Opportunistic scum. Fancy preying on people who've already been fleeced.

More especially if they also voted Brexit.

My thoughts precisely.

One can just imagine with PPI's Brexit and Thomas Cook, the same
knuckledraggers probably fell for the rebuild Iraq scam too.


Thomas Cook had over a bilion pounds in debt as a result of
massively overpaying for Airtours in 2008, and only recently
admitting that that purchase had no asset value.

It is one of many zombie companies with completely
unsustainable debt that have been kept alive by negative
interest rates since 2009. If we had returned to 'normal'
interest rates when help-to-speculate started they would
have disappeared earlier, like Woolies, NHS and Mothercare
have.

I suspect much of the PPI scam money ended up being spent
on Thomas Cook holidays, and that juicy money stream,some
tens of billions of pounds has now stopped.
