raised concern about consumer protection for vulnerable people.
Media giant Sky has apoligised after letting an elderly Alzheimer’s
sufferer pay more than £100 a month for his TV
package.
His niece, Rachel Holdsworth, took to Twitter to express astonishment
that her 72-year-old uncle, Rodney, had a hefty monthly bill of £110 since he
was living in a council house on a basic state
pension.
Her uncle is a former cloth cutter in a clothing factory, and lives in
Leeds some distance from the majority of his family. On Monday, Holdsworth
explained on social media she had just got hold of his bank statement.

early 90s. Somehow, I do not see that as being in line with
