September 25, 2009 — Flexible New Deal New DealYes, not really the behaviour of a small business, but A4e Ltd (by far not a small business) has decided to spam blogs (which talk about New Deal, Welfare Reform and Flexible New Deal etc.) with their website. Very unprofessional.

September 23, 2009 — Flexible New Deal New DealA short post. Just promoting a link to Watching A4e with an article on Know Hope which appears to be A4e’s marketing brand for Flexible New Deal.
Twittering A4e – and No (sorry, Know) Hope
I can’t help thinking that the slogan Know Hope is a mistake!
Probably a cheap marketing stunt to get people talking about A4e…

September 22, 2009 — Flexible New Deal New DealI have been trying to get Emma Harrison to take part in an interview. She has declined it (by default) by not responding back to me after being so keen initially until I explained what the interview was for.
Darren Marsh of A4e marketing had previously expressed an interest in improving A4e. This was short lived. Seems like A4e had forgotten about this website. Well, until I emailed Emma I suppose. Emma: the offer still stands. Read more on New Deal Scandal »

Apparently, the bizchicks (including a good friend Rachel Elnaugh – infamous for being booted off Dragons Den when her business hit the wall) lost but the Eggheads are really clever people, to be fair.
Episode 106 (“bizchicks Vs eggheads”) was shown on Monday 10 November 2008 at 6pm on BBC2 (last year) – I happened to miss it, did anyone get it?

September 22, 2009 — Flexible New Deal New DealNew Deal Scandal has launched a new website called Flexible New Deal Discussion!
Up until now the deal has been I wrote the blog article and you give feedback (whether positive or negative) – since then I have expanded the site so very little by allowing you to rate the article and each individual comment. The maximum I can do with wordpress (thats said wordpress is my favourite blog platform).
I have decided it is a good idea to release a forum (feedback dot flexible new deal dot me dot uk) so you can now create a topic and discuss various topics including New Deal, Flexible New Deal, Welfare Reform and even Tell the world what you would do instead of flexible new deal if you was in charge!

New Deal Scandal is a blog designed to expose the Governments New Deal scheme, the New Deal prime contractors and New Deal subcontractors defrauding the system, the Flexible New Deal, Welfare Reform and the Government’s obvious intent of knowing about the poor conditions imposed on Jobseekers while refusing to do anything about it other than making it worse.

September 5, 2009 — Flexible New Deal New DealDoubts over the real reason for Benefit Busters Episode 2 being pulled has increased tonight when parts of the initial showing wasn’t available for viewing – being completely edited out!
The initial concerns were of such actions being carried out by A4e. Concerns then followed that episode 2 was pulled by the Government. After Channel 4 advised people that it wasn’t on 4oD due to them not having the rights, it was finally emerged that Benefit Busters episode 2 was pulled due to conceal someones identity after someone complaining they featured in it without consent.

(No Ratings Yet) Loading ...Benefit Busters Episode 2: Channel 4 pulls Episode 2 preview clips
September 2, 2009 — Flexible New Deal New DealNew Deal Scandal can reveal that Channel 4 has finally pulled the preview clips for Episode 2.
It has caused great controversy when Channel 4 decided to pull the Episode 2 Benefit Busters show from 4od and Virgin Media On Demand service while scrapping the repeat showing too.
There was confusion where most people were advised it wasn’t available due to Channel 4 not having the rights to show it on 4oD On Demand. This extended when cancelling the repeat slot and replacing it with another programme.
Finally, we hear it was due to someone complaining as they were shown in the programme. Only as of today the 2nd September has Channel 4 finally pulled the preview clips (even though Episode 2 of the programme was pulled last week). Read more on New Deal Scandal »

(No Ratings Yet) Loading ...Benefit Busters Episode 2 temporarily pulled to conceal someones identity?
September 1, 2009 — Flexible New Deal New DealIt appears that perhaps A4e did not pull episode 2 and perhaps the Government did not pull episode 2, says a regular blog viewer and commenter:
Channel 4 decided to remove this episode of BENEFIT BUSTERS because
subsequent to transmission a person contacted Channel 4 and asked for his
identity to be concealed in the programme. This person was incidental to the
programme, however, we will re-edit it so that they are not identifiable.
The removal has nothing to do with A4E. The new edit will be available as
soon as possible. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.
