The tied publicans I know - around 300 mixed from all the major pubco's and some smaller of the asset strippers - have not been issued with their COP. Most of them didn't even know that such a thing as a code of practice even existed.<br /><br />COP means nothing, It's not policed, it's not enforceable, it's ignored as a matter of course. Pubco's tell government, tell the BBPA that everything is hunky dory but why would pubco's let their tenants have any ammunition to defend themselves with? WHY WOULD THEY? There is no checking, no enforcement, no follow up. <br /><br />This, as David Cameron likes to say when he's trying to get thick people to hear him, is like the writing running through a stick of rock. Every bit of rot in the tied pub sector is like that. Bullshit and lies run through everything.<br /><br />But Really? You know that don't you?J Mark Doddshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11800542445712331202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6467535.post-27361268048219872492015-08-26T05:48:24.578-07:002015-08-26T05:48:24.578-07:00Do you have the exact stats on the proportion of t...Do you have the exact stats on the proportion of tenants who don't see the COP (and the source of those stats)? It's easy to make unsubstantiated claims; more difficult to substantiate I suspect!Non Labour but fascinated.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05814664786703341901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6467535.post-59677466319390806752015-08-18T11:26:29.453-07:002015-08-18T11:26:29.453-07:00The COP is supposed to be delivered to every tenan...The COP is supposed to be delivered to every tenant as part of the 'partnership' process. It is not. The above is what happens. COP means nothing, It's not policed, it's not enforceable, it's ignored as a matter of course. But Really? You know that don't you.
