Rosie making a phone call to the Financial Services Authority

Food speculation is one of the ways bankers' greed harms the poor and puts us all at risk, and the huge investment bank Goldman Sachs is one of the biggest culprits.

Our financial regulator, the Financial Services Authority or FSA, is charged with keeping the financial system stable and safe. We should look to them to reign in irresponsible gambling on food by Goldman Sachs and other banks.

We need the phones ringing off the hook at the FSA, supporting new powers for the regulators to take action against Goldman Sachs.

Call the FSA on: 0845 606 1234 from 19 July 2010.

When is the Bank of England becoming the main body for financial regulation?

It would be nice to give them a few thousand welcoming phone calls, keep them busy in their new role.

Thanks for posting.

@ENGLISHBL0KE It won't happen until 2012 - until then the FSA is still the main regulator. More here: guardian.co.uk/business/2010/j­un/16/mervyn-king-oversee-fina­ncial-regulation

Rosie, Jan 2008 to SEPT 2009. People on benefits who had mortgages in UK ( 5 million on benefits ) were having thier mortgages paid a rate of 6.08 %. Ops, the average mortgage rate was about 3.6 %. They state we take the money and say nothing. Well done FSA for regulation of banks. Public money here , ouch. Breaches by the bank or failure by the FSA maybe. Those on benefits, hey , well done, you creamed the system. Get it Rosie, call the FSA and ask them for a reply . Millions or Billions
