes under high pressure. Not only is it common sense, but also part of
Health & Safety regulations, that operators like myself wear protective
goggles.
However, it is becoming increasingly necessary to employ
eye protection outside normal working hours. Since my postal “sparring” with the banks began, there has been a marked increase in optical risk levels.
Firstly, and in response to my complaint, Halifax and friends threw sand in
my eyes. Shortly afterwards, the regulators (and I use the term very
loosely) joined in, only now, what leaps out at us from each page of
correspondence is bullshit!
It’s all very well for Llanelli Scar ( www.llanelliscar.co.uk ) to poke fun
at Carmarthenshire County Council with their “bullshit alert” bulletins
similar to the colour-coded terror alerts present here and in the USA.
But WE are the victims who have forgotten how to fight back against official
incompetence and injustice.
WE in the United Kingdom are the laughing stock of Europe.
Regulation costs us hundreds of millions of pounds annually, and WE are not
getting value for money. Just look how my complaint was handled. It’s no
longer a joke. The government issues fake warnings to the banks in the
knowledge that we take notice and believe something is – at last – being
done. But it is all part of the softening-up process, consumer betrayal of
the worst kind …… trying to convince US that the corporate con-men are being
forced to mend their ways….. RED ALERT!
WHAT THIS COUNTRY LACKS, IS COMMITMENT WITHIN THE CROWN PROSECUTION SERVICE.
I BELIEVE THE HALIFAX – AND THEY ARE NOT ALONE – ARE GUILTY OF THE MOST
TRANSPARENT FRAUD IN BANKING HISTORY…… AND THE FINANCIAL SERVICES AUTHORITY;
THE FINANCIAL OMBUDSMAN SERVICE; THE ADVERTISING STANDARDS AUTHORITY AND
TRADING STANDARDS ARE AIDING AND ABBETTING THEM.
