We care about FT readers, even if you're too snooty to make yourselves members, and so we've devised an exclusive offer to help you escape from this dreadful mess:
- You invest your entire life-savings with us in itemised tranches using the poorly designed button and menu contraption half-way down the sidebar, or in person.
- We send you photos showing you the ends to which your money is being put.
- You get absolutely no other return - so our free photo deal may be rather better than could be the case anyway if you leave your money with a proper bank.
