What do you think of Dragons Den?
Well, it does not get my full approval and the reason why is that I don't think that it should come down to that eleventh hour for somebody to make a decision or be humiliated on prime time. Look, lets say you have a great invention, lets say you are an unmarried mom, and you have very good idea, and you have gone to the bank, you have this thing going. And now you are into the bank for lets say for twenty thousand quid and you are going to feed the kittie. You going to patent, a jolly good product and now the bank is going to foreclose on you. What am I going to do, what am I going to do? You get a chance to get on the dragons den. So all of a sudden this heavily pregnant lady gets a change to go onto the dragons den. Now she unable to express herself, why?. Because she has not got a business plan because she is not good at business plans, but she has come up with a very very good idea. Then on prime time she might get that 25k that the bank has demanding from her at the expense of giving up her company to the so called loan sharks, and then that lady's name disappears out of the front. The only time she is ever going to be on television again, if these guys finally allow it, is when she is on the dragons den, that's five minutes of fame. I don't agree with that. I think a lady like that should be given the best possible option to bring it though and, if she is into the bank for 25k, we;re going to try and find a way of easing that debt in the best possible way. We have to salute those ordinary men and woman who have the guts to get off their back sides and put it up without humiliated it or being ripped off.
