Good, the vast majority of brokers are crooks either way. How does the common man invest when he is charged £12 to trade, on top of stamp duty. You have to trade a minimum of £1000 a trade to make it worthwhile.
HL is probably the worst out there. Overpriced trading, overpriced funds. You are better off with Freetrade or a Vanguard Index Fund.
