T...A4e are smart...or at least they think they are. They certainly believe in their own publicity - and that what Benefit Busters is all about, publicity. A4e beleive in the adage that there is no such thing as bad publicity - as long as they have control over its content, hence the removal of this site from its original home and the interferance of the equally critical New Deal Scandal site.<br /><br />A4e will treat BB as a positive puff-peice about what good work they do, how 'passionate' their staff are and how they 'improve peoples lives'. No doubt it will end up on various websites.<br /><br />I listened to Simon Mayo's BBC Radio Five Live prog today. There was a breif review of the first episode of BB. Whilst the two guests said they hated the title, they thought the program was good as the single mums recieved help getting back into work. (A pity they are not familiar with A4e's real nature). In fact All the single mums got jobs in this episode. Why then can A4e not replicate this 'sucess' nationwide? <br /><br />We shall watch with interest!imatnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6941116624675227992.post-6968924418477833772009-08-16T23:22:50.491-07:002009-08-16T23:22:50.491-07:00....NO WE WERE NEVER MADE AWARE OF ANY POSSIBLE HO.......NO WE WERE NEVER MADE AWARE OF ANY POSSIBLE HOSTILIITY WHILE FILMING NOW WE ARE GETTING IT...JUST WANNA SAY THANK YOU TO THOSE WHO GIVE FULL SUPPORTAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6941116624675227992.post-68714956970448120142009-08-14T11:27:24.719-07:002009-08-14T11:27:24.719-07:00I was there when they where filming and was asked ...I was there when they where filming and was asked to be interviewed three times by Holly be declined.. She was dead aginst a4e and showed us a list of things they where investigating this list was hidden from the staff , however the production company filming was the same one who did secret millionaire on Emma Harison so no doubt she will be painted in a good light ... one of the questions she wanted to ask the big boss was A4e never worked when there was a recession so what chance has it got now ? unfortunatley she said he always had an excuse not to be there so she never got to askAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6941116624675227992.post-23307245499194356282009-08-13T10:37:22.282-07:002009-08-13T10:37:22.282-07:00I hope the programme makers/A4e made the single pa...I hope the programme makers/A4e made the single parents aware of the possible hostility there appearance on such a show might be met with.
