Getting the kind of Commission of Enquiry is whilst thoroughly necessary going to be a tall order as the extent of vested interest in the City is so great. The apologists are out in force even on the BBC who persist in calling in that wanker David Buik from Cantor Index to make inane and risible statements several times a week. If he like others in the City are unaware of the extent of the criminogenic culture then he is unfit to hold any job there. Having just finished Nicholas Shaxson's Treasure Islands it is clear that all the institutions of the City need to be re-built starting with the Corporation of London. However, the legislative burden has to extend to the tax system and importantly to the awful state of affairs that tolerates the separate status of the City of London and the egregious situation that allows for tax havens in former British colonies. Then the use of LLPs and LLcs has to be stopped. It is hard to know where to start - perhaps we should consider publishing a list of persons who cannot be trusted to be involved in the reform process and invite contributions together with supporting 'evidence'.

To this end I wholly support Paul Moore's New Wilberforce Alliance but accept it took William Wilberforce a lifetime (50 yrs) of campaigning to finally abolish slavery. I can only hope, through sufficient public endorsement, the abolition of financial slavery will gather the necessary momentum to produce a favourable outcome somewhat sooner. http://lifeafterdebts.blogspot.co.uk/lifeafterdebthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00542395196708736628noreply@blogger.com
