South Bank

A couple of years ago this was a rather entertaining and informative website. I mainly joined to follow Hubbles style of writing about the EU. Recently Southbank has devolved into a mega spamming operation. Whereas the generalised economic blather is informative you do not get any real or relevant specific investment advice, instead just like so many American 'investment advice' websites you are bombarded senseless with endless exhortations to sign up for a cascade of additional tip sheets all at mounting cost so in effect you get no real investment advice for signing up to Southbank. The launch of the Farage tipsheet is the latest case in point. Apart from the fact that it is not only being pushed by Southbank but also elsewhere it has now been aggressively marketed to me on 42 occasions sometimes 3x daily. That is spamming and I have told them so. The more they push it in your face the less likely you are going to pay for it - it has the same effect as Trump's endless tweets. He loses votes. The videos are endlessly long, often tell you little more than a reality show and do not have the facility to read and skim so you are trapped. All in all a rank disappointment.
