ITN looking for people with debt stories for a TV discussion

Re: ITN looking for people with debt stories for a TV discussion

I thought that the programme was badly hosted. Kate Hopkins kept shouting people down so that their point was lost or very much watered down in abuse which distracted from what they wanted to say.

I'm proud to say that I do not frequent the Twitterverse or wash my dirty linen in public on Face Book.

This could be the reason why I didn't pay any attention to that symbol at the bottom of the page which looks like a flying dolphin.

And furthermore it would be futile for anyone to attempt to restrict my comments to 140 characters. That's not going to happen

I have accounts so I can keep up on posts and tweets from some sources, but I never ever post anything myself.

I'm proud to say I frequent both FB and Twitter to promote our business, and to date they have both proved extremely beneficial in introducing new customers to our services.

Watch again if you can bear it.

I set a reminder for this although was still working at the time it went live.

That said, just caught up on the last three pages of posts on it and it looks like i didn't miss anything worth watching anyway!

So use http://www.long-tweets.com/ or http://talltweets.com/ or http://twenth.com/ or http://twishort.com/, all of which accept > 140 characters and post a link to one's twitter account.

Well it's partly down to the spiel you get sold by the researchers - Ben the author of this thread told me in no uncertain terms that the studio audience would be involved. 3 people were spoken to for less than a minute other than KH getting 22 minutes.....

To be fair if we did go we'd have kicked off at ITN as it was sold to us totally different to what we watched. What we actually did watch was nothing shy of abuse at debtors, which is why we exist - to stamp it out!!

Be interesting if Ben ever commented on here again seeing the general feeling we were all correct in staying away.

As soon as I read that that the over-privileged tw@t that is Katie Hopkins was one there…. I didn't even bother with the programme.

You can usually gauge how something's going to go by the people involved in it.
