I'm not sure that will be the case, Steve.
Since money is more important than people (yes - it is), it's in the insurance companies' interest for people to tackle people and it to go to court, where it will be a civil matter. If we let people burgle us and then fill out the forms, it will require huge amounts of compensation etc, and they won't be at all happy about that.

ah, yes, but who has the greater influence, the Insurance companies, or a mass of activists with media backing?

The insurance companies.
No one likes the hippies - they're all sanctimonious wankers.

They like their money, though.
That's the difference - which would you rather have, a protest song sung by some dirty, workshy skank about how it's all so unfair and capitalism equals CRAPitalism actually, or a nice, new, shiny computer?

Once public opinion is against a current or prospective piece of legislation or government position/event etc etc, and the media has it's grubby, fat little fingers in the mix, stirring it up and using every opportunity to stick the knife in,
consessions end up being made, surely shirley? They had to back out of the NHS changes and reassess it
