They are all fit and proper people those FSA directors, officers and others.

 

They blamed every other ISP for their website being 'down' for six days, some of these ISPs have servers in the US, some are in the UK and some are in Europe yet these ISPs couldn't find www.fsa.gov.uk for SIX days, no it wasn't the FSA's own systems that failed, the same systems that are meant to be the 'Hub' in a disaster, at first they blamed a 'hub' in an unknown place, then they blamed an unknown man with a shovel in an unknown hole in an unknown road in London, then they blamed an unknown 'junction box' that was mysteriously full of water in another unknown place.

 

There is more:

 

Representatives of the FSA told me to my face that their Board would never vote on anything that would contravene Article 6 of the Human Rights Act 1998 yet the Board did just that when it imposed an extra six months for time bars on 1st June 2004 without consulting one single IFA, they didn't even consult the OFT despite a law that requires them to do so.

 

The same FSA representatives told me to my face that rules are not retrospective yet they and the the FOS apply them as such, or ignore them as and when it meets their needs. Look at the issue of 'Red Letter' rules and how these have been used retrospectively despite their own research in 2002 that shows 99% of 'consumers' were well aware of the problems thanks to their own advertising and publicity and numerous comprehensive consumer documents explaining the issues, see here: http://www.fsa.gov.uk/pubs/consumer-research/me_research.pdf

 

They also told me that the FOS is not the appropriate place to determine complex cases where a third party has contributed to a 'LOSS' a 'consumer' is complaining about.

 

Then they write an open letter that contradicts everything they said, listen here: www.fs-du.co.uk/meeting.htm

 

Why would they say one thing in a conversation they themselves taped and something completely different in an open and public letter here: http://www.fsa.gov.uk/pubs/other/letter_ifadu.pdf 

 

Yes I believe everything the Leviathan says because it is represented by fit and proper people, listen so some of them here: www.leviathanlaidbare.co.uk.
