It’s being discussed in main CV19 thread. R is lower in London

I lost 'notifications' on that thread a while ago and haven't bothered chasing it up, too depressing

What about all the motorists that jump onto the pavement to dodge a queue, drive up the wrong side of the road to make a turn rather than wait in a queue, jump the red lights, drive at 50mph in a 30 zone, tailgate the car infront for obeying the speed limit, parking on double yellows, intentionally failing to give the right of way..........

Like this you mean:

Aparently Adam Boulton last rode a bike in 1976.

Well, when ICE cars are banned and there aren't enough electric ones to go around, we can rest easy in the though that this bell end is either on the bus catching the virus or riding his bike.

Maybe he should give it a go to see for himself If it is all cyclists fault.

Journalism rule apparently, if you hear it on Sky News check the facts before repeating.

I thought reporters and presenters were supposed to be impartial .

That's why the BBC gets so much criticism, you only have to watch Sky, CNN etc to see a bias one way whereas the Beeb trying to cover from all angles or down the middle gets complaints for being too far to the left and too far to the right on the same story

The BBC news coverage is just as bad, but in a different manner. Significant ingrained, entrenched institutional political bias is their main crime rather than individual reporting bias, although they so times do that too. They're nothing to be proud of when it comes to objectivity.

For the last 2 decades none of the news networks, be it broadcast, internet or paper, have proven capable of objectively reporting the news. They all now keenly partake in driving the narrative themselves instead of simply reporting concisely on events.

I'm not interested in their opinion or insight. That's what magazine programmes like newsnight or printed editorial is for. I just want them to report on what has happened, and I'm not remotely interested in their opinion on any aspects of events.
