Yes! Because there is no regulation! None whatsoever! and definitely nothing planned!

Apart from the FSA handbook, the money laundering requirements, suitability requirements, FATCA, Dodd Frank Act, MiFID No. 2, the Bribery Act, the Finance Bill

My area works, where I work. If that makes sense

We had a training session from a consultancy this morning about one of the new regimes coming in, and consultant dude was all "well, if you have a very patchy you're screwed, and we could help you out" (I got very sniffy at that and gave him evils, because I bet they'd charge a few hundred thousand and come up with something lame)

I have hullygully rage too. RAH!

Privatisation is the biggest con ever. It's just a way to make the rich richer.

HullyEastergully · 14/11/2012 17:06

Well if you're all right Jack/Abs...

Quite Iggly

And then wring their hands and say "It's not OUR fault, they are private companies..."

Have you seen futurama? There's a joke about fascinating conversations about financial regulation

Don't worry Hully. Now we know about it, it won't be allowed to carry on. Tomorrow everything will change.
