Default UK public deserves REAL forecasts not scams, says Piers

Piers has weighed into the DX weather scam that is fleecing the British public. DOn't listen to the charlatans on there. Do yourselves a favour and subscribe to WeatherAction. Its REALLY cheap for what you get

Piers Corbyn adds: "The public need Real forecasts not scams to sell newspapers. WeatherAction succeeds where others fail. I really strongly urge anyone serious about weather to get our 60% OFF ALL WINTER 45d+30d forecastd offer, only £30. And of course the corresponding $30 USA and Eu30 Europe ALL WINTER Offers.
Thank you

In which case they should listen to the free ones from the Met Office
and avoid these well known weather charalatans like the plague.

OK. Already paid for unlike that raving loons demented output.

You are free to waste as much of your own money as you like on quack
doctors, and charlatans who claim to divine the weather by examination
of chicken entrails or whatever other magick he claims to use.

It is after all a free market and CAVEAT EMPTOR applies in spades!!!

I haven't wasted money on anything yet except UKMO, council tax and the BBC license fee But really I have no choice. However with UKMO as my money is taken at source I don't get letters threatening large fines and imprisonment if I 'm late in paying.

Well in that sense nothing is really free.
Like 'free postage & packing' it's not free but the cost of it
is built in to the cost of the product and you don't pay a specific
itemised charge for it.
TheMet Office is 'free' in the sense we don't pay a specific
charge for it, unlike Corbyn & co.

Still has to be paid for out of the public purse to the tune of 170 million quid per year.

If people think Piers is making some sort of a fortune out of Weather Action, then they are totally off track.

Let's say Piers made 100 grand per year , doesn't really compare with 170 million-does it.
