Bankers Anonymous: Step three

By Heidi Chow, 20 March 2013

Last month we launched Bankers Anonymous – a five step recovery programme to help bankers quit their addiction to gambling on food. So far we've asked people to take two steps: to write to their MP and to spread the word on twitter and Facebook. Now it's time for step three.

Politicians from all parties monitor their local newspapers because they want to find out what their constituents care about. We want to get food speculation into the local press to make it an issue that can't be ignored.

Europe’s finance ministers will be agreeing new rules to tackle food speculation soon, but these could easily be scuppered by the UK government's opposition to tough regulation.

Lets continue to keep up the pressure by getting the media talking about this.
