Subject: BS: posh folk shouldn't make the laws.
Have you seen the Pounds to Pocket advert on UK telly?
Couldn't believe the small print on the screen. Still not sure if I've misread. loans at 287% APR.
If a bloke kicks in a shop window, he gets sent to the nick for crimes against the community. However when the country is already in the shit with too many people in debt, the lawmakers have made it legal for some rich asshole to injure our society even further with acts of usury.
This is potentially much more damaging to society than getting falling down drunk, or some small act of larceny.
