In the years 1989 - 1992 the Lloyd's of London insurance market lost
more than 8 billion through its own failings and incompetence; when
some investors could not pay the huge demands for cash, charges were
taken on their homes and the following petition urges the Chairman,
Lord Peter Levene, to remove them in the name of justice and fairness:

I hope that you will be able to sign the petition, for which I thank
you.

There is more information by following the link.

Please spread the word!

No

They knew the risk.

Not at all; most new Names at Lloyd's were told, as I was, that the
syndicates on which they
were initially placed were low-risk ....

.................................................. .....................................
snip and huge excuse.

Note the word ""RISK""

I knew there was a risk in setting up my business. FINE when everything was
going A1 and I was getting awards for business success with two factories
and 23 staff, but when Maggie came along and did what Hitler tried to do,
smash British industries and I lost everything thank you very much, did I
bleat? No, I picked myself up, brushed myself off and started all over
again.

If you can't stand the heat of the kitchen .............................

I am now using my experience and expertise to help other businesses to learn
from what happened to me. You might be interested to know that I was invited
to talk/lecture to new business ventures on what happened, and even the most
experienced business people agreed that what I did was correct and that it
was outside influences, Maggie Thatcher, which crushed me.

I was talking to a very successful business man the other day who was with
me on new business start up courses all those years ago and he too had a
rough time, BUT, the recession of the late 80's, put up by Maggie Thatcher,
was worse than the present one. She destroyed business, good ones like mine,
this present recession has given businesses the opportunity to get rid of
dead wood on their books, but the business is still there :-))

RISK. If you don't like it, get back into bed.

Mike
