It seems their staff are just making the decisions they want and the public and charities are being conned

It’s time we pulled the plug on premium rate lines full stop. Their only use is to rip people off. If no-one ever rang an 0900 number, they would go away.
Yes. Also the senior producers who deliberately engaged in the scams for ITV, and who suppressed the contrary views of their juniors, should have been sacked. C’mon Michael Grade, you should be upholding standards, not tacitly engaging in fraud.
Yes, especially when we see these headlines….
