A day at the beach but leave your picnic at home!
By Pat Ainscough - Customer Services Receptionist
What a gloriously cloudless, sunny day Monday 23rd June was for London. A day to be spent at the beach, for sure: ice cream, lazing on a deck chair, sandcastles, maybe even a paddle, would be the normal order of the day. Not, however, for Investors Trust Finance (I.T.F) staff, who decided to roll their sleeves up, don some wellies and take time out of their working day to help Bill Dale of Beach Buddies with the Island’s volunteer beach cleaning charity!

By Juan Kelly, Managing Director, Investors Trust Finance (I.T.F)
The word ‘democracy’literally means people power, originating in its most direct form around 5BC. However, over time, direct democracy has become diluted to indirect democracy, commonplace today, where the people vote for representatives who go about the business of politics on behalf of the plebiscite. The argument for indirect democracy is often a pragmatic one. The administration of direct democracy is deemed to be cumbersome, particularly in larger populations where governments (which literally means mind control) have evolved into more complex institutions.

Arguably, they have abused their position. The global financial crisis is leading to a seismic shift in the way they operate and conduct themselves. Look no further than the huge regulatory changes which are happening in the UK.
