It's simple enough but I'm sure Bats will be back to tell us it's all the Tories fault in spite of them launching and growing under Labour.

APR is a red herring anyway as these loans are designed for short terms, not full years so any comparison with long term loans is meaningless.

If someone can't make ends meet that's when the state should do it's job.
What job? Lend poor people money? Give poor people money?

The point of the state is to look after the land and the people living in it. Else what is it for?

I'm not bothered if it's the strawberry, vanilla or blueberry flavour neoliberals. Though now you mention it, the blueberry ones are in charge at the moment, so they are the ones who's fault it is, right now.

You weren't exactly clear on what the state should do. Personally I think it should do as little as possible, I wouldn't trust any of them to run a tuck shop.

Put forward a clear and unequivocal success that the government is involved with and I might reconsider. And that goes for either side.
 
IF most people understood percentages it would be all well and good. An alarming number don't; that is the problem.

Every week a wagon comes, a bloke jumps off the back and empties my wheelie bin. All I've got to do is put it outside for them. A success by anyone's reckoning.

If that's the best example you could come up with what does that say?

More than half of councils collect fortnightly and the rest still do weekly for the minute so no, they can't even get that right.

Keep trying though.
 
Doesn't matter what I can come up with, because your standards for good enough will magically move themselves upwards.

To give an example, if my car broke down and I needed £200 to get it repaired and it was getting towards the end of the month, then I wouldn't have the money to pay for it. I would therefore look at borrowing it from a payday loan company until payday, when I would be able to pay it back.

I suspect a credit card would be a better option.
