Media reach new low

[raceboy]

Last night, on some East Midlands regional news show, they did a 15 minute bit on Nottinghams speed cameras, usual tosh about them being the saviour of the world as we know it, and they had the nerve to keep interviewing the mother of a kid (who was killed on the road that now has specs on it), at a point with 4 pelican crossings on it but somehow this wasn't mentioned and they kept making her look through the tuf tuf club website at all the charred Gatso's with her giving it the full 'think of the children' rubbish

I saw that programme too.... I know that there were at least a couple of crossings... but four?!

The producer of the programme probably didn't give a monkeys..... speed (sorry - safety) cameras are a hot topic at the moment, so don't worry about the facts, this made great regional TV!

Typical media spin I'm afraid!

As for the women who presented it.... if you have ever watched her on reginal news etc I am convinced she has only 2 brain cells and that 1 of those is defective......


She has to be the dummest bint on TV

Think so, not my usual route anymore but it was the crossroads opposite the Commerdore and I think theres a crossing on each road, so a safe crossing is possible whichever road you want to cross
unless of course your a head down run for it without looking 10 year old

Actually you're right..... there ARE four! (Have just been to have a look!!)

Always these pathetic arguments. Of course, speed is involved with all accidents. Without speed, no accidents would ever happen.
But how about mothers playing around with their toddlers while driving?n
