A hideous, predatory business allowed to go without sufficient regulation far too long. Once it was suitably reined in by the FCA, it has shriveled like a salted slug.
In more positive news for capitalism: Wall Street hovers near record high S&P 500 loses some ground after opening above 2,900 for first time From the FT just now.
Half your head in shame whichever clever **** came up with these 'lovable puppets' to normalise and trivialise getting into debt forever.
