The Hypocrisy of AVIVA Downton Abbey ITV and PTSD


I’m not usually one to watch these ITV dramas but I started to watch Dowton Abbey on ITV, obviously what interested me was the storyline of lives of the Crawley family was set during the First World War and how there lives changed completely due to the impact the War had on its staff and family members. In last weeks episode one of the staff at Dowton was experiencing Shell shock (PTSD) and woke the whole house up screaming in absolute terror. I was glad that the producers highlighted this trauma and used it as a storyline. Then during the adverts I noticed that the programme was sponsored by AVIVA, apart from AVIVA interrupting the show, it did stick in my throat a little at the double standards of AVIVA who several years ago turned me down for insurance due to my own PTSD (See attached Letter) it’s a bit like the Sun Newspaper trying to sponsor Liverpool , or Oliver Letwin being made head of MI6. Hypocrisy at its worst.
