What gives the government the right to enforce a cap on the percentage rates charged by Payday Loan companies and the like?

Let's be honest for a moment. If some bloke, woman or family buy beer, fags, 50" flat screen tvs, Sky packages, iPads, etc rather than pay bills and then are stupid enough to go to one of these Payday loan places, why not just let them not pay the lender, get take to court, fined, not pay the fine and get sent to prison. The kids get taken into Care where, quite frankly, they will be much better off and can anybody tell me who the losers are in this situation?

Baltic Britain: Arctic gusts due this week will make parts of the country feel like it's -9C in the wind

• A cold sweep will descend on Britain on Thursday with lows of -2C
• The Met Office claims it will feel as low as -9C in the north of England
• Snow falling in north east expected to settle to form 10-15cm beds

Snow will descend on Britain this week as the country faces a sweep of freezing temperatures.

Temperatures will feel as low as -9C on Friday as a cold sweep moves in from the north, the Met Office revealed.

The freeze is beginning to creep in but will reach its height on Thursday when snow will fall across Scotland and in the north.

If the D/Mail says it will snow in Scotland on Thursday...It will .. why do you think they would lie..

[cee-dee]

Years back, me and the blokes I worked with used to buy a newspaper each and we'd swap 'em. I read 5 newspapers a day!

The DM always had a different take on a news item than everyone else.

If 19 people had been arrested at a football match, the DMs headline would have it that 20 had been arrested.

They always sensationalised things.

C/D ..Roll on Thursday ..one of us is reading the wrong newspaper and its not me..

Thats because they read the Daily Mail.. The paper that knows everything..

[blackburn_stevie]

One of you two is going to be so miffed on Thursday and the other one will be allowed to gloat for a full week. The thing is, we need to get rules set in place.

I mean to say, if one snowflake lands in the Shetland Isles, does that count as a WIN for Tommy or does it have to be a case of Snow ploughts being sent out to keep the roads open?

If a slight breeze bends a weed stalk over, has Tommy wom or do we need to hear tales, not in the DM. about sheep being blown over?

Tommy or CD ...... mmmmm ...... I know which one I'm rooting for, lol
