One thing I do utterly abhor though, is the deliberate targeting of the weakest and most vulnerable in our society by unscrupulous individuals, simply for financial gain. Martin's payday loans example is a valid case in point. Borrow £100, at some ridiculously inflated rate of 1995% APR! :doh:
That's legal extortion, and quite simply, should be banned!
