Full deposit protection is nigh 5:51pm on 05 Oct 2008 Robert,

I don't think I've yet to read one of your posts on the BBC website, or listen to one of your comments on BBC radio, where you haven't been unnecessarily pessimistic.

Granted, the financial situation we are in is very grave, but I fail to see how, given the whole western economy functions on confidence, your pronouncements can do anything but make the situation worse.

I heard you recently say on, I think Radio 5, that you didn't feel you had any responsibility in this area. I'd say you have a greater impact then you know!

The negativity espoused in the media must rub off onto traders, bankers and the average person on the street . I'm glad to see that the media didn't learn any lessons from the Northern Rock shambles! "All we do is report the news".
