Maybe then we will find some good points in amongst your ideas?

I was talking about bringing alternatives back through a concerted effort by the Government. Credit Unions are the poor relations when you compare the help and assistance from Government compared to the banks.
With all the pensions and demutualised funds at the bankers disposal it would be difficult to describe the affair as boring. Gamblers don't gamble because it is boring.
When discussing banks and credit unions I was merely pointing out the folly of the Government helping Bankers out and ignoring the smaller less supported credit unions.
I accept that the ideas are there to be critiqued and knocked but it doesn't cost anything to be a little more considerate with the tone of some of the replies.
Keeping things simple, providing good service and giving impartial advice and benefitting members/customers should be encouraged. The Bankers, often described as the "wealth creators", have been a law unto themselves treating customers in a shoddy fashion. I'd like to give more support and access for credit unions to expand and compete with banks, who currently, are the banks poor relation.
