Tesco Compensation and Clickbait

You and Yours

Available for over a year

Tesco are paying two councils compensation after they pulled out of building a store in Somerset. We find out what the other 48 stores earmarked by the supermarket may get. Councils have been trying to introduce voluntary schemes to tackle problems associated with extra strength lagers and ciders. They ask local retailers to sign up, but some shops say they're being forced to. Clickbait headlines are everywhere on the internet. Why does just about every news organisation write in this style, and why does it make us click? From today, convicted criminals in England and Wales must pay up to £1,200 towards the cost of their court case. Legal experts warn it may lead to more people pleading guilty. Children with rare diseases are being helped by their parents who've formed online communities with other families in the same situation. We'll hear from some of the families. Young people are apathetic about voting in the upcoming General Election, but do they know not registering to vote can also affect their credit rating? We hear from our listeners about their problems with Royal Mail.
