MP attacks banks 'profiteering from poorest'

MP attacks banks 'profiteering from poorest'

Consumers who have no internet access are getting a raw deal from the high street banks who only offer the best rates of interest to online customers, an MP warned today.

It is nice to know that a MP has recognised that things are cheaper for the [relatively] rich, a fact that has been true in the UK for a very, very long time. But then this MP has probably spent too long reading the BBC's online news, where the digital divide is only something that happens in the third world.
