David,
Thanks again for your very good ideas and obvious interest in trying to make progress in this and other shareholder cases.
Another SmartLogik shareholder, who also is a solicitor, recently suggested that we contact Robert Cole of the Times, Tempus column. He is a good investigative journalist.
This is a good, inexpensive way for all shareholders to take action. So, if the shareholders (Action Group members reading this email) are really aggrieved and want to do something, you can contact the following people. I suggest you use David's very good email below as a basis for your complaints. The more shareholders who actually do something and take action the better! It's no good just relying on others to do it for you.
This is a very emotional business. So, firstly, you need to GET ANGRY, and then you will have the energy to act. I think we need to be a lot more like the French, who wouldn't put up with this at all.
The way the authorities have stonewalled us with SmartLogik is
symptomatic of the general `light touch' regulatory approach taken by
this Government.
It appears that they are simply not interested and prefer to protect
the vested interests. Here is a quote from the editorial in this
weekends'
MoneyWeek: "Who put in place the current regulatory regime in Britain?
You know the one that allowed our banks to leverage themselves up to
the gills with toxic assets? Why, it was Mr. Brown, while he was head
of the Treasury."
To contact The Times, Tempus by email: tempus@... Or, you might want to phone them to voice your serious concerns: 020-7782 5000.
Another publication that could be sympathetic is Money Week:
The Editor is John Stepek, email: editor@...
Telephone: 020-7633 3651.
And, another publication that has published articles on SmartLogik Action Group is Shares Magazine. You can contact the journalist, Simon Keane at:
Email - skeane@...
Telephone: 020-7378-7131
GOOD LUCK TO ALL IN YOUR ENDEAVOURS!
On the other hand, you could do nothing and then there is absolutely no hope.
I remind shareholders about the Action Group's Campaign 2005, see:
http://www.slk-action-group.com/html/campaign_2005.html
It provides a lot more contact names to complain to…
Regards,
Justin Jones
