Did you remove my comment because it had a link (to Guardian's article)? I'd like to think that was a careful measurement to remove a spam, but not censoring. I think this is a wonderful idea for good causes and I'd like to support that. I really do. But I can't stop feeling a bit skeptical about something that sounds too good to be true in golden colour.

Are banks going to introduce other charges to customers to compensate, or are they just buggering off to the countries where FTT's not applied? I don't know - but we've got to hope for the best when this comes to realisation. 0.05% isn’t it? not 0.5%. Did you remove my comment because it had a link (to Guardian’s article)?
