When will it dawn on our politicians that because many people have little understanding of money, a great many cannot make proper sense of percentages, and most cannot tell you what an APR is, they are failing in their duty to protect the public from exploitation.

After ten years of amoral government, and in particular, a ten year stint by an amoral chancellor, the current state of affairs is not totally surprising.

This should be good fodder for the opposition - but don't hold your breath!
