Bank of Ireland launches financial well being programme

The Sunday Times picks up on it in an opinion piece, although I don't know what "spiky" means. Makes me sound like a punk.

AIB boss cuts a lonely figure
Spiky Brendan Burgess, of the Fair Mortgage Rates Campaign, has accused Bank of Ireland of “hypocrisy” over launching a Financial Wellbeing initiative while charging a standard variable mortgage rate of 4.5%. The average rate across the eurozone is 1.7%.


This, he says, amounts to additional interest of €500 a month or €6,000 a year on a €200,000 mortgage. Even if this is comparing apples with oranges, the bank is still charging a lot for its fruit.

TBH .... I can't visualise you as a punk Brendan.

On a serious note though; campaigners are often portrayed as cranks, crack pots etc. so they're just lumping you into the that group of complainers/rock the boaters etc.

By attacking the messenger, they are clouding the message.

Keep chipping away at it Brendan... your efforts are much appreciated.
