BBC Look East - "run em down"

[wafflycat]

Aha, the link finally worked

It's good to see they balanced out the comments and the "Road Tax" issue - although they could've explained more about how roads are funded as this is likely to confuse people even more now. But all-in-all it was good to watch

EDIT: VED was explained - got interrrupted while watching it the first time and missed that bit

Well to be fair, they did say that roads are funded through general taxation, which is the case.

I know - I missed it the first time I watched it as my boss walked in

The explanation was too hurried, and the apology was not sincere.
I would guess that all the ignoranters still think that motorists have more right to use the road than cyclists because they pay and cyclists don't.

I agree, the guy is a trash reporter.

They'll always think that though. Some local news bod isn't going to change their tiny minds.

I was quoted too.

The "calming" music didn't help :/

I always thought BBC LE was a crap programme preferring ITV's local news offering instead. But since I don't watch TV anymore, almost a year now, I am not bothered. 'Am I bovered ?

And I don't get Look East's coverage areas. Here on the Suffolk border- most 'local' news we get on the BBC is about Milton Keynes, Northampton and flamin' Corby. Corby FFS! That's half way to Wales. Luckily on Sky we can get proper East Anglian news on channel 981, (Look East Norwich) but it must piss you off if you live hereabouts and can only get nonsense about Milton Keynes and the like. Frankly though, ditching the telly altogether sounds like a fine idea!

BBC Look East forced to set the record straight on 'road tax' … er, VED + Video here.
