Sir Richard - We Missed Our Big Moment

Simon Collyer, ABC founder  was invited to talk on the RT TV Channel about Universal Credit and Pensions.

“Thousands of elderly people and their partners are at risk of being pushed into poverty by a major change to benefits for pensioners, campaigners have warned.

From today, pensioners who have partners of working age will be barred from applying for pension credit until their partner reaches state pension age.”

The ABC was asked to provide some live comment at the, RT TV Milbank studio, with the news presenter Eisa Ali during a live UK evening news bulletin.

 Alas as Virgin has still not resolved the new broadband connection situation, and we missed our emails till we caught up Friday (3,000+) and missed the big opportunity (Bong). 

The ABC has gone through to the second round of the Lloyds Bank/SEE Business School grant funding competition re; Work TV. Simon Collyer is to make a presentation at Suffolk University on the 6th.

Thank you to the RT producer Stephanie Stapleton for contacting the ABC. We had a great chat yesterday with Stepanie and I hope that we can appear in future.
