Is anyone else struggling to understand why the collapse of Farepak is getting so much coverage? I mean, really, do you think it would have got so much coverage if it had been a hedge fund? I appreciate that the savers are poor people, probably putting aside a few pounds from their benefits, but by all accounts this saving scheme only pays for Christmas presents. I know it's not ideal, but it's not like anyone is going to go hungry because of it (apart from employees who seem mostly to be demonised by the BBC). Who cares!! Let's move on to bigger more important issues - the world is overheating, thousands of our troops are engaged in a seemingly unending series of conflicts (did anyone else think that Spooks "Aftermath" theory was just a little too close to the truth???), and our kids are getting fatter, more unhealthy, and more unruly than ever before.
For fuck sake BBC, please get things in perspective for once!

It just a prime example of tabloid journalism by the TV companies!
Someone ought to say to those who have lost money where the Law stands "Caveat emptor" meaning "let the buyer beware".
I think its the first seasonal piece as it coming up to Crimbo, we are in the middle of November after all.
