Regulators- damning report

Posted by Brian on 26/11/2024, 8:54 am

The FCA the the financial regulator has been hammered by a cross party group of MPs and peers branding it 'incompetent at best and dishonest ar worst.
To be honest the other regulators are no better, they act or seem to act with the British public
at the bottom of the list an alarming amount of higher ups in the regulators seem to land jobs in their respective fields , let's hope these regulators are disbanded and replaced with overseeing organisations that actually have the public foremost in their actions instead of allowing multi national companies profits to soar at our expense.

John it needs a completely new approach, it is strange that Joe Public never seem to be represented on these boards.

I watched a TV programme yesterday about the UK offshore wind farms. We are second to China in the world rankings. Unfortunately we appear to own none of them. The top 5 owners are DONG (Denmark), ScottishPower-Iberdrola (Spain), EON (Germany), Innogy (Germany), Vattenfall (Sweden).

George the previous government allowed the companies mentioned under license to do this. If I remember it didn't sit well with some of the then governments MPs. I wonder if it brings any income to the country's purse.

I agree it is wrong. They should have been made and erected by a UK company. A lot of research into wind turbines was done at ETSU ( energy Technology Support Unit) for renewable Energy at Harwell. Was it not , that all work had to be allowed to tender in all EU countries and they had to take the best tender., which never seems to be the UK as winners.

Sheila I would like to think so but I would like to know if other countries did the same. The UK should have tidal power farms you don't have to rely on wind, and nobody else could get their hands on them unless the government floog them off.
