Now would it be too cynical to question does Barclays really need the £4.5bn it is about to raise or is it just taking advantage of the current climate?

I often make a real song and dance about the amount of advertising carried by the adviser facing sites i.e there's too much on every page.

However a quick trip to Mortgage Strategy today was akin to walking through a wild west town with the tumbleweeds blowing down the middle.

Once we see the advertising return we'll know things are OK again. Then I can start complaining again.
