    Three-quarters of the UK's 'no win no fee' accident claims firms could soon close their doors, a report from market analysts Datamonitor has predicted.

    The reason is the government's new Compensation Bill, which requires claims firms to be authorised.

    Datamonitor said the authorisation costs could force up to 300 of the UK's 400 claims firms to leave the market.

    What companies are going to provide their ad revenue now? Let's hope Jamster and Co. are willing to pick up the slack with their annoying bloody adverts, or else I won't be able to catch my daily dose of Due South, Golden Girls and The Jeremy Kyle Show... :eek:

    Maybe that should be "thick bastards will ring in and guess the wrong answer" quiz shows.

    I'll assume that people who guess the right answer don't get to go on-air, thus dragging out the sh1tty quiz.
