De-Regulation: 
The real cause of Political Corruption & the UK Financial Collapse & Global Recession:

Free Trade or Corporate Corruption?
The real problem is not so much ‘Unregulated Capitalism’, it has more to do highly aggressive ‘£egislation for Profit’ perpetrated by ALL Government, Corporate & especially Legislative bodies.

Deregulation: Political Definition:
1:            Deregulation: The process of changing regulatory policies and laws to increase competition among suppliers of commodities and services.

2:            http://www.investorglossary.com/deregulation.htm
Deregulation is an act by which the government regulation of a particular industry is reduced or eliminated in order to create and foster a more efficient marketplace.

It is also widely held that deregulation often serves as a catalyst for increased innovation and mergers among weaker competitors.

Industries that have undergone deregulation include communications, banking, securities, transportation, as well as power and utility.
Although deregulation might purge government influence all together, some government oversight usually remains!?!  

Deregulation: APP Definition:

Deregulation is a hypocritical political mechanism to remove legal & financial restraints over Corporate & Public Authority (C&PA) to allow them an illegal ‘Pecuniary Advantage’ over the public.

Gambling with the National Economy:

Deregulation removes all legal and economic controls from the national economic system, which produces a highly corrupt system very reminiscent of a Casino in which the odds (& Pecuniary Advantages) are stacked in favour of the ‘house’ (or GC&PA in this case).
‘Deregulation’ is the primary influence in the increasing GC&PA Corruption and the single biggest cause of the UK and Global Financial Collapse.
The UK and Global Economy will not recover until it is properly ‘Regulated’ and this form of Corruption is totally eliminated, by legal action, if necessary.

Deregulation & the Company Law Reform Bill:
Most members of the general public are not aware of or even marginally interested in ‘Company Law’, but they should be!
New Laws, known as the 'Companies Act 2006' have put the general public at the mercy of Politicians, Cowboys & Conmen.

The ‘Company Law Reform Bill’ was introduced in late 2004, this is an open invitation to any small Business-Con Artist to commit Fraud against the public. The majority of the public will not have the ability to defend themselves against such acts of Fraud and Theft.

Like many previous flawed legislation, the government and legislature will ignore and even defend all infringements of the law, to do otherwise would be tantamount to an admission of government corruption and the implementation of corrupt legislation.

23/11/04: From the Institute of Chartered Secretaries & Administrators: (ICSA)
The proposal in the draft Company Law Reform Bill announced today to remove the requirement for all private companies to appoint a company secretary is badly flawed, fundamentally mis-targeted, and will remove a vital safeguard against company fraud, said the Institute of Chartered Secretaries and Administrators (ICSA).

 John Ainsworth, ICSA Chief Executive, commented:
“If this measure is seen as deregulation, it is one that will rebound on the Government. The company secretary provides a watchful eye over the directors' conduct, helping to protect the investments of shareholders.

Obviously the ‘flawed’ Company Law Reform Bill will not only affect Shareholders, it will increase Theft & Fraud against the general public by any small corrupt company or business person. 

Banking Industry & “Legislation for Profit”:
Legislation governing the actions of the ‘Banking Industry’ can better be described as “Legislation for Profit”.
Many dealings with the general public can be argued as “Illegal Profiteering” and "Criminal Acts" contravening the ‘1968 Theft Act: Obtaining a pecuniary advantage by Deception’.  
Unfortunately, in this day and age of modern ‘consumerism’ and modern electronic banking, even the ‘poorest’ person and those on ‘low incomes’, require a bank account and banking services, simply to survive.  

Banks have more control and influence over the individuals ‘Life’ than the Government!
Banks take advantage of the situation to exert an 'undemocratic' control over every individual’s private existence and 'Quality of Life'.  
The Banking-Cartel is the single most powerful, none governmental, none elected, Corporate Authority, over which the government and the public have no control. In fact, there is good argument that the 'Banks Control the Government', which is totally Un-Constitutional and Un-Democratic.

At the same time as the mass deregulation of the UK Corporate and Public Authorities, the various State departments 'Governance Sections' gave up the power to Police and Govern Corporate & Public Authorities, which resulted in a massive increase in Corporate & public Authority Corruption, Theft & Fraud against the public.

The Various Government Depts are supposed to police or provide 'Governance' to control Public & Corporate Authority.
Dept for Transport: Local Paring Enforcement
DTI (Dept for Trade & Industry) Company Governance Dept; Supposedly Governs Company House and Company Law. (Ref: 'The Saga of Table D')
FSA; Financial Services Authority: Supposedly Govern Financial organisations including Bank Overcharging.

Case Studies: 'A Nightmare in Elmbridge'

The APP has evidence that there is probably more fraud & theft committed by Local Authorities and Public Utility Companies, of which they continually accuse the  public.

• The APP has provided evidence of the following:
  Local Council Benefit Dept fraudulently claimed a £3,000 overpayment.

• The Same Local Council Parking control started charging parking fees 2 years before they were legally entitled to.

• NTL regularly 'double billed' customers with a fraudulent billing system that probably netted NTL about 25% more than they were due. Possibly about £9 Million pa.
