I wonder what the story behind this clip is....

It's a long story Baron, but I have a friend who has lost their life savings by banking with Kaupthing, Singer and Friedlander on the Isle of Man. They paid UK taxes and, because they worked abroad and didn't have a permanent address in the UK, they had to bank offshore if they wanted to save in sterling.

Some of the stories of the 10,000 people who have lost all their monies are horrendous. You can read more about it on their website.

This is one of the women who has lost her life savings. I just thought it was very brave of her to do the video.
