Panorama's expose of in-branch bank "advice" saw the hashtag army hit Twitter with a vengeance, and prompted one poster to answer the programme's title by brandishing a chinnyreckon.

 Miss the show last night? Don't worry, catch up with our pick of the top #panorama tweets.

 

Stoopish Liam "Who do you go to for financial advice, if not your bank?"

andycaterer #panorama "Where else do you go for advice other than your bank". I think we need to educate somewhat.

PeteChadborn According to #panorama the risk tolerance options are seemingly "safe" or "gamble". #naughtybanks

Notadwarf One thing's for sure. Consumers and commentators will rightly demand higher standards - from everyone #Panorama

PeteMatthew @theparaplanner #panorama is a shadow of its former self. While I loathe the banks, the journalism is so biased its ridiculous

IFABlogger I thought banks did a good job. Not one of them was sold life insurance. #getting better #panorama

peterblackburn #panorama Why didn't you mention IFAs as a source for trusted financial advice? www.unbiased.co.uk #canyoutrustyourbank #naughtybanks

PaulGormanCFP From bank adviser to DIY - out of frying pan into the fire - pretty poor journalism #panorama

YvonneGoodwin Good question if you're appointing a financial adviser - how many clients does he/she see each month? #naughtybanks #panorama

IFALife "Banks are the last place on earth you should go for financial advice" #Panorama

PaulGormanCFP And i thought my telepathy based risk profiler was market leading ? :-) #panorama

YvonneGoodwin Balanced portfolio have you ever seen an unbalanced client? #naughtybanks #panorama

alistairmiskin It's not the staff that should be sacked or reprimanded - heads should roll at board level. They've created this culture #Panorama

Contact_Light Yes Lloyds. It's because of bad apples in your employ, not your policy #panorama #chinnyreckon

JacquiMorganF1 Interesting #panorama tonight. I stopped working for a bank as staff were pressured into selling products regardless of their suitability

jamie_dewar This BBC Panorama is simply the best training video ever. You lot could learn from this. #oldschool #forgottenmethods #bringsatear

bigmim watching #Panorama banks, liked being mugged by a "friend" they charge for everything and are evil

paullondonart It really is time to stop the ripoff by banks #Panorama but who will do it ?

matt_j_little To say Bankers these days are no better than fraudsters is unfair. Fraudsters have some modicum of integrity! #panorama

pywacket4 Watching Panorama... the banks really are arses. I can't believe they get away with this. #Panorama

PaulGormanCFP Wondering if that RBS "adviser" once worked at DFS - last day of sale, buy now whilst stocks last #panorama

Angeleenie I have never met a single person, not ONE, in the banking industry who I would trust with my money. Not ONE single person. #Panorama

BobJWilliams On #Panorama tonight: Apparently Banks rip us off! Shocking. Next week is the 'Bears Defecate in Woodland Areas Scandal.'

stuartwilks 'where do you go to for advice other than your bank'?? Well my dear, an independent financial advisor might have been a good plan! #panorama

Panorama Biased??

Not all Bank Financial Advisers are bad! The 'experts' actually said they were 'very impressed by the advisers in The Co-operative Bank and Santander'. Where were the videos of these advisers? All media love bad news and hate good news, very poor pantomime journalism.
