Comment on Insurers to lead unwanted elderly customers towards correct aisle by Duncan Minty

While the ABI obviously talks about older policyholders to a Age UK audience, I’d be interested to know if this agreement also applies to young drivers. The economic and social case for it to do so is obvious and pretty compelling. The move to greater transparency is good and I’d be interested to see how much the data can be drilled down into. However, as the ABI is a trade body, I have a lurking suspicion that the data may be assembled to prove their members’ point.

It is better if employers ask proper documents from employees as an evidence.

interesting point about how the papers don’t index their content by date. It would be really useful if you could just type in a date and see precisely what was being reported…

Comment on Media roundup – legal aid cuts and Jackson round 2 by Paul Walker

Paul Walker — Thu, 18 Nov 2010 09:41:17 +0000

It seems that following Kenneth Clarke’s announcement, the UK is slipping ever faster into an American culture of legality and law where money talks, what ever the true position.

This is a sad day for British culture as we follow a truly crocked and corrupt US approach to justice – if indeed it can ever be called that. The US system is turning in on itself ad becoming ever more inward facing, choosing where possible to avoid the scrutiny of overseas judicial process in the knowledge of its own bias, inability to follow rules of procedure and general corruption.

The UK should actively try to avoid this route as it would take years and millions of pounds to reverse should that become necessary. The US is a classic example of why this approach does not work and the utility of Legal Aid was one aspect that separated the UK from this incredulous and ‘greed driven’ approach.

Be warned, the “UK of A” is fast approaching. Civil rights, liberties and justice are on their way out… will the last person to leave please turn the lights off…
