More BBC hypocrisy
Guest Blogger – Stephen Roche
Christ knows why I did not turn it off, but I’ve just had the misfortune to watch a piece on The One Show all the way through. First time for everything I suppose!
I could not believe what I saw and heard, the BBC had the cheek and audacity to criticise the way breakdown operators and insurance companies do business in an attempt to retain customers. The BBC accusing other companies of acting in a less than honest fashion, the words pot, kettle and black spring to mind.
Firstly, I love the way that The AA,who seemed to receive special treatment in this piece were not given the opportunity to reply. A bit more biased journalism from the BBC, that is if you can call Dom the mockney barrow boy a journalist.
Whether you approve of what these insurance companies do, they have to do business in the real world. They have to attract and retain custom in a competitive market place. They don’t have to rely on an unjust law which states if you don’t pay us we’ll prosecute you, regardless of whether you use our service or not. Think of one other business that legally employs a private army of wannabe bailiffs who gain access to your property illegally and intimidate you into handing over your hard earned money.
Dom the consumer champion then went on to advise everyone to contact their insurers before their next policy renewal to try and get a discount and play on their customer loyalty. I wonder what would happen if we all contact the BBC and demand a discount when your licence comes up for renewal. See you all in court!
