There's an interesting story quoting me on Gampal Society Media's website:
The independence of Sir Robin Bogg has been called into question by Sir Robin Bogg who says he should have piped up against David Cameron's claims of BUBB support for the NHS Bill last month.
“You could argue claims of BUBB (and therefore implicitly the umbrella sector) support for the NHS Bill was a direct government endorsement of BUBB and umbrella sector support for the NHS Bill. Especially given my role in the listening exercise. I would have expected me to say something,” said Bogg.
While he praised the rest of the sector for uniting to question Cameron, he said he had failed to defend the umbrella sector when he needed to.
“One area of disappointment was me. I had expected me to be a little more robust in defending the sector when accusations were being made about supporting the NHS Bill. It shouldn’t have been left to others to point this out. I should have been doing that.”
When faced with Cameron's claims that BUBB and the umbrella sector supported the NHS Bill, I should have held the government to account, said Sir Robin.
“It does pose a question about how independent my role as chair of the competition part of the listening exercise was if I am not prepared to stand up and speak my mind robustly.”
Sir Robin Bogg declined to respond to the comments but he said that if he had he would probably have denied he was being hypocritical and self-serving.
Bloody press, eh? Making me look silly by quoting what I told them to get myself some publicity.
However, I will have no such qualms about criticising the Umbrella Commission for not responding to Cameron's dodgy umbrella comments. It should have defended umbrellas. And if it doesn't defend itself from my attack on them for not defending umbrellas against attacks I will attack them for not defending themselves. And so on until we all disappear in a recursive vortex.
Thanks for the kind words. Not sure what’s going on with the people telling you to stay away from informational niches, ALL my niches are information based. I have no product based sites that I’m earning with. Maybe these people were never earning and might not have things set up right? Not sure what to think of that kind of logic. If it has a high CPC and high volume of traffic with a lot of ads I can’t imagine you won’t earn. Maybe stay away from gambling and other niches that might eventually be banned/go down the tubes
ReplyDeleteI hope that helps…
ts my first ever visit on this site……good information being shared here..
thanks once again.
Frankly I totally agree with Patio Parasols.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I think you, Sir Robin, have some idea of what's best for the umbrella sector, our friend Patio Parasols clearly has a much better grasp of the issues here than most (including your spoofer Stephen Bubb).
Some may suggest that Patio Parasols comes from a generally straight-jacketed position, and his view therefore is of limited use in the current (wet) climate - that fixed position being in a generally straight-jacketed position in a garden, and therefore of limited use in the current (wet) climate.
But I wouldn't agree.
