Anomalous
You are behaving as if you are dealing with reasonable people. You are not.
They are lieing, theiving, selfish, selfinterested bastards, the lot of them. They are all just looking out for themselves and their jobs. They, the MMs, the LSe the FSA, No10, No11, MPs could not give a stuff about what is right and what is wrong.
You, at the moment, are playing the game by their rules, as they want it played.
Take the ball off them and don't show it to them again. Or put it another way. You shouldn't play poker with your cards face up.
