Reckless? That'll do nicely



I'm grateful to Peter Black AM for a press released headed "Labour 'complicit in reckless lending' says AM".

If you're appalled by reckless lending, you can sign up here for a Liberal Democrat credit card. After an initial interest-free period you may find yourself paying a far from reckless 18.9 per cent APR.

Peter Black's ire was focused on mortgage lenders but I think the principle's the same (and the interest rate higher) so I hope I haven't quoted him entirely out of context.

Clearly he didn't have the Co-Op or Visa in mind when he said: "It is quite clear that the banks themselves will do nothing voluntarily to reduce the good living that they make out of the debt they have foisted upon their customers."

  1. I would expect a Lib Dem card to attract almost no interest at all.

  2. The Liberal Democrat Visa card of course does not charge a monthly fee like many others whilst its interest rate is very competitive with other such cards. Also, whenever it is used the party gets a 0.5% commission. What more could you ask for?
