at the bottom there is a feedback section entitled

"Have you been affected by the Mini-tornado? Send us your experiences
using the form below."

Perhaps an opportunity to feedback how you are affected by the *use* of
the term "mini-tornado"?

On the Radio Four news at seven, the 'm' word was used, just after the
newsreader said 12 people were injured, 3 seriously and hundreds of
buildings were damaged. Yet, he then immediately referred to the
'mini-tornado' Perhaps if such a mini-tornado hit Broadcasting House, they
may change their viewpoint ;-)
