Never heard of Intersango.
Anyways, the devs of BRIT are public, which means it's an honest attempt. That alone will mean that it will go beyond the nascent satoshi levels that it's at right now.
And they'll have Fiat to BritCoin via instant bank transfer soon.
I bought in at the 230-330 level, it's at around 800 right now, so I was right to sell VRC and buy something else. I predicted it just fine. And BRIT is going to 10'000 satoshi or something like that, so let's see.
Sorry to derail the thread.
FYI - Some Founding Fathers were strongly opposed to the formation of a central banking system; the fact that England tried to place the colonies under the monetary control of the Bank of England was seen by many as the "last straw" of oppression which led directly to the American Revolutionary War. You really trust England with currency lol. They invented central banking.
