I quite agree, but we have on the one hand Kent Wossisname and on the other, Richard Branson, as the public face of the muggers.
Quite apart from the damage this is doing to Virgin Media, what about the other Virgin brands?
There is a precedent for what could happen if a business sector cannot be trusted to act with responsibility. How would it be if Virgin Media was regulated as tightly as Virgin Atlantic?
If a business model is 'just to stay this side of the law, hopefully', rather than to pay even lip-service to ethics, it ought to be regulated to the hilt, as airlines are.

And I'm b******d if I would want to fly in one of Kent's "Rusty Migs".
